DHS CISA Website Overview:
“Presented through interviews of emergency communications practitioners and managers nationwide, the six-minute video focuses on the features and comparative costs of P25 standards-based systems versus non-P25 systems, the practical value of P25 technology in public safety operations, and recommendations for funding P25. Looking ahead, the presenters discuss the current states of P25 and long-term evolution (LTE) broadband technology, emphasizing the durability, transmitting power, one-to-many communication, and emergency push-to-talk features of P25 radios. Their conclusion: P25 and LTE are not exclusive options but likely complimentary components of public safety communications in the future.”
