Among the solutions demonstrated were push to talk (PTT), push to video (PTV), voice and video conference, video streaming, situation awareness data (C2), land mobile radio (LMR) and telephony connectivity, using smartphones and vehicle terminals operated in mesh and ad-hoc networks, supported by Self-Organized (SON) communication technologies.

The solutions demonstrated allow seamless connectivity between various broadband access technologies including Wi-Fi, WiMax, 3G and LTE cellular networks, together with P25/Tetra. The interoperability was achieved by using Elbit’s TMR Max platform for voice, data and video routing to provide access to the most current data, improving the efficiency of first responder forces.
