Abstract

Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) systems provide voice and data services to first responders. Next generation PMR solutions are likely to converge with public land mobile networks such as LTE. During catastrophic events, the supporting infrastructure networks could be destroyed, saturated or absent. Therefore, it is helpful to deploy temporary networks on the isolated areas and backhaul them by means of geostationary satellites to connect to the core backbone.
