In today’s interconnected world, the need for best-in-class, reliable connectivity is more crucial than ever.

Connectivity is the backbone of Critical national infrastructure (CNI), ensuring resilient, secure, and seamless operations across essential services like transportation, energy, healthcare, defense, and public safety.

Recent threats, such as those targeting the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, highlight the vulnerability of our infrastructure. As CNI operators accelerate the adoption of digital technologies to enhance resilience, reliability, scalability, and collaboration, the demands on underlying networks are intensifying.

Connectivity for CNI today includes a variety of solutions:

  • Fiber for business-critical and static applications
  • PMR/Tetra for mission-critical applications
  • LoRaWAN® and Nb-IoT to monitor and track assets
  • Satellite for marine communications and remote areas
  • Wi-Fi for collaboration and coordination

5G connectivity represents a significant leap forward, offering guaranteed quality of service, flexibility, multi-device support, massive IoT connectivity, and extensive geographic coverage. The global public safety community has been a rapid adopter of LTE/5G technologies for mission-critical communications (MCx), underscoring the value of a secure, compliant mobile network capable of unlocking advanced multimedia services and new use cases while rationalizing costs.

This adoption sparks a broader discussion about transitioning to IP-based communications across a wider range of CNI organizations, sharing similar requirements for both mission and business-critical communications.
