Urgent Communications uses a variety of media-articles, podcasts, videos, webinars and more-to inform its audience about technological advancements, market conditions and policy changes that potentially affect the ability to provide robust connectivity in even the most difficult communications environments. Key areas covered that enable these services include land mobile radio (LMR); cellular broadband; 911/control room; Internet of Things (IoT); location-based services; software applications; satellite backhaul; and the fast-emerging satellite-direct-to-device arena.
