The future of the channel
This year’s FCS Business Radio ’19 presided over a great deal of interesting content and comment, with plenty on PoC and the industry’s current challenges and opportunities
The event kicked off with a keynote from Joshua Nichols, strategic accounts manager at Brentwood Communications, which did a great job of setting the scene and reminding everyone of the key trends.
Two of the sessions were focused on PTT over Cellular (PoC). Motorola Solutions’ WAVE EMEA sales lead Dan Faulkner said there are many things that are taken for granted with PMR that have to be considered when looking at PoC. These include a potential trade-off in battery life and PoC call performance, the issues around a possible smartphone-based substitute to back-to-back mode and resilience. When asked by Land Mobile as to whether Ofcom’s new focus on shared spectrum is increasing the company’s interest in developing private infrastructure, Faulkner highlighted its MOTOTRBO Nitro product in the US, which is designed to work using CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum. He added that Motorola Solutions is looking at making it available globally, but the biggest obstacle is frequency allocation.
