BroadMap Workshop in Finland

The BroadMap workshop in Finland took place on 18^th and 19^th May 2016 in the city of Kuopio.

The workshop was divided into three separate strands – one for police, customs and border guards; the second of rescue services; and the third for ambulance services. Each of these groups discussed separately and then met together on the second day of the workshop to fill out the BroadMap questionnaires and discuss multi-organisational cases.

The workshop was complemented by a social dinner on the evening of the first workshop day. A total of 27 participants took part in the workshop in Finland, including representatives from the Police, Customs, Border Guard, Rescue Services, Ambulance Services and the Military.

BroadWay @ the 10th CoU meeting in Brussels

David Lund presented the BroadWay project during the “Procurement and Innovation” panel session as part of the 10th Community of User meeting on March 5th 2018 in Brussels.

Mr Lund described the progress made from the one-year BroadMap project, which represented the interests of 15 European countries and prepared the ground for a Pre-Commercial Procurement activity, to the BroadWay project, just validated by the European Commission to implement a pre-commercial procurement (PCP) to develop technologies to enable a pan-European interoperable broadband mobile system for public safety.

Through 5 different stories, the aim of the “Procurement and Innovation” session, was to provide an insight on the new instruments for the acquisition of innovation, identify the strengths and weaknesses of such instruments from the perspective of both sides of the market, identify success stories under the frame of EU funded research and innovation framework and, finally, to propose lines of action for the improvement of the market uptake of security research and innovation outcomes.

BroadMap Final Deliverable now Available!

We are happy to announce that the Transition Roadmap and Pre-Commercial procurement specification of the BroadMap project is now publicly available.

The European Commission-funded BroadMap project ended earlier this year and marked a first step towards the establishment of a Pan-European Interoperable Broadband Public Safety Communication Network. Gathering PPDR organisations from 15 European countries, this one-year project successfully delivered a core set of specifications to be used for procuring innovative solutions for broadband communication systems.
