BroadMap Workshop in France

BroadMap workshops have also been held in Paris, France. Hosted by the French Ministry of Interior, the workshops took place on 15^th June and 7^th July, gathering a total of 25 attendees, including representatives from the French emergency ambulance, prison, police, fire brigade, customs, as well the Ministry of Ecology, which represents a complete panel of PPDR users.

The French Ministry of Interior began their interactions with end users already in early May 2016, when end user representatives were gathered and introduced to the BroadMap project, its objectives and expectations, for the first time.

The BroadMap workshop on 15^th June was used to bring together end users and explain the aims and purpose of the BroadMap Questionnaire and how to fill it out correctly. Some videos were shown to the participants to engage them in the debate of how technology and PPDR needs could change in the near future. Participants also debated the possibilities offered by the current and coming technologies.

On 7^th July, the French Ministry of Interior gathered the completed BroadMap Questionnaire and answered the last remaining questions from PPDR representatives.

Overall, the workshops in France have been a success and obtained a good overview of the perspectives of the French PPDR representatives.

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.

BroadMap Final Stakeholders' Workshop: The start of a journey towards interoperable broadband radio communication systems for public safety and security

Mission accomplished for the EU-funded flagship project taking the first step towards future procurement of interoperable next generation of broadband radio communication systems for public safety and security!

The Success Story of BroadMap: First Step towards Interoperable Radio Communication Systems for Public Safety and Security in Europe

The EU flagship project BroadMap is coming to an end now. The one-year project, which started back in May 2016, has gathered Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) organisations from 15 European countries (Member States and associated countries) to work together to establish a common roadmap for future evolution of EU PPDR radio communications.
