ENHANCED PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A communication system (100) and method comprise a narrowband communication device (102) operating over a private narrowband network of a public safety system (140), and a broadband communication device (104) operating over a public or private network of a broadband system (150). A secure network link (122) operates between the public safety system and the broadband system (150). An information sharing link (120) between the devices (102, 104) operates in accordance with public safety applications downloaded into each of the devices (102, 104). The public safety applications control collaborative operation between the devices (102, 104), such that the broadband communication device (104) provides an expanded public safety user interface to the narrowband communication device (102) and the collaborative operation relays information to user interface elements of each device (102, 104).
