with increasing Ethernet/IP and QoS for critical
traffic  packet dominates
 Bandwidth and network-footprint growth
 Increase in secure remote access
 Automation and acceleration of information flows
 High availability following a catastrophic event
“Several major incidents over the past four decades have demonstrated that traditional narrowband emergency communications
infrastructure that supports only local emergencies is quickly overloaded by regional or national catastrophes.

Benefits of Backhaul Transformation to a MultiAgency Network Environment
• New relationships between agencies  gives greater collaboration
- Multiple agencies working together to determine what was needed
- State/ Regional planning and Rehearsal for Team building to foster cooperation.
• Improved reliability / interoperability to complement the TETRA/P25
- Sharing data for CAD  backup center for smaller towns now economically feasible
- New network architecture protects against disruptions, e.g. cable cuts
• Eliminates jurisdictional boundaries and expanded cross-jurisdictional
interoperability
• Managing public safety network and IT business applications on a single open
platform to increase efficiency (OSS/BSS)
• Network convergence (Fixed, Wireless, Data and Video) providing virtual
networks to Police, EMS, and municipal administration welfare services (meeting
legal requirements) Reduced cost and increased operational efficiency.
• Provides a coordinated response to events that is: scalable, efficient, effective
and responsive to the needs and resources of the agencies.

Cost-effective Service
Take–Away Trends
• Broadband: Will be the key change agent for Pubic Safety / Public Sector
Communications and Government services. Dominant application will be video.
• Network Transformation: Digital Communications will allow the convergence of Data,
Video and voice communications, as well as Advanced IP based applications such as Video
Collaboration, Image Transfers and Information Sharing, giving new levels of functionality.
• Interoperability: Is not just communications; it will enhance interagency cooperation
and eliminate jurisdictional boundaries to improve incident management and effectiveness.
Interoperability is not just for special events, 97% of interoperability is day-to-day use.
• Operational Support Systems: Mission
Critical System Networks will require up to 5-9‘s
reliability, this will be absolutely critical the
networks must operate in some of the most
extreme environments. Hurricanes, floods,
earthquakes and other natural or man-made
disasters.
• Open Systems: Increased use of standards-
based systems to insure interoperability between
different systems, different agencies and different
vendors.

ITU-R Focus on Disaster Relief
• Radiocommunications Assembly 2007 (RA-07) approved Resolutions
ITU-R 53 and ITU-R 55 instructing all ITU-R Study Groups to carry out
studies on the use of radiocommunications in disaster prediction,
detection, mitigation and relief.
• Nearly every Study Group within the ITU-R has a role to play in Disaster
Relief. (More detail on next slide).
• The ITU-R Departments and Regional Offices also are engaged in
Disaster Relief efforts
- Implementation of Resolution 647 (Rev.WRC-12). See Activities on Resolution
647 (WRC-07) - "Emergency and disaster relief radiocommunication"
- Publications, such as the ITU-R Special Supplement on “Emergency and
Disaster Relief”

ITU-D Focus on Disaster Relief
• Tampere Convention on the Provision of Telecommunication Resources
for Disaster Mitigation and Relief Operations came into force 8 January
2005.
• The Tampere Convention calls on States to facilitate the provision of
prompt telecommunication assistance to mitigate the impact of a
disaster, and covers both the installation and operation of reliable,
flexible telecommunication services. Regulatory barriers that impede the
use of telecommunication resources for disasters are waived.
• The ITU assists in fulfilling the objectives of the Tampere Convention.
Dr Cosmas Zavazava of the ITU-D is the contact point.
• The WTDC assigned Question 22 a key role in implementing Resolution
34 (Rev. Hyderabad, 2010), “The role of
telecommunications/information and communication
technology in early warning and mitigation of disasters and
humanitarian assistance”

countries
- “Utilization of ICT for disaster management, resources, and active and passive
space-based sensing systems as they apply to disaster and emergency relief
situations”
- “Compendium of ITU'S Work on Emergency Telecommunications 2007”

Key Messages
• The ITU-R and the ITU-D already have well-established groups focused on
disaster relief and recovery.
• Efforts must be made not to duplicate the work of the existing groups.
• Cooperative and collaborative work between the three sectors will reduce
duplication of effort and create synergies.
• Liaison activity by the ITU-T Focus Group with ITU-R Study
Groups/Working Parties and ITU-D Questions will ensure the most
efficient use of time and resources.
• “Compendium of ITU'S Work on Emergency Telecommunications 2007”
could be a model in three-sector cooperation for us to follow.
