The Philadelphia Police Academy hosted the first demonstration from Motorola Solutions of 700 MHz LTE technology, prioritizing multiple video streams from a dash-mounted camera in a squad car connected with a Band 14 Motorola dongle. The demo, exploring the technology's ability to prioritize multiple video streams automatically, was attended by Public Safety personnel from the region. The two-day temporary wired network included video streaming from two fixed cameras transmitted to a "mock command center." The command center utilized dynamic prioritization, according to Rishi Bhaskar, vice president of private broadband sales for Motorola.
This demonstration blazed trails in its ability to show an integrated interface from a real-time video intelligence (RTVI) application of mixed video streams. The base station used for the demonstration was developed by Motorola's networks division, and is being sold to Nokia Siemens according to the deal announced in 2010. The LTE base stations that will be used when in Motorola's Public Safety deployments will be from Ericsson.
Several government agencies, including Philadelphia, have requested waivers from the FCC to allow Public Safety Broadband spectrum in the 700 MHz band in support of a first-responder LTE network. Recent voices from Capitol Hill are encouraging legislators to reallocate the 700 MHz D-block spectrum to Public Safety, which would double broadband spectrum space.
