Cloudstreet's Innovative Dynamic Network Slicing Platform Combined with
Roger-GPS's Radio Support and Synchronization Solutions Makes Local Control a
Reality
Helsinki, Finland, 2017-11-06 10:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Cloudstreet, the Network Slicing Company and Nokia incubated spinoff and
Roger-GPS, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) leader are pleased to
announce that they have successfully delivered the world's first demonstration
of the ability to enable any 4G/LTE network to support mission-critical
connectivity for public safety. The two Finland-based innovators presented the
live proof-of-concept before a gathering of over 50 public safety organizations
participating in the Critical Communications Broadband Group's plenary session
hosted by Nokia at the Critical Communications Finland Conference October 27th.
The demonstration marks a watershed in critical communications proving the
ability to support life-critical connectivity for public safety through
so-called "Local Control" functionality. Enabled by Cloudstreet's
Application-Aware Network Slicing platform, Local Control in the mobile network
context provides public safety and critical communications operatives the
ability to secure guaranteed, fail-safe connectivity to meet the demands of any
data or communications applications required in the field. Coupled with
Roger-GPS's government grade GNSS repeater, that allows signal base
synchronization across limitless base stations, the solution provides
end-to-end QoS-adjusted mobile radio throughput for the gamut of essential
life-saving public safety applications.
"We're pleased to unveil this solution that is sure to become a critical
platform for future public safety networks", said Mika Skarp, Founder & CTO of
Cloudstreet. "The importance of delivering Local Control functionality for
critical communications cannot be overstated. Leveraging our Dynamic
Application-Aware Network Slicing Platform along with key Radio signal support
and synchronization gives public safety operatives the guaranteed service
levels they need to meet their life-saving mandates. Together with our partners
and a wave of innovative product developers, applications like real-time body
camera video capture and situation analysis over unified commercial mobile
networks suddenly become a reality, and these are but the tip of the iceberg.
We're proud to be playing our part in making this possible."
Building toward this proof-of-concept, Cloudstreet has been working closely
with the US government's Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) group
overseeing FirstNet, a globe-leading critical communications initiative in
partnership with AT&T established following the tragedy and ensuing
communications system failures of September 11th. Looking for a solution to the
limitations of TETRA-style dedicated networks for public safety PSRC and
Cloudstreet were the first to draw up the blueprint for Local Control
functionality as an essential component of next generation critical
communications networks.
