Samsung
Electronics today demonstrated live its Public Safety solution that uses LTE
technology (PS-LTE) to support emergency services; it is the world’s first
solution based on the 3GPP Rel.12 standard.
The
new standard was completed and released less than three months ago, in March
2015, but that was enough time for Samsung to demonstrate end-to-end services
with newly developed base station, LTE Core, IMS Core, Application server and
devices - underscoring the company’s LTE technology leadership.
"The
live demonstration of our PS-LTE solution is a significant achievement,” said
Youngky Kim, President and Head of Networks Business at Samsung Electronics.
“It takes us one step closer to successfully participating and building the
world’s first nationwide Public Safety network with LTE Technology, and we are
confident in accomplishing this thanks to our leading product portfolio and
constant innovation.”
The
live demonstration, which was held at Samsung Electronics’ Digital City
in Suwon , South Korea , showed how Samsung’s
PS-LTE solution could be used during a real emergency situation. When an
emergency situation occurs, Samsung’s PS-LTE solution provides relevant parties
with an optimal transmitting method, such as voice, multimedia Push-To-Talk
(PTT) and video conference services.
Samsung’s
eMBMS technology successfully connected more than 80 devices and simultaneously
transmitted HD video during the demonstration.
eMBMS
technology multicasts and broadcasts content to a large number of subscribers
simultaneously without delays or disconnection. It can vastly improve the
number of devices that can stream live video of the field.
With
eMBMS, there is also an opportunity to better utilize the available bandwidth,
which is critical during massive disasters that require more than 1,000
personnel for the rescue mission, drawn from the full range of emergency
services, such as fire fighters, police officers and medical professionals.
Without eMBMS, only a dozen of devices can live stream the HD video in one
cell, whereas eMBMS enables more than 1,000 devices.
As
the leading contributor to the 3GPP PS-LTE standard, Samsung has supported the
standardization of the device-to-device (D2D) and Group Communication System
Enabler for LTE (GCSE LTE) specifications in Release 12.
With
the Release 13 specification, Samsung aims to further cement its leadership
with public safety related items such as Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT),
Isolated E-UTRAN Operation for Public Safety (IOPS), and enhanced
device-to-device (eD2D) standardization.
Since
February 2015, Samsung Electronics has taken a role as a vice chairman of SA6
(Service and System Aspect), which takes care of MCPTT (Mission Critical
Push-To-Talk) Standardization.
