PPSO (Joint) Presentation on PPDR (including Project MESA)

1. GSC11_GRSC_30 PPSO (Joint) Presentation on PPDR(including Project MESA) • Examples of implied and regional terminology relationships involving Public Safety, Security and Emergency Professionals: • Public Safety = Public Protection, • Disaster Relief = Disaster Response, • [ITU-T/GTSC Telecommunications for Disaster Relief, Emergency Telecommunication Services (National implementations/IEPS)] • Emergency Response (First Responders, NGOs and even Critical Infrastructure Restoration) = Emergency Services, Emergency Recovery Operations, • National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP)

2. TIA and PPDR • TIA has a proven track record of supporting emergency responders, and has long been a catalyst for the wireless industry to develop and maintain public safety standards (analog and digital) for equipment and systems • TIA standards activities began in the 1920’s • One Committee, TR-8, Broadband Data Systems has met continuously since 1944 and has been involved in producing standards for land mobile systems and products that serve the public safety community and other private radio users • TIA’s Engineering Committee TR-8 develops narrowband, and wideband and now broadband standards, involving both users and suppliers in its standards deliberation activities GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
