At a glance:
o Public safety representatives experience how the sharing of multiple real-time video images
and fast transfer of data between patrol cars and ?control center? helps responders react
more quickly and safely
o 4G LTE demonstration conducted using Alcatel-Lucent?s mobile broadband demonstration center

The Iowa Statewide Interoperability Communications Systems Board and Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) have demonstrated the role of 4G LTE mobile broadband in enhancing the sharing of critical information between public safety teams.

At the internationally acclaimed Iowa State Fair (August 13-16th, 2012) ? which attracts more than a million visitors each year from around the globe including key decision makers from the business and political world ? public safety representatives saw how an all Internet Protocol (all-IP) based 4G LTE mobile broadband network enables the lightning-fast sharing of large amounts of data and video between agencies, control
centers and teams in the field. Fingerprint databases, medical files and more can be delivered to handheld and vehicle-based mobile devices in real-time.

The demonstration was conducted using Alcatel-Lucent?s mobile broadband demonstration center. This vehicle houses a self-contained end-to-end 4G LTE network operating in the spectrum bands used for public safety operations. The network transmitted using an LTE base station operating in Band 14 using a 10MHz channel bandwidth in both uplink and downlink. Patrol vehicles from Polk County Sheriff?s department and RACOM, a mission-critical communications solution provider, were equipped with ?Band 14 modems?, or ?receivers? that pick up an LTE signal and link it to the devices used by emergency first responders. Multiple cameras were positioned in the mobile vehicles as well as at fixed sites inside the State Fair facility. Video
images were taken from the cameras as the vehicles patrolled the streets and neighborhood around the fairground and five simultaneous views were shown on monitors in the patrol cars and within the demonstration center. The demonstration showcased the high speed, low latency capabilities of an LTE network enabling huge files of data as well as multiple live video images to be shared between control and
patrol staff.

?The Iowa Statewide Interoperability Board is committed to promoting
communications solutions for public safety and enhancing interoperability and
efficiency for all public safety agencies who serve the people of Iowa. As
such we are pleased to have the opportunity to show many of Iowa?s public
safety representatives how commercial mobile broadband technologies can
deliver exciting new applications and services for use in the field.?
?Through these demonstrations, we were able to show how vast amounts of
information can be shared quickly among many different public safety teams.
It is easy to see how the sharing of multiple video images can deliver the
bigger picture, enhancing the safety of first responders serving the public.?

?Supplementing existing ?push to talk? radio communications, Alcatel-Lucent?s
public safety solutions using 4G LTE mobile broadband are able to deliver
real efficiencies for public safety agencies around the globe. With the recent
launch of our First Responder Video solution, we have given teams even
greater control over the amount of information they receive and how they
receive it, to further help them respond safely to any given situation.?
