The Success Story of BroadMap: First Step towards Interoperable Radio Communication Systems for Public Safety and Security in Europe

The EU flagship project BroadMap is coming to an end now. The one-year project, which started back in May 2016, has gathered Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) organisations from 15 European countries (Member States and associated countries) to work together to establish a common roadmap for future evolution of EU PPDR radio communications.

New paper on Cyber Security in Wireless Communications.

In this paper, David LUND (PSCE) addresses the issue of cybersecurity in wireless communications.

In an increasingly interconnected world, the benefits of wireless communications are numerous. Yet, because the information conveyed may be valuable, wireless communications have become attractive to attackers, and vulnerable when carried over poorly implemented or configured wireless systems.

The BroadMap project: closure and future initiative

The BroadMap project, coordinated by PSCE, is soon coming to an end! this project, after validating PPDR (Public Protection and Disaster Relief) organizations’ existing requirements, will pave the way to the next step - the future innovation procurement for an EU-interoperable broadband radio communication system for public safety and security, providing better services to first responders and police agencies. 

The BroadMap project has been closely monitored by the European Commission DG Home, and has become a flagship project. It is presented as a successful example of pan-European cooperation of public authorities, preparing to procure innovation for the benefit of secure society.

The Final BroadMap Workshop will in particular present the outcomes of the BroadMap project, and provide information on the next steps after the end of the project.
