Several solutions have been proposed, where a private communication system in the 4G network is the most expensive option.
Crucial arguments is that society must have control over the information and it can not can be achieved by using the services of a commercial network from, for example, Telia and Tele2.
– the solution that best meets the needs is a nationwide, dedicated radio network for essential services, says Minna Nyman who is operations manager for Rachel on MSB.
There is great demand of mobile broadband as a replacement for current Rakel system, which is only capable of verbal communication.
An own 4G network, however, is the most expensive option of the possible solutions that have been developed by the National Post and Telecom Agency, PTS, in a parallel investigation that also turned over to the government of the day.
PTS anywhere that the emergency services be placed in the area in the middle of the 700-MHz band phone companies such as Telia and Tele2 do not want to be in. It is less attractive for commercial services and requires different equipment than regular cell phones .
– Now we have the weight of a third of the band for not preclude such a development, says Jonas Wessel, head of PTS’s spectrum section. I think we should wait and see where it goes.
The Blue Light The authorities do not want to be in the space PTS proposes, but want to have one of the spaces in the rest of the 700 band which also phone companies want most. It will be a tough battle that will be decided by the government and Interior Minister Anders Ygeman.
A placement in the third PTS reserved for emergency services means that all equipment and development will cost a lot more says Minna Nyman.
– If we go that route, we will end up in a niche market solution where we can not make use of consumer products in our business. But that of course we can do.
The 700 MHz band is drained right now on TV broadcasts starting in the north and about a year, the telephone company that won an auction PTS holding, start rolling out 4G network there.
