Enabling the Future Hybrid Broadband Network

• The top result from the 2015 Broadband Communications Workshop is a general need to support the emergence of a future broadband network in which law enforcement users will be able to communicate seamlessly and securely over whatever Internet point of access is the best fit at any specific location, time, and situation.
• The top-rated need in this area was guidance for agencies on how to acquire, manage, and use the forthcoming technologies.
• Participants also emphasized the importance of providing high-quality service in rural and sparsely populated areas.

Making Sense of Information in the New Network

• The second major need identified by the workshop is for capabilities to filter, prioritize, and make sense out of all the new data that the future broadband networks will transmit. A common concern was the danger of information overload and the need to better manage and curate information to make it most useful for law enforcement.
• One top-rated need in this area was to develop smart software agents that can prioritize what officers in the field need to see in different operational contexts.
