BroadWay Releases Notice on Pan-European Public-Safety Communications Procurement
27th Jul 2018
Europe’s BroadWay project released a prior information notice (PIN) in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). BroadWay is a team of 11 procurers from 11 European countries looking to procure a pan-European broadband mobile system for use by public-safety responders.
The team is comprised of national ministries and agencies responsible for communications services used by 1.4 million public-safety responders across Europe. BroadWay invites suppliers to help the BroadWay group of procurers to better understand the state-of-the-art and market status of broadband mobile for public safety.
The project aims to enable first responders with better communication technologies than the ones available to bad actors and with a resilience to cope with difficult crisis situations.
Briefing events will be held online 20 July and 9 August, with two briefing meetings to be held in Brussels 13 and 18 September. An online questionnaire will be open until 21 September to allow potential suppliers to provide opinions.
