2026 Agenda

While Land Mobile Radio (LMR) remains a cornerstone of mission-critical communications, agencies are increasingly adopting cellular and broadband technologies to extend, augment, or in some cases replace traditional LMR infrastructure. Over the past decade, mission-critical platforms have evolved to support LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, and satellite non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity, expanding capabilities beyond the boundaries of traditional LMR networks.

This session explores how converged LMR and broadband technologies, including 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, and Satellite NTN connectivity, are enabling a new generation of mission-critical communications. Attendees will learn how modern platforms extend coverage, enhance communications, and deliver faster access to critical information in the field.

Takeaway

• How 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, and satellite NTN are expanding mission-critical communications beyond traditional LMR networks
• The role of converged LMR and broadband platforms in delivering resilient, multi-network connectivity
• How broadband-enabled capabilities can streamline operations and accelerate access to critical information
