Finnish Critical Communications Ecosystem
The Critical Communications Finland ecosystem covers all related sectors starting from defence, Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) i.e police, rescue, ambulance etc., critical infrastructure such as power utilities, transport and resource industries.
Further, it covers the entire critical communications value chain from end user, agencies, critical communication operator, public operators, integrators, network, device and accessory providers, application developers, training, planning and consulting.
The ecosystem seeks cooperation and exchange of best practises globally.
Unique leading edge experience
Benefit of being poor enough…
Back in the previous millenium various agency specific analogue public safety radio networks were coming to their end of life – in fact falling apart. Each agency requested funding for a replacement. This was rejected. Finland could only afford one network that had to be shared by all agencies.
Era of multiagency cooperation begins…
Nationwide digital TETRA radionetwork, Virve, roll-out was completed in the early years of 2000s. At first the user were the blue light organisations – police, fire and and ambulance – and defence. However, the benefits of being able to communicate and cooperate cross agancies became so overwhelming that all actors responsible for functioning society were invited to join including critical infrastructure and railways. This has expanded beyond national borders as Swedish and Norwegian public safety TETRA networks are cross-connected. Also joint command and control could be developed. Centralised Emergency Response Centre (ERC) takes calls and dispatches for all agencies in unified fashion throuhgout the nation. Field command system provides common situational awareness and joint preparedness process shares preparatory tasks prior to storms or other identified risks mitigating the impacts.
Transformation to information centric operation…
Currently, Virve 2, 4G/5G based service is being introduced. Group video service among other shift the operational model toward information centric operation. Experience how to build Mission Critical Broadband service is gained.
