Airwave invited to contribute to SALUS PPDR research project

Airwave accepted an invitation to participate in SALUS, a 36-month targeted research project funded by the European Union, Framework Program 7, put in place to design, develop and validate the next generation Public Protection and Disaster Recovery (PPDR) network.

“Using our public safety knowledge and expertise, Airwave will be able to influence the direction of public safety communications of the future whilst at the same time work with other industry leaders and academic experts in this vital area of communications,” says Euros Evans, Airwave CTO.

The SALUS project brings together a consortium of global corporations, operators, SMEs and PPDR users, together with renowned research organisations and universities who have a proven record in contributing to scientific developments in the industry.

“We will contribute intelligence based on our significant understanding of the exacting operational and service requirements of public safety customers for their critical voice and data communications. Our input will ensure that the scenarios and case studies accurately reflect the requirements of the PPDR communities today and into the future,” concludes Euros.
