The increasing use of broadband applications by first responders to augment existing mission-critical voice and narrowband data services is catalysing a focus on the quality of ‘mission-critical’ applications. Unlike consumer apps, mission-critical apps need to achieve end-to-end mission-critical quality of service (QoS) levels in terms of priority, pre-emption, availability, security and resilience. This means that their successful deployment and management is a complex task. A new advisory white paper from TCCA looks at the key considerations that must be taken into account when developing and deploying true mission-critical applications, with the emphasis on the user experience being of paramount importance.
