Challenges
Systems consolidation and efficiency

Where the communications systems of the emergency services have grown organically over a number of years there is now a pressing need for integration. By combining voice and data networks, via an IP network based infrastructure, considerable cost savings can be made and the deployment of a much wider set of applications is possible. Examples of cost saving include using VoIP over internal networks rather than breaking out to the PSTN network when calling between offices in the same organisation. Systems consolidation will become even more pertinent with the planned merger of Fire authorities.
