Jason Day, Deputy Director of DRONERESPONDERS, joins CCT to discuss how drone technology is transforming public safety operations, from search and rescue and disaster response to securing some of the world’s largest events. 

Drawing on decades of experience in aviation and his work helping to build one of the largest public safety UAS programmes in the US, Jason explains how drones are now being integrated into complex, layered airspace alongside helicopters, aircraft and commercial drone operations.

With the FIFA World Cup bringing huge crowds across multiple US host cities, the conversation explores the role drones and counter-UAS technology will play in protecting stadiums, fan festivals, training sites and other major gathering points.

Recorded at Critical Communications World, this episode looks at how drones have moved from emerging technology to an increasingly vital part of modern public safety operations.

Jason Day: How drones are transforming public safety and securing the FIFA World Cup

How are artificial intelligence, next-generation emergency calling systems and cross-border cooperation shaping the future of emergency response?

In this episode of the Critical Communications Today Podcast, host Philip Mason speaks with Benoit Vivier, Public Affairs Director at the European Emergency Number Association (EENA), at Critical Communications World (CCW).

Benoit discusses EENA's work to improve emergency response across Europe and beyond, highlighting the importance of connecting emergency calling systems with the critical communications networks used by first responders.

The conversation explores the development of the EU Critical Communication System (EUCCS), the evolution of Next Generation 112, and the need for greater interoperability between countries, including the UK's ongoing role in European emergency communications.

They also examine the growing role of artificial intelligence in emergency call centres, from real-time translation and transcription to noise reduction and dispatch support, alongside the practical, ethical and regulatory challenges of implementing these technologies.

Benoit Vivier: AI and the Future of Emergency Response

CCT speaks with Brad Morell, Director for Network Technology Operations and International Engagement at the First Responder Network Authority, and Mathew Walsh, Head of Public Safety Product at AT&T, about the evolution of FirstNet and the future of public safety communications.

Brad reflects on his three decades in public safety, including his experiences around the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympics and the response to 9/11, and how communications failures helped drive the creation of a nationwide dedicated broadband network for first responders.

Together, Brad and Mathew discuss the partnership behind FirstNet, the continuing challenge of interoperability, the importance of international collaboration, and how technologies including IoT and AI could help make communications increasingly seamless for emergency services.

Ultimately, their ambition is simple: first responders should be able to focus on the incident in front of them, while the technology they rely on simply works.

Brad Morell & Mathew Walsh: Building the Future of Public Safety Communications

What will the next generation of mission-critical communications look like — and how can networks work seamlessly across borders?

In this episode of the CCT Podcast, host Philip Mason is joined by Ultan Mulligan, Chief Services Officer at ETSI, and Ari Toivonen, Chair of ETSI TC CCS and Chief Specialist at Erillisverkot, to discuss ETSI’s newly established Technical Committee on Critical Communications Systems.

Recorded at Critical Communications World, the conversation explores the move towards mission-critical broadband and 5G-based systems, the continuing role of TETRA, and the work required to create interoperable communications between countries.

They also discuss the relationship between ETSI and 3GPP, the importance of testing and certification, lessons from cross-border TETRA deployments in the Nordic countries, and why EUCCS could help create a more consistent critical communications ecosystem across Europe and beyond.

For emergency services and other critical users, the ultimate ambition is straightforward: when networks and people need to work together, the technology should simply work.
