Abstract
This report summarizes discussions from the Mission Critical Voice Virtual Roundtable hosted by the Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in April 2024. PSCR convened 37 first responders and communications engineers from across the United States, representing diverse public safety disciplines. Discussions focused on the current state of mission-critical voice communications, challenges faced by first responders, and the transition to and integration of new technologies. The report also details subsequent deep-dive conversations with an expanded set of first responders at the 5x5 Public Safety Innovation Summit, held in June 2024.Citation
