Peter Clemons gave a presentation on critical communications moving from 2G to 5G. He discussed the current state of 2G, 3G, 4G networks and how public safety networks are evolving from technologies like TETRA to LTE. He argued that the transition to 5G will be a long process requiring testing and stakeholder input to ensure public safety needs are met. Clemons proposed the formation of a Global Critical Alliance and Global Critical Index to help guide the industry towards best practices in enabling critical communications as new network technologies develop.

For the past 30 years or so, critical communications users around the globe have had access to highly reliable, secure, mainly voice-centric mobile radiocommunications solutions. As Full 5G comes ever closer, we are in the process of developing & delivering the mission-critical communications platform that will serve our community - & wider society - for the next 30 years. We must move forward steadfastly in a more agile, collaborative way to deliver next-generation services & applications, many of which we can barely manage today. Failure is not an option!
The public safety & critical communications community is on a decade-long journey from ultra-reliable 2G solutions (TETRA/P25) to ultra-reliable 5G solutions (eURLLC). The Quixoticity Index is a new powerful tool to explain this process to a global audience

Quixoticity index 2018 comms connect final slides - revisedPeter Clemons
The critical communications industry/community is on a long journey from the ultra-reliable, low-latency voice & short data-centric solutions of 2010 towards the fully-developed 5G URLLC solutions of 2030. The challenge our relatively niche community faces is to make sure our full needs & requirements & those of our wider societies are included in the 5G roadmap. Quixoticity Index - focusing on mission-critical improvements to 5G that help societies & economies achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - is a response to this need & is intended to inform & guide our industry/community on our journey to a better, smarter, safer world by 2030

Today’s TV consumer is a highly demanding one. Not only do they want to watch video on any number of screens - from a 50” flat panel to an iPad to the smartphone in their pockets - they want to find, recommend and view TV content using new software frameworks being made available on new connected devices. This coming explosion in software-centric viewing, sharing and consumption will change the digital living room forever. Long standing norms around content discovery, interaction and monetization will change dramatically in coming years.
This is the (slightly modified) presentation that I gave to the US Telecom Association on April 25th, 2013.

Satellite Connectivity will make The Internet of Things (IoT) Really WorkKymeta Corporation
The biggest challenge with IoT is getting connected where LTE cellular coverage is not available. The real promise of IoT is truly connecting devices, vehicles and people. With satellite connectivity, connecting everything that moves - even in remote and rural environments becomes possible. Connecting people to data and information whether in agriculture, construction, mining or in healthcare for telemedicine and in bringing education to a global audience Kymeta is bringing a new satellite technology to market that will allow IoT to connect everything everywhere.

Moving towards the 5G Era
• We genuinely appear to be on the cusp of significant societal change
• We appear to be reaching the limits of the current Model
• Proliferation of crises
• Increased complexity of the systems we depend on
• Is technology the problem or the solution?
• Are we on the verge of:
– the mother of all depressions?
– a new Golden Age (5G Era)?
• Answers on a digital postcard, please!

What is 5G?
• We’ve had 2G, 3G & 4G, so now it’s time for 5G

• 5G is an opportunity – 5G is also real – but only if we are prepared to face up to
uncomfortable truths about where we have come from & where we are going
• What will be 5G’s iPhone moment?? Something related to critical communications??
26. www.comms-connect.co.nzwww.comms-connect.co.nz@CommsConnectANZ
Critical communications at the edge
• Coverage, availability, reliability
• Government Universal Service Obligation
• Is connectivity a basic human right?
• Reversal of privatisation? (New economy)
• New forms of Public-private partnerships (PPP)
• Truly mobile networks? Body area sensor networks (IEEE)
• Revolution or evolution? (Technical or social?)
• Military grade > civilian grade?
• Who can deliver the universal coverage that 5G Era will demand?
• Laws of physics, laws of nature & human laws working together
• Past-in-the-present, present-in-the –present & future-in-the-present
• The end of an either-or mentality?
27. www.comms-connect.co.nzwww.comms-connect.co.nz@CommsConnectANZ
2G to 5G – how many steps?
• As many as needed – a long & winding road
• Test, test & test again
• Lots & lots of moving parts
• We must get “5G Era” right
• All stakeholders must be properly consulted
• Sensible time-lines without limiting ambition
• Government accountability & safety nets
• We will intuitively know/feel if we get it right or wrong
• Exciting new technologies that need to interconnect to create future society
“Dad, are we there yet?”
28. www.comms-connect.co.nzwww.comms-connect.co.nz@CommsConnectANZ
Global Critical Alliance
• Focus on “critical communications” past, present & future
• A global solution to a global problem
• Start small, stay nimble
• Target global “5G Era” suppliers to explain the importance of “mission-critical”
• Playing the long game
• Not competing against existing bodies; search for best practice & education of
authorities & key decision-makers
• Background work under way – further announcements during 2016 (maybe even as
early as Critical Communications World in Amsterdam?)
• All suggestions welcome – pressure from real users will be key
29. www.comms-connect.co.nzwww.comms-connect.co.nz@CommsConnectANZ
Global Critical Index
• Quixoticity’s main “top secret” research focus at the moment
• Need to rank public safety authorities globally
• Need to rank global suppliers in the move of critical communications from 2G > 5G
• Definitely not just about “Citius, Altius, Fortius”
• Smarter, sustainable, common sense, best-practice strategies
• Encourage innovation in new community models based on security, integration,
interoperability, cooperation & funding
• I haven’t talked to Paul yet, but CommsConnect Melbourne in November might be a
good time for launch!
• Once again, all suggestions welcome – input from real users will be key
30. www.comms-connect.co.nzwww.comms-connect.co.nz@CommsConnectANZ
The pursuit of best practice
• Each region is different
• Each country is different
• Global standards implemented locally
• As broad a vision as possible
• No limits to ambition – intergenerational interaction
• As many experiences/scenarios as possible
• Critical thinking
• Lots of data – big data – data analytics
• Ask the right questions in the first place
• Make sure you understand what you are measuring
• Qualitative data as important as quantitative data
31. www.comms-connect.co.nzwww.comms-connect.co.nz@CommsConnectANZ
The importance of common sense
• We must never lose sight of basic needs
• Public safety
• The common good
• Cohesive society
• Representative Government
• An innate sense of right & wrong; true & false
• 5G Era/digital age must be about transparency & accountability
32. www.comms-connect.co.nzwww.comms-connect.co.nz@CommsConnectANZ
The beginning of a new time
• “Digital” will change our global society & economy
• Don’t be afraid of change, embrace it…
• …but not change for change’s sake!
• It will take longer than many think…
• & have wider consequences than any of us can possibly imagine
• “The king is dead; long live the king.”
• Don’t believe everything a consultant tells you…
• STAY YOUNG AT HEART, STAY QUIXOTIC!
