Project Approach

BroadMap begins on the 1st May 2016 and will follow the steps as shown in the diagram below to develop specifications and transition roadmaps to provide the next generation of EU interoperable broadband Applications, Services, Networks and Devices :

Collect Requirements - from the wealth of existing studies
Validate Requirements - through consultation with end users through a series of workshops in each partner country
Establish a Core Set of Requirements - using the experience and knowledge in the team to translate the validated requirements to a set of specifications
Feedback to End User Stakeholders - A workshop will be held in Brussels in October 2016, open to the entire community of end users
Define Transition Roadmaps - Knowledge of existing systems and the specifications will be used to determine how transition to EU interoperable broadband applications, services, networks and devices will be achieved across Europe.
Feedback to the Entire Community - A workshop will be held in Brussels in April 2017, open to the entire stakeholder community

BroadMap will complete its work in April 2017. Our partnership will then continue to prepare towards a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) project will be subject to a further bidding phase with the European Commission. The PCP project is expected to formally procure gap-filling R&D activities on behalf of the end-user partnership with the aim to deliver the first prototypes of EU broadband interoperable applications, services, networks and devices.

BroadWay @ the 10th CoU meeting in Brussels

David Lund presented the BroadWay project during the “Procurement and Innovation” panel session as part of the 10th Community of User meeting on March 5th 2018 in Brussels.

Mr Lund described the progress made from the one-year BroadMap project, which represented the interests of 15 European countries and prepared the ground for a Pre-Commercial Procurement activity, to the BroadWay project, just validated by the European Commission to implement a pre-commercial procurement (PCP) to develop technologies to enable a pan-European interoperable broadband mobile system for public safety.

Through 5 different stories, the aim of the “Procurement and Innovation” session, was to provide an insight on the new instruments for the acquisition of innovation, identify the strengths and weaknesses of such instruments from the perspective of both sides of the market, identify success stories under the frame of EU funded research and innovation framework and, finally, to propose lines of action for the improvement of the market uptake of security research and innovation outcomes.

BroadMap Final Deliverable now Available!

We are happy to announce that the Transition Roadmap and Pre-Commercial procurement specification of the BroadMap project is now publicly available.

The European Commission-funded BroadMap project ended earlier this year and marked a first step towards the establishment of a Pan-European Interoperable Broadband Public Safety Communication Network. Gathering PPDR organisations from 15 European countries, this one-year project successfully delivered a core set of specifications to be used for procuring innovative solutions for broadband communication systems.

The final deliverable is available here

BroadMap Presented at Latest PSRG Meeting in Copenhagen

Manfred Blaha had the opportunity to present the BroadMap project and introduce the plan for the PSCE-led proposal to the European Commissions SEC-04-DRS2017 call, purchasing innovative Broadband solutions and pilot systems for Europe's Public Safety Organisations to the "Public Safety Radiocommunications Group" meeting in Copenhagen.

BroadMap Final Stakeholders' Workshop: The start of a journey towards interoperable broadband radio communication systems for public safety and security

Mission accomplished for the EU-funded flagship project taking the first step towards future procurement of interoperable next generation of broadband radio communication systems for public safety and security!

The Success Story of BroadMap: First Step towards Interoperable Radio Communication Systems for Public Safety and Security in Europe

The EU flagship project BroadMap is coming to an end now. The one-year project, which started back in May 2016, has gathered Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) organisations from 15 European countries (Member States and associated countries) to work together to establish a common roadmap for future evolution of EU PPDR radio communications.
