Information management systems

The PSCE Forum is a non-profit organisation in the field of communication technologies for public authorities and blue-light organisations (police, fire, and rescue). As a European platform, PSCE brings together research, industry, and users to harmonise public safety requirements and promote the development of communication and information management systems.

By networking and bringing together these three key stakeholder groups, the PSCE Forum aims to create awareness of the different needs and to further develop innovative technologies for the European economy. As Chair of the Industry Committee, Charlotte Rösener brings her broad knowledge and development expertise to this, as she has also shown in her involvement in the European H2020 research and investment procurement programme BroadWay.

Broadband communication system

In the context of the programme, the Frequentis-led consortium ‘BroadPort’ successfully demonstrated a prototype for a pan-European broadband communication system to the technical validation committee in April 2021.

Important topics in the work of the PSCE are the end-to-end communication solutions in the future replacement of digital radio by 4G/5G-based, safety-critical broadband communication (MCX). "The skilful use of new technologies supports the paradigm shift in the field of public safety, based on increased digitalisation," says Charlotte Rösener. "The PSCE activities are intended to promote product solutions that become a success story for both providers and users."
