Video is one of the most promising and versatile technologies for improving operational efficiency and effectiveness for first responders. Video is now widely considered as a significant capability to improve safety, coordination, collaboration, and quality decision-making, particularly during high stakes, end-user operational scenarios.
A new white paper from TCCA explores what public safety agencies and operators need to consider to successfully deploy video services supporting mission-critical operations, especially where the scale of its usage is considered ‘massive’. This term describes situations where the amount of video could potentially saturate network resources, if not appropriately managed. The overall objective is to ensure that first responders and public safety agencies (and by implication other critical communication sectors) can use video effectively and for operational benefit.

That perception is increasingly outdated: the region’s technology economy is seeing significant growth, with a sharp rise in mobile services penetration, innovative public-private partnerships, and investments in information and communications technology (ICT) leading the way. The World Trade Organization (WTO) even projects that African digital service exports could reach around $74 billion between 2023 and 2040, with annual growth exceeding 7%.

Keeping networks up – whatever the weather
Africa is full of variations of climate and geography. From the Sahara Desert to the Atlas Mountains and the Nile Valley, although 61% of the population is focused mostly in urban areas, the rest are based in rural regions where fibre is either not available or patchy in coverage.
At a time when the digital society is commonplace and the ability to access important online services such as finance, health and governance is a fundamental need, reliable broadband connectivity is essential.
