Flexible deployment

Agnet has flexible deployment options:

Private on-premises deployment is the best choice for public safety organizations as it matches their stringent security requirements and keeps control in their own hands.
Public cloud deployment is ideal for critical industries and enterprises seeking a modern, secure, and easy-to-use end-to-end solution.
Hybrid cloud deployment is a mix of private and public. It allows organizations to decide where their applications operate and scale resources on demand.

Broadband

Agnet is fully compatible with 4G/LTE and future-proofed for 5G, providing reliable access to mission-critical services, such as multimedia messaging, data and location services.

Rich and abundant data capabilities can help make critical operations more efficient and deliver better situational awareness. Transition from 4G to 5G will further enable new ways for public safety and other professional organizations to manage incidents and emergencies.

Hybrid

Agnet supports different integration solutions, from tailored gateways to 3GPP-compliant Interworking Function (IWF). These enable seamless interoperability with your existing narrowband systems such as TETRA, Tetrapol, P25, DMR or analogue.

Hybrid model supported by Agnet delivers mission-critical reliability and broadband capabilities while enabling a smooth transition from narrowband to broadband. A stepwise transition minimizes risk and ensures an uninterrupted operational way of working during transitions.

Satellite

Agnet is designed for critical communications and offers secure and reliable connectivity over 4G/5G networks. However, backup connectivity may be needed in rural areas, for disaster relief or in case of temporary power outages impacting 4G/5G availability.

Agnet over Satcom offers added resilience, extended coverage, and capacity for uninterrupted field collaboration by supporting the use of deployable networks and satellite communications for connectivity.

Who is it for?

Public Safety

Public safety forces face complex threats and growing demands in urban environments. To effectively deal with these threats, public safety personnel, including police organizations, fire and rescue, and emergency medical health providers, need to enhance their efficiency and gain a comprehensive view of incidents to stay ahead of evolving risks.

With modern broadband capabilities, authorities can obtain a complete situational picture during incidents like a football match fire. A strong network is crucial to handle interactions between mission-critical users and managing vast amounts of critical data. Live video feeds enable field commanders to monitor spectators, traffic, and team members' physical condition. These advanced capabilities not only enhance the quality of care but also improve the efficiency and safety of public safety personnel by enabling seamless cooperation and communication.

Business-critical Industries

Globalization has increased the vulnerability of transportation, energy, and critical infrastructure companies to security breaches and cyber threats. The digitization of these industries and the abundance of data collected present challenges in protecting sensitive information and maintaining data privacy.

Agnet offers secure group and field collaboration solutions for business-critical and critical infrastructure users. These solutions support seamless operations and safeguard customer privacy.

Industries planning to deploy smart devices for fieldwork can greatly benefit from Agnet’s capabilities. With compatibility in both 4G and 5G networks, interoperability with narrowband systems, and support for satellite communications, Agnet ensures uninterrupted connectivity even in the most demanding of circumstances.

Customer Stories

French public safety organizations have relied on the nationwide radio communications networks (INPT and RUBIS) for their everyday operations since the 1990s. The new generation RRF (Réseau Radio du Futur – radio network of the future) will provide 4G/LTE broadband services, which will work seamlessly with existing narrowband services during the migration period. These new broadband capabilities will allow almost 300,000 public safety users to manage incidents and emergencies, as well as major diplomatic and sporting events in better ways.

Réseau Radio du Futur (RRF)

France’s pioneering project for security and emergency rescue forces

Finnish public safety organizations rely on Virve, the nationwide TETRA radio communications network, for their everyday operations. In 2018, Erillisverkot – the operator of the Virve network – initiated Virve 2, a program to deploy the next-generation mission-critical services based on 3GPP standards and 4G/5G technologies. Thanks to Agnet, these services will work seamlessly with existing narrowband services during the migration period. Users will also benefit from the rich ecosystem of devices and accessories, in a secure and controlled way.

Virve 2

Finland’s new generation public safety network

An EU-funded research project, BroadWay aimed to improve the cross-border communication and collaboration of European public safety authorities. Airbus led a consortium that successfully demonstrated two full-scale field tests of cross-border operations. Agnet’s mission-critical services gave first responders from 11 countries reliable access to voice, data, and video. This constituted a new achievement in cross-border communications. The next step, BroadNet, will further pave the way toward seamless cooperation across borders.

Keeping the city a safer place

The authorities in Mexico’s Quéretaro state are under constant pressure to keep a lid on crime. And like most authorities, Querétaro state sees communications as essential to its mission. It wants to build on the success of its existing nationwide IRIS Tetrapol network while implementing new, efficient capabilities through more advanced communications. A major part of realizing this ambition is the MXLINK service from Airbus. MXLINK is a Secure Mobile Virtual Network Operator (SMVNO) service incorporating the network capabilities of Red Compartida, Telcel, and AT&T.
