Zetron’s Randy Richmond Talks Mission Critical Push-to-Talk at Comms Connect 2020

By: Kimberly Kapustein

Comms Connect Melbourne is perennially Australia’s go-to source for thought leadership on mission critical communications, providing an opportunity to meet and hear from hundreds of like-minded radio and communications users and industry professionals annually. This year’s event, as so many others have, went virtual as a result of the global pandemic.

In addition to serving as a panelist during this year’s virtual event, Zetron’s Randy Richmond also delivered a video presentation, titled “Answering 5 Important Questions About integrating Mission Critical PTT with Control Rooms,” as part of the conference track on Private LTE – ensuring there is coverage, capacity and control for the private LTE network of the future.

Randy’s presentation explains how the new global Mission Critical LTE standards are no longer the future, but rather the here and now. Ready to be deployed for voice, video and data applications to aid critical infrastructure users, including those in public safety, utilities, transportation, and other markets.

View the on demand presentation to learn more about how critical infrastructure control rooms integrate with LTE networks (private, commercial or national) and are making use of Mission Critical LTE Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) in the broadband migration from narrowband Land Mobile Radio (LMR).

Your Control Room Doesn’t Need Replacing. It Needs Preparing.

For years, conversations about control room technology have centred on replacement.

Replacing legacy systems. Replacing networks. Replacing infrastructure.

Today, that conversation is changing.

The control room has evolved more in the last five years than it did in the previous twenty. Emergency services are responding to increasing demand, more complex incidents and greater public expectation, while preparing for one of the biggest technology transitions in a generation through the Emergency Services Network (ESN).

Managing Risk, Vulnerability and Demand: The Growing Importance of THRIVE

Every call into a police control room matters. But not every call carries the same level of threat, harm or risk. As police forces continue to face growing demand, increasingly complex incidents and ongoing resource pressures, the ability to quickly assess and prioritise calls has never been more important. That’s why THRIVE has become such a fundamental part of modern policing.

THRIVE, which stands for Threat, Harm, Risk, Investigation, Vulnerability and Engagement, provides a structured framework that helps call handlers and dispatchers assess incidents consistently and make informed decisions about the most appropriate response.

Your Zetron. Your Way.

The pressure to modernize emergency communications is real and growing. Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) migration, Text-to-9-1-1, GIS-based location services, integrated workflows and automation across call taking, computer aided dispatch (CAD) and dispatch, are no longer aspirational — they are operational expectations.

At the same time, agencies face staffing shortages, budget constraints, evolving funding opportunities and growing demands on telecommunicators and dispatch teams, all of which can impact modernization efforts.

Your Zetron, Your Way is about giving our customer choice and partnering in a way that builds a path forward that respects their infrastructure, budget cycles and operational realities.

Police.AI: turning national ambition into operational reality

Police.AI represents one of the most significant shifts in policing in a generation.

Backed by more than £115 million in funding and positioned at the centre of the Government’s Police Reform White Paper, it signals a clear move away from fragmented innovation towards a nationally coordinated, technology enabled policing model.
