Conference Programme 2026

Modern software-defined radio systems are enabling new multi-bearer modes of operation, where voice and data can be routed across 4G, 5G, satellite, WiFi, or dedicated radio networks- either simultaneously or dynamically based on performance, resilience, and cost. Drawing on recent integration work for Search and Rescue applications, Nova Systems’ experts will examine what these advances make possible for future emergency communications, and the considerations involved in testing and deploying such systems safely and effectively. This emerging capability has significant potential to enhance interoperability, coverage and operational flexibility.

The session will introduce a rapidly developing technological area that will require support across the sector to realise its full impact on public safety, security, and life-saving operations.
