Looking to the future for secure communications
Looking way into the future namely 2012 and the Olympics. It will be an exciting time for the United Kingdom and I am sure will pull the British people together, uniting to ensure that our Olympics will be the best ever in this prestigious International event. The world will be looking at the UK and expecting great things. Of course Security will be of major importance and all three Emergency Services will be under intense scrutiny, especially if there is an incident. A huge amount of preparation is taking place to ensure the Emergency Services are ready for any contingency and BAPCO is playing a major role. Because we represent the communications arena across Fire, Ambulance and Police, we are identifying critical issues where we can assist in a positive way and ensure our communications systems deliver against any requirement.
Suppliers appreciate their responsibilities in this area and are endeavouring to understand Emergency service requirements in order to maximise and develop existing systems together with new initiatives. This I am sure will be the subject of much debate over the next five years. Our April BAPCO Conference and Exhibition will feature some of the latest innovative thinking to take us forward with confidence.
