TPG Telecom and Optus are set to trial the national Public Safety Mobile Broadband (PSMB) network to improve access to information for emergency service organisations.
The telecommunications providers will team up with network builder Nokia to create a proof-of-concept for the new PSMB.
According to the NSW government, which is backing the trial, existing land and mobile radio networks are unable to support heavy data traffic and web-based applications for emergency personnel.
