Setting new standards in public safety

From airport staff to ambulance crews, fire services to police officers, mass mobilization of specialist public-facing services calls for a single, more secure and multimedia-capable service. Cue Samsung 3GPP standard compliant solutions, ready to meet the demands of mission critical communication.

One, unified network

Different emergency services usually employ different technology and networks across different frequencies. Yet, situations which involve multiple emergency services call for unified communication. Using a single technology and frequency band, combined with legacy radio services such as TETRA, P25, Public Safety LTE means delivering reliable and efficient communication when it’s needed most.

Multimedia capability

Emergency response teams work at great speed. But previous Public Safety networks could only support voice or limited data communication. Samsung Public Safety LTE transfers high volumes of data instantly, enabling image and video sharing when it matters most. Even live streaming.

Emergency-ready devices

Mission-critical situations demand the toughest solutions. Public Safety LTE dedicated devices combine ruggedized protection with Push-to-Talk multicast functionality. Simultaneous connection of thousands of devices, at the touch of an in-built button, allows for instant sharing of video, images and voice for mass-scale co-ordinated communication.

Whenever mission critical communication is required, Public Safety LTE delivers.

Trigger incidents


When a major event triggers an emergency service reaction, any service from ambulance to the military can be called upon to respond. Each with their own orders and communication frequencies.

Communication breakdown potential

The inter-organization battle for bandwidth, plus sudden surges in civilian usage, puts networks under extreme pressure. Pressure that can lead to communication breakdowns.

An end-to-end solution

The Samsung solution isolates emergency service communications from civilian usage. It unifies all the disparate networks into one. And it creates a full solution of network and devices designed for use in extreme conditions by supporting priority, pre-emption and quality of service (QoS).

Rugged devices designed for disasters

Extreme situations need devices and operating systems fit for purpose. Samsung Public Safety LTE devices are Push-to-Talk, data and even video ready, instantly connecting with thousands of same network devices for seamless, mass communication. Purpose-built for mission critical environments, Samsung Public Safety LTE devices can withstand water, dust, drops and knocks with IP68 and MIL-STD 810G/810H grade ratings*.

* IP68 rating means that the device is protected against harmful ingress of dust and static fresh water at up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes, under certain defined test conditions. According to accredited test results, individual results may vary. Note: IP68 rating does not mean that the device is waterproof.
* These devices passed U.S. military specification (MIL-STD-810G for the Galaxy XCover Pro, Galaxy Tab Active Pro, MIL-STD-810H for the Galaxy Tab Active3 – Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests is a United States Military Standard) testing against a subset of 21 and 23 specific environmental conditions, respectively, including temperature, dust, shock/vibration, and low pressure/high altitude. Real world usage varies from the specific environmental conditions used in MIL-STD-810G/MIL-STD-810H testing. Samsung does not guarantee device performance in all extreme conditions.

Incident-ready infrastructure



Base stations. A virtualized core. An excellent virtualized PTT server. Samsung Public Safety LTE can support hundreds of thousands of users at once. And while unifying emergency services is the primary purpose, the core also provides private, independent networks to different responding services.
