Liking the bottom left hand corner pic in particular.

Enjoying the #BAPCOSatelliteSeries in the famous St James' Park #Newcastle. Always a pleasure to catch up with public safety colleagues, hear the latest industry news, including the all important #ESN update!

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

@BlackMarble's tuServ is a serious piece of kit. It also features - when requested - augmented reality bouncing elephants. #BAPCOSatelliteSeries

@ExcelerateGroup's very swish connected vehicle has miraculously appeared in the main auditorium of #BAPCOSatelliteSeries Newcastle @MattWroughton

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

User assurance session partly focussed on the imminent roll-out of coverage solution #ESN Assure, which can be viewed on the ESN stand. No pic, but we can confirm it exists. #BAPCOSatelliteSeries #ESMCP

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

We've already had an interesting panel session focussing on #ESN user confidence, featuring Steve Whatson, Lucy Baker and Simon McCutcheon from #ESMCP, EE and Motorola Solutions respectively.

Hello from the second day of #BAPCOSatelliteSeries in Newcastle.

[John Anthony @JohnAnthonyMBE]

Congratulations Anne, worthy of a mention here today in Newcastle at #BAPCOSatelliteSeries

Becca - Core product, ESN Prime (which will "meet the most stringent of user requirements"), planned to be available from mid 2020, with full roll-out completed by the middle of 2023. #BAPCOSatelliteSeries #ESN

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

Device to device - proof of concept demonstration of 4G LTE ProSe was held in October. "If ProSe is not acceptable or available in the timescales which we require it, there will be an alternative solution. Possibly based on TETRA direct mode." #BAPCOSatelliteSeries #ESN

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

Re possible solutions for emergency services aircraft - "Ground based 4G coverage might prove to be adequate for the heights to which the aircraft operate. Maybe, we don't don't need an expensive air to ground network." #ESN #BAPCOSatelliteSeries

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

Becca Jones -
"Incremental delivery now sits at the heart of ESN delivery," the uptake of which should 'de-risk' the technology. #BAPCOSatelliteSeries

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

#ESN will now progress based on standardisation, using commercial, off the shelf tech. Decision was in part made in light of Motorola's purchase of Kodiak. "We started out with technology which was the best that was available, but was pre-standards."

#BAPCOSatelliteSeries

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

Ok, so... Discussing the delay to #ESN, and the recent review - and the fact that it was genuinely in peril - Becca said: "The review really didn't pull any punches. There was a point this year when I genuinely thought the programme might be closed." #BAPCOSatelliteSeries

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

Comprehensive #ESN update delivered by the programme's customer engagement director Becca Jones to kick off today and tomorrow's BAPCO satellite event in Newcastle. Hence the following litany of tweets... #BAPCOSatelliteSeries

[Critical Communications Today magazine @CritCommsToday]

Second day of #CCMENA well under way. Think it would be fair to say that Dubai police have done us proud with their demo vehicles.

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

The future direction of #ESN is gradually becoming clearer...

[Land Mobile magazine @Land_Mobile]

#ESN's new direction: three extra years for Airwave, incremental delivery #ESMCP @MotoSolutions @ukhomeoffice https://t.co/WZyVWPFtUz

Sarah Vant on MAIT - "It has huge potential to revolutionise the way people work, but we [organisations] need to do it first." #ESS2018

@MottMacDonald

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

@MottMacDonald's Helen Shapcott and Sarah Vant finished off the @emergencyukshow Technology Theatre programme with a discussion of MAIT (Multi agency incident transfer).

#ESS2018

[BAPCO_Journal @BAPCO_Journal]

The cartoon vehicle in previous tweet could easily be @northantsfire's new incident command unit, which we covered in the Journal a couple of issues ago, with comms kitted-out by @ExcelerateGroup
