Interoperability

What is Interoperability?

​​Every day, events occur in communities across Minnesota that require a public safety response.  Without a reliable network of interoperable emergency communications systems (voice & data), the response to these events can suffer. The ability of emergency responders to communicate between and across disciplines, agencies and jurisdictions is critical to establishing command and control.  

Reliable, timely, and interoperable communications (voice and data) amongst and between Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), emergency responders, and community members is a vital component to the effective delivery of public safety services, and in many cases, saving lives.​
