This ecosystem will be used as a testbed to examine specific frequency blocks that will inform a decision on future frequency use in the Irish public service. Comreg (The Irish telecommunications regulator) has identified a number of possible frequency options for this purpose and the OGCIO has agreed to trial a number of options. This ecosystem will also be used as part of Irelandโ€™s co-ordinated participation in the Broadway European Public Safety network.
