About the speakers
Giovanni Guidotti graduated with Honors in Electrical Engineering at the University of Bologna in 1979. He started his activities in Telettra, in the field of digital communications for defence applications. In 1987 he spent a 6 months period at the University of California as Research Visitor, and in the following years he also acted as government expert in NATO and EUROCOM technical groups. Next, he moved to Alcatel as responsible of developments in the area of Radio Relays, PDH and SDH communications, DVB-T, and then to Telit as Technical Director, working on IP based GSM Systems and GSM-R terminals.
In 2001 he joined Selex Communications, working in the area of military, professional and civil telecommunications. From 2011 up to 2015 all companies of the Finmeccanica Group have been merged into a single company, named Leonardo, where he is now the Chief Technical Officer of the Security & Information Division, working in the field of Mission Critical Communications, Physical and Cyber Security, Air and Ground Transport Systems, Automation, Information Technology applications and services. He has published tens of technical papers and holds 10 patents, and has been teaching Project Management at the University of L’Aquila for several years.
Carla Miccinesi graduated in Electrical Engineering at the University of Firenze in 1985. She started her activities in SMA, in the field of radar systems for defence applications. Next, she moved to OTE in 1994 as responsible of Software Quality Configuration Management and then of System Validation in the area of professional and civil telecommunications (PMR private mobile radio), in particular working on FM analog, GSM and TETRA digital communication technologies. In 2000 she became responsible of Standards & Type Approval for OTE.
From 2011 up to 2015 all companies of the Finmeccanica Group have been merged into a single company, named Leonardo, where she is now responsible of Procedures & Regulation in the Chief Technical Officer of the Security & Information Systems Division, with specific competences on national, European and international regulatory and legislative requirements of the radio spectrum and equipment of Mission Critical Communications systems. She is the company representative in the national preparatory Committees on radio spectrum management and regulation of Italian Ministry of Economic Development - Communications, for EU/International Technical Committees (between others: ITU-R WRC, CEPT FM, CEPT ECC, RSC EU Committee, RSPG EU Committee, TCAM EU Committee, COCOM EU Committee, ETSI). She is ETSI (European Telecommunications Standard Institute, member of 3GPP) Contact Point for Leonardo and member of ETSI TCCE, ERM and other ETSI working groups, member of Italian Group ETSI; member of many CEPT WG and Member of TETRA & Critical Communications Association - Radio Spectrum Group.
She is Vice-Chairman of COMRAD/Radio Committee of ANITEC - ANITEC Industry Association - Confindustria Digitale (member of Digital Europe IA). Carla is member of Italian delegation in TCAM WG Committee (Telecommunications Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance WG) as industry expert for the Radio Equipment Directive (R, accredited by Italian Ministry of Economic Development, and she was an accredited member of Italian delegation at the World Radio Conferences WRC-07, WRC-12, WRC-15 of ITU-R.
Abstract
Telecommunications for Public Protection & Disaster Relief, and Critical National Infrastructures
Civil Protection, Protection of Critical Infrastructures, Disaster Relief, Large Events,… they are all based on communication, navigation and information technologies that have been specifically developed for that purpose, and that now tend to interoperate and integrate with consumer technologies. Present requirements and technical solutions will be analyzed, as well as possible evolutions towards integrated heterogeneous networks and 5G.
Spectrum Regulation and Harmonization for Public Protection & Disaster Relief, and Critical National Infrastructures
The spectrum management and regulation is a key issue for all communications systems and networks. In particular the applications for Public Protection & Disaster Relief and Critical Infrastructures need of harmonised spectrum allocation and technical conditions to interoperate and integrate with consumer technologies. After an introduction on the international, European and national spectrum regulation and organizations, the regulation of the narrowband and wideband PPDR networks currently in operation will be analyzed. Then the new spectrum regulation for the future broadband PPDR applications, based on the LTE 3GPP / 5G ecosystem, will be presented.
