The Airwave network has for many years formed part of the UK critical national infrastructure, used by 43 police forces in England, Scotland and Wales, along with other critical services, Fire & Ambulance. The home office approved replacement service “Emergency Services Network” (ESN) will not be brought into service for a considerable period which has led the manufacturer, Motorola to introduce an interim solution called “Dispatch Communication Server” (DCS) as an immediate replacement for the existing Airwave solution. As Airwave is a critical national infrastructure, NWP is required to perform an IT Health Check, demonstrate compliance, and maintain accreditation from PDS / Home office for the current Airwave DCS service.
