The controversial Emergency Services Network (ESN), initially contracted in 2015, has faced significant delays and cost overruns, prompting a reassessment of its technology partners.
The UK Home Office's Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme aims to replace the well-liked Airwave network and is now under new oversight by Minister Diana Johnson.
An investigation by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority into Motorola Solutions highlights the complexities of transitioning to the new ESN and maintaining essential services.
The government had anticipated ending Airwave by 2019; now, with ongoing delays and reevaluation, the timeline and budget for the ESN remain uncertain.
