Public safety analytics gateway

Abstract

A public safety analytics gateway includes a front-end processor configured to communicate with a network gateway and a public safety enterprise server and a data collector in communication with the front-end processor, wherein the front-end processor is configured to receive public safety data from the public service enterprise server and forward the public safety data to both the network gateway and the data collector. A method includes setting key performance indicator thresholds for use of a network by public safety-first responder devices, determining a baseline network usage profile, monitoring the key performance indicators in view of the baseline network usage profile, and prioritizing network resource allocations for the first responder devices over network resource allocations for non-first responder based on the monitoring step.
