onssystem und vieles mehr. In dem Mitte 2008 eröffneten Apple Store werden mehr als 140.000 Anwendungen online angeboten. Die Bandbreite dieser Anwendungen reicht von der Wettervorhersage, über Verkehrsinformationen und Börsenkurse bis hin zu der Möglichkeit,Musikstücke herunter zu laden. Für beinahe jede Fragestellung gibt es eine Applikation. Bei der Fülle dieser Anwendungsmöglichkeiten wird deutlich, dass der Digitalfunk hinsichtlich der Personalisierung und Flexibilität schon längst nicht mehr wettbewerbsfähig sein kann. Das Kriterium der Verschlüsselung und auch der Zuverlässigkeit sind beim Digitalfunk police and rescue services, with each other and together with other emergency services, play a crucial role. In the past, emergency services were managed mostly from control centres and consisted of a telephone system, a dispatcher and the necessary maps. Police, fire brigade and other rescue services usually had their own control centres which worked independent of each other. Currently, this system is changing. The individual police control centres and the fire brigade and rescue services are being increasingly combined into mixed control centres; as well, the previous area of local responsibility is being gradually expanded from urban into rural regions. This process is resulting in clear increases in efficiency. However, the prerequisite for this are considerable technical adjustments and a different management philosophy. As a result of the use of PDAs (personal digital assistants), the efficiency of rescue personnel on-the-job can be increased by up to 50 per cent. Patient data and forms can be provided online via the mobile digital radio network such as that of Airwave in England. These management systems also require geographical information systems, jedoch gewährleistet und gerade in Krisenzeiten und im Ernstfall wird man davon ausgehen können, dass der Digitalfunk einwandfrei interoperabel funktionieren kann.
