Innovation Lab
The Innovation Lab provides a one-of-a-kind, innovative research lab and network that accelerates next-generation communications technology development and adoption. We optimize a fast, reliable, and secure network platform with advanced testing capabilities to support all PSCR and CTL-wide communications research.
The Innovation Lab was recently formed at PSCR as a synchronization of advanced research equipment, core network services, testing systems integration, and security research into a cohesive portfolio. By supporting the telecommunications lab and full suite of capabilities, the Innovation Lab team is also able to perform research on the cutting-edge solutions as they are implemented and managed, while also documenting innovative security enhancements.
Innovation Lab Portfolio Mission:
To optimize the only federal government cutting edge telecommunications lab and network that supports research and development to advance public safety communications technologies.
Innovation Lab Portfolio Vision:
To serve as a leading communications research lab enhancing Public Safety’s communications capabilities and cybersecurity through innovation and collaboration.
Featured Project
The creation of a public safety-specific Federated Identity Credential and Access Management (ICAM) is a solution which addresses the unique requirements of First Responders. Benefits include: accelerating the incorporation of proper security for other tech that is being developed and implemented; providing a secure foundation for interoperability; and allowing agencies to keep their current IdP while still realizing the benefits of federation
