Question 191: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, as a matter of policy, An Garda Síochána have a preference, taking into consideration security issues, for wired broadband services over wireless broadband service providers for the use of the PULSE system, in the event that the WAN system is unavailable in a particular station; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am informed by Garda Authorities that any broadband service used to carry PULSE data must satisfy stringent security requirements in keeping with Garda IT and Communications Security policies. An Garda Síochána have no preference for wired over wireless broadband services provided the broadband service provider can meet these requirements.
