Abstract

One example Land Mobile Radio (LMR) base station includes a network interface and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive profile information of a plurality of fifth generation (5G)/Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication devices. The profile information of the plurality of 5G/LTE communication devices may be transmitted (i) over a background gateway communication channel to an LMR communication network that includes the LMR base station and (ii) in response to the 5G/LTE software defined network detecting a fault condition of the first 5G/LTE communication network. The electronic processor is further configured to broadcast a capture beacon based on the profile information and compliant with at least some characteristics of a 5G/LTE communication protocol. The capture beacon is configured to be received by the 5G/LTE communication device to reconfigure the 5G/LTE communication device for communication compliant with an LMR communication protocol.
