1. A communication system, comprising:
- a set of communication devices formed of public safety communication devices and non-public safety communication devices, the set of communication devices linked together for an interconnected peer to peer network, the linked communication devices supporting a sharing of public safety information and status information via a safety net application implemented by each of the communication devices and that controls the delivery of safety information to and from the linked communication devices, wherein the sharing comprises a sharing, by the communication devices with each other via the peer to peer network, of information comprising one or more of functionality of the communication devices, event information, and contextual data associated with the event, and the safety net application automatically arranging for information to be sent to a most appropriate communication device and to a most appropriate user interface element of the communication device based on the information shared by the set of communication devices via the peer to peer network.

Abstract
A communication system (100) provides collaboration between narrowband communication devices (102) and broadband communication devices (104) operating over different networks. The communication devices (102, 104) are linked to provide peer-to-peer communication that supports the dissemination of public safety information to a public safety personnel user utilizing the devices. Applications within the devices (102, 104) automatically control features amongst the plurality of devices for redundancy of critical information, removal of non-critical information and power management. Context information can also be examined and shared between amongst the devices.
