The 20th Critical Communications World has attracted the professional user community to Berlin this week, for the industry’s top conference and exhibition. Both ETSI and 3GPP leaders joined 3GPP market partner TCCA at the exhibition, on the awards program and speaking at the conference.

Erik Guttman and Georg Mayer spoke on the 3GPP MC topic, highlighting recent enhancements to Mission Critical Push-to-talk (MCPTT), MCVideo and MCData as well as looking forward to 5G future work.

At the International Critical Communications Awards (ICCA 2018), on the first evening of CCW, we presented a glass trophy to the TCCA in recognition of their 20 years of work, through the TETRA Congresses and the CCW conference series.

A stalwart of SA6 and the TETRA communities – Dave Chater-Lea – was also a winner at ICCA, receiving the Industry’s award for an ‘Outstanding Contribution to Critical Communications’.
