For first responders such as police, fire and ambulance, the ability to access reliable communications is crucial to successfully managing emergencies. Around the world, public authorities are transitioning their mission critical communications networks and devices from legacy technologies such as TETRA and P.25 to LTE. However, it is vitally important that the new technology can continue to offer the same assured high levels of reliability and interoperability as the existing services, as lives literally depend on having reliable communications. GCF has partnered with The Critical Communications Association (TCCA) to develop a certification solution for the mission critical industry that will provide this ongoing assurance. Mission critical devices certification is due to be launched in 2022.
