MCT 2018 Recap: A Holistic Approach to Mission-Critical Tech

MCT 2018 Recap: A Holistic Approach to Mission-Critical Tech

Mission Critical Technologies 2018 launched its inaugural edition at ExCel Centre during London Tech Week. Where many industry events center around a narrow set of communications topics, MCT 2018 embraced a holistic approach that cut across the compelling emerging technologies of the day.

Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk: Will Critical Communications World Show the Way?

Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk: Will Critical Communications World Show the Way?

Moving emergency services workers from trusted professional mobile radio systems to emerging mission-critical LTE networks requires a solution for out-of-range communications. Why is this problem top-of-mind for so many visitors to Critical Communications World and what might they find at the exhibition?

LTE MCPTT Direct Mode Conundrum, Does the UK Have the Answer?

LTE MCPTT Direct Mode Conundrum, Does the UK Have the Answer?

Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) is a vital element of future LTE-based critical communications systems. The industry has made tremendous progress producing clients and systems that work. But effective direct device-to-device communications is an extraordinarily important requirement that remains out-of-reach. With the clock ticking to shutdown of its legacy emergency services PTT network, the UK is now forced to embrace a "Plan B". Is this the answer for the rest of the world?
