📢 NEW: GCF announces certification of Broadband Mission Critical Services
The Global Certification Forum (GCF) today announced that it is adding 3GPP-based Mission Critical Services (MCS) to its certification programme, also referred to as MCX, following a multi-year collaboration between GCF and TCCA-Critical Communications, and the members of both organisations at Mission Critical Services Work Stream.
For the first time, MCS product vendors can demonstrate conformance of different MCS clients and servers based on global standards maintained by 3GPP.
MCS and critical communications provide essential voice and data connectivity to first responders, public safety services, transportation sectors, and more. The next generation of MCS, also referred as #BroadbandMCS, are being delivered over #LTE cellular networks and evolving towards #5G, thus providing the services required for emergency response.
With this new certification, MCS operators and service providers can be sure of the #quality and #compliance of certified devices and services. This will facilitate the development of an ecosystem of MC services with multiple interoperable providers.

Tero Pesonen All the best for this important 3GPP workshop. It's good to see TCCA-Critical Communications continuing to promote global standards for #criticalcommunications - all the way from 2G to 6G & beyond - & keeping up the great work of the past 30 years, with the support of all your members as we define the next steps of this never-ending journey. Safe travels & see you in Dubai next week, Peter Clemons
