TCCA and PMeV – Netzwerk Sichere Kommunikation (German Association and Network for Critical Communications) have agreed to cooperate on the development of a guide for connecting control rooms to mission-critical services (MCX) in 4G/5G networks. A number of international control center operators are also participating in this project.

"There is a vital need for guidance in the application of 3GPP standards to the connection of control rooms to critical broadband services and networks,” said TCCA Chief Executive Tony Gray. “This cooperation will develop an implementation guide for control rooms agreed by the 65 participants in TCCA’s Control Room Workshop earlier this year. The core thesis of this document is that only an internationally agreed solution based on global standards is economically attractive, future-oriented and permits interoperability.”

"The connection of control centers is highly important for mission- and safety-critical broadband applications in order to meet the increasing demand for broadband services in mission-critical 4G/5G networks," said Bernhard Klinger, chairman of the PMeV Board of Management. “PMeV represents the German interest in mission-critical communication standardization and will contribute to the international developments in this area.”
