The increasing use of broadband applications by first responders to augment existing mission-critical voice and narrowband data services is catalysing a focus on the quality of ‘mission-critical’ applications. Unlike consumer apps, mission-critical apps need to achieve end-to-end mission-critical quality of service (QoS) levels in terms of priority, pre-emption, availability, security and resilience. This means that their successful deployment and management is a complex task. A new advisory white paper from TCCA looks at the key considerations that must be taken into account when developing and deploying true mission-critical applications, with the emphasis on the user experience being of paramount importance.

With 5G still in phased stages of development and deployment, it may seem premature to plan for the next generation of wireless communication technology. But with ambitious goals that build upon the current generation, it’s not too early to begin addressing the technological, regulatory, geographical and educational challenges that will be required to make ubiquitous 6G a reality.
