Mission Critical Communication (MCX) Trends


Growing Benefits of 5G for Mission Critical Communication Systems


Mission critical communications has been highlighted as a key area in the 3GPP release due to the ultra-high-reliability and low-latency communications (URLLC) of 5G. It will allow emergency services to replace old radio with more modern communications means presently available to smartphone users if delivered as part of a core network service. Real-time capability with the shortest possible network delay is required for mission-critical systems. Users gain trust in communications when they know they can rely on them, even in life-threatening situations. With 5G, mission-critical networks will expand beyond typical Push-to-Talk to include Push-to-Video, video sharing, group chat, file sharing, location sharing, and much more – all while ensuring that mission-critical scenarios are prioritized properly. This advancement in technology will allow a broader range of applications and use cases to deliver efficient, safer, and cost-effective solutions via commercial mobile networks with specific mission-critical capabilities.
