GCF certification as a key enabler for mission critical broadband services
Public Safety Agencies and Mission Critical Communication Operators (MCCOs) around the world are currently in various phases of migrating their existing Public Land Mobile Radio networks from voice-oriented narrowband technologies, such as TETRA and P25, to mobile broadband technologies, based on 3GPP’s 4G-LTE and 5G-NR standards. GCF in collaboration with The Critical Communications Association (TCCA), has developed and deployed a Mission Critical Services Certification regime that demonstrates both compliance to the standards, and interoperability of mission critical products & services.
