• Technology moving from TETRA / PMR / P.25 to 4G / 5G.

• Reliable communications are essential to managing emergencies.

– Lives depend on this.– Certification is a key component to

providing assurance of reliability.

Critical Communications – Why?Industry specific challenges: Critical Communications 2

Not just emergency users. Market expected to expand to include other professional radio users.

Certification for Critical Communications

Industry specific challenges: Critical Communications 6

• Mission Critical Services depend on reliable devices, networks and services.

• Devices and Networks are specialized• Features supported.• Network architecture / operational model.

• GCF and TCCA plan to work together to jointly investigate and develop a Mission Critical Certification.

• Plan to launch early Q3-2020.

• Critical Communications services will be migrated from TETRA / PMR / P.25 to 4G and 5G networks.

• Other sectors with similar reliability and performance requirements are investigating using mission critical networks and devices.

– Utilities sector (Electricity, gas).– Mining and oil and gas industries.– Public transit / metro / rail (potential replacement for GSM-R).

• Certification is important for this market. – GCF and TCCA are working to develop MC Certification.
