Airbus Defence and Space at Critical Communications World 2014

Airbus Defence and Space will be displaying new LTE and new Tetra products and features at booth A301

Airbus Defence and Space, a leading solutions provider of secure communications for mission-critical users in the civil and military markets, will be displaying its latest products and features at Critical Communications World (CCW) at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore (20-22 May), at booth A301.

The company will be introducing a new Multi-Standard Base Station (MBS) platform and a new high-power (HiPo) modem, combining the Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) technology of Airbus Defence and Space with the Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology of Alcatel-Lucent. Both professional radio network elements allow broadband services to be added to existing Tetra (terrestrial trunked radio) or Tetrapol networks with no impact on the quality of the voice services. The MBS and the HiPo modem operate across all traditional ultra-high frequency bands, like 380-400 MHz, 410-430 MHz and 450-470 MHz.

Critical Communications World – Featuring 5 Panel Debates And Interviews

Some of the most valuable and interesting information shared at the Congress is through the interactive Panel Discussions found throughout the programme. In the last few years, we have seen particularly lively debates around TETRA Network Investment, Application Development, Short & Long Term Opportunities For TETRA and Control Room Communications.

How important is Mission Critical LTE standardisation? Will it affect your organisation?

Will LTE really be able to offer Mission Critical Users the services that they need? When? And at what cost? What steps are being taken to ensure that there will be a global standard for Mission Critical Mobile Broadband?

Standardisation for Mission Critical LTE is VITAL. The topic will form a key part of the debate at Critical Communications World 2014. Watch the videos below to hear more from ETSI, the French MOI and TCCA on the importance of developing common standards. Users of all Critical Communications technologies must draw together to drive forward common goals for Mission Critical Broadband technologies.

NEW DATES AND VENUE ANNOUNCED – Critical Communications World Will Now Take Place From 20 – 22 May 2014, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

Due to the ongoing political instability in Thailand, we have taken the decision with the TCCA to move Critical Communications World 2014 out of Bangkok to the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. This venue can fully accommodate the event’s conference and exhibition requirements and the dates will be 20-22 May 2014.

This decision has not been taken lightly and we have considered all options to determine the best course of action. Ensuring the best possible attendance at CCW is our priority and it is evident that this will not be the case if we remain in Bangkok with the ongoing disruption and uncertainty around security. By moving  to Singapore we will remain in the ASEAN region, in a more stable environment conducive to hosting a show the scale of CCW.

Phi Kidner, CEO of TCCA has made the following statement, 

“It is clear that we need to move away from Bangkok. Moving such a large event at this stage in the planning schedule is not easy, but I am confident that IIR have secured the best alternative available. Critical Communications World will remain in the ASEAN region and in the same time frame. Despite the inconvenience, we are successfully forging ahead with the event’s marketing process and we will continue to make it another great success. I look forward to seeing you and your colleagues in Singapore.”

Thank you for your understanding.
