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.

TETRA set to take centre stage with a year of record growth

Industry event to present complete capabilities of critical communications industry

Wednesday 17 April 2013, London, UK

TETRA continues to dominate the critical communications market. Data released by IMS Research (now part of IHS Inc.) shows that 2012 is the third consecutive year for record shipments by manufacturers of TETRA equipment. The technology is being deployed in more regions than ever before, and showing strong acceptance in a growing number of vertical markets.

Reflecting the on-going popularity of the TETRA standard, the industry’s annual Critical Communications World conference and exhibition is expecting a record number of attendees and exhibitors. This year the event takes place in Paris from 21-24 May 2013.

“TETRA is a robust and highly specified standard that has proven its worth time and time again to its users, and to the wider public who depend on critical communications for their safety and security,” said Phil Kidner, CEO of the TETRA and Critical Communications Association (TCCA). “The established leader throughout the world, there are still new markets opening up. These include North America, where we are seeing TETRA being adopted for the first time in the utilities and public transport sectors.”
