Membership in the GCF also provides Airbus with direct access to essential compliance data, testing frameworks, and certification insights.

As the industry gathers at Critical Communications World, Airbus is pleased to announce its membership in the Global Certification Forum (GCF) as a Manufacturing Member, marking an important step in strengthening its commitment to global standards in mission-critical communications.

With GCF certification increasingly becoming a key requirement for international Mission Critical Services (MCX) tenders, this membership enables Airbus to independently validate both hardware and software solutions against globally recognized certification standards.

By joining the GCF, Airbus further reinforces its dedication to delivering technology that is fully compliant with 3GPP standards, ensuring customers and partners worldwide continue to benefit from reliable, interoperable, and future-ready critical communications solutions.

Membership in the GCF also provides Airbus with direct access to essential compliance data, testing frameworks, and certification insights. In addition, Airbus will actively contribute to shaping future industry standards by collaborating with leading organizations across the global critical communications ecosystem.

As mission-critical communications continue to evolve, Airbus remains focused on driving innovation, ensuring compliance, and supporting the development of next-generation technologies that empower public safety, transportation, utilities, and enterprise sectors worldwide.

Airbus looks forward to working alongside fellow GCF members to help shape the future of critical communications.
