Research and production process for the conference programme is now underway, giving you the opportunity to share your thoughts on content for the agenda and to submit a case study proposal.

During the last 14 years the TETRA World Congress has developed to become the annual meeting place for TETRA Users, Operators, Distributors and Manufacturers from around the globe. As the TETRA standard and User requirements have developed, so the event’s content and focus have evolved. Providing Mission Critical Mobile Broadband is the next big step for our industry. Today, Critical Communications Users are looking to the future and asking how they can access enhanced data services and applications (based on TEDS, WiMax, and LTE) alongside their secure and reliable voice and narrow band services.

Critical Communications World will incorporate the key show elements that you currently expect from the TETRA World Congress. In addition, we will be broadening the scope of the conference and exhibition to focus further on Critical Broadband technologies. The conference will examine how potential Mobile Broadband technologies can be combined with TETRA to meet the future voice and data requirements of Mission Critical Users. We welcome Users of all Critical Communications technologies to join the debate.

The content of the conference will focus on the following themes







If you would like to actively share your knowledge and practical experience with this audience then we would like to hear from you.

The goal of the event is to allow Mission Critical Communications users to exchange ideas, develop expertise and share best practice. The interactive programme for 2013 will incorporate a mixture of case study presentations, workshop-based discussions, panel sessions, interviews, seminars and masterclasses. Please feel free to send proposals for all/any of these formats.

Key themes for discussion in the conference are likely to include:

  • The Role Of TETRA In Critical Communications
  • Critical Communications For Crisis Management, Incident And Event Planning
  • TETRA Deployment, Integration & Interoperability
  • TETRA And Complementary Technologies
