John Lewis, Chief Operating Officer of Airwave, says: “In the mission critical communications environment that Airwave works in, it is essential that our plans and processes mean that we are always prepared for both planned and unplanned events.”

Airwave, the leading mission critical voice and data communications provider, has acquired ISO22301 certification - the international standard for business continuity management systems (BCMS) - making it one of the first telecoms companies to transfer its BS25999 certification to the new ISO standard.

The certification confirms that Airwave’s business management system conforms to international business continuity standards.

John Lewis, Chief Operating Officer of Airwave, says: “In the mission critical communications environment that Airwave works in, it is essential that our plans and processes mean that we are always prepared for both planned and unplanned events.”

To further endorse their capabilities in this critical area, Airwave recently won the ‘Resilience in Infrastructure’ award at the 2013 Business Continuity Awards, in association with CIR Magazine, held recently at the Hilton on Park Lane, London.

“Our customers rely on the Airwave Network and the service we provide to keep them communicating as they deliver their vital public service. This award recognises our commitment to ensuring an efficient, informed and rapid response - whatever the scenario,” concludes John.
