Myco4 Redefines Critical Communications with Airbus TETRA Integration and World's First 5G Mission-Critical Services Certification

Ascom, a global leader in mission-critical communication and collaboration solutions, announced the official certification of the Ascom Myco 4 smartphone for Agnet TETRA by Airbus. This certification unlocks a powerful, mobile-first joint solution born from the strong collaboration between Ascom and Airbus Public Safety and Security, delivering a robust platform for organizations where secure, reliable critical communications and staff safety are non-negotiable.

This joint solution provides a transformative communication tool for sectors including public safety, healthcare, transportation, and industrial operations. It combines the rugged, reliable Ascom Myco 4 device with the advanced capabilities of the Airbus Agnet TETRA application, offering a comprehensive suite of features designed for mission-critical environments.

Key features of the joint solution include:

  • Push-to-X Capabilities: Seamless push-to-talk, push-to-video, push-to-location, and multimedia messaging.
  • Enhanced Personal Safety: Integrated man-down detection, pull-cord alarms, and real-time location tracking to ensure employee welfare.
  • Certified Interoperability: The rugged, Android Enterprise Recommended Myco 4 is fully integrated with Agnet TETRA, guaranteeing performance in demanding conditions.
  • Multifunction Buttons: Customizable for instant emergency calls, group communication, or application access.

"This certification confirms what our teams have worked hard to achieve: a robust, secure, and future-ready communications solution built for mission-critical environments," said a spokesperson from Ascom.

Enhancing this achievement, earlier this year Ascom also announced that the Myco 4 has become the world’s first 5G phone certified for Mission-Critical Services (MCS) by the Global Certification Forum (GCF). This independent certification underscores Ascom's commitment to innovation and establishes a new benchmark for the future of critical communications, leveraging 5G's high speed, low latency, and enhanced capacity for life-or-death scenarios.
