MISSION CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS

When Every Millisecond
Determines Whether
Someone Lives or Dies.

MCX — Mission Critical Communications over LTE/5G — complements and interworks with existing TETRA networks, adding broadband push-to-talk, video, and data services. Built on 3GPP TS 22.280. Designed for government, public safety and emergency services use cases.

3GPP STANDARDS

Three MCX Services. One Unified Platform.

3GPP Release 13–16 defined three separate mission-critical service standards. HCT deploys all three on a single private 5G infrastructure — complementing existing TETRA voice networks with broadband video and data on a unified sovereign platform.
