ETELM to Help Determine a Single Interoperable Global Standard for 3GPP

Radio communications specialist ETELM has participated in the fourth annual MCX Plugtests event, which brought together vendors and suppliers from across the mission-critical communications supply chain to independently and jointly test infrastructure components.

ETELM, headquartered in France, was one of over 30 participants in the tests, alongside organisations from throughout the telecommunications industry and academia worldwide.

Nicolas Hauswald, CEO of ETELM, said: “Interoperability is central to ETELM’s ethos and technology. For example, our 4G Linked solution enables organisations to balance the benefits and functionality of both next-generation mobile broadband technology and professional mobile radio communications, by enabling interoperability between LTE and TETRA networks.

“We have always been strong advocates of the role MCPTT and MCX services have to play in delivering interoperability. Collaborative approaches are critical to building next-generation mission-critical infrastructure and organisations from across industry and academia need to work together to ensure the development of standards which work for all.

“As such, we were delighted to be one of the participants in MCX Plugtests. Many of the most exciting and innovative telecommunications organisations from across the world came together to test their technology independently and jointly, setting a foundation for interoperable solutions.”
