With the focus on mission critical communications, the partnership between Eviden and Druid is positioned to have a significant worldwide influence, as it has the ability to provide and maintain networks on a global scale.

Yesterday, Eviden was invited to attend a demo day in Bray, Ireland, hosted by their partner Druid Software. The event showcased advanced 4G LTE/5G core network technologies.

At the event, Eviden showcased a completely self-governing Mission Critical Communication solution. This solution included Eviden's Lifelink Extense, which operated on the B31 frequency (450 MHz), and Eviden's Lifelink MCx Connect application, which ran on durable mobile phones.

The application featured 3GPP compliant MCVideo, MCPTT, and MCData functionalities.

In addition to providing Mission-Critical Communications to governments in the public sector, the Eviden Lifelink communication solution is currently being utilized by private sector companies such as utilities, mining, and telecoms & media.

Even in situations where there is a loss of power and cell networks are unavailable, Eviden's portable Lifelink Hub guarantees uninterrupted direct-to-device emergency connection. It provides features like as voice communication, location sharing, and notifications.

Combining Evidens' expertise with that of Druid is therefore an excellent way of developing the potential of the joint market:

  1. Enhancing European autonomy by providing dependable solutions for business and mission-critical communication.
  2. Collaboratively meeting the needs of a fast-growing and high-demand market for customized end-to-end solutions for customers.
  3. Facilitating the ability to reach a wider range of interconnected systems


The cooperation between Eviden and Druid is positioned to have a significant worldwide influence, as it has the ability to provide and maintain networks on a global scale with the focus on mission critical services.

Last week, Druid and Eviden teams joined forces to showcase a joint solution for Utilities at the 450 MHz Alliance.
