Tony Gray elected to critical communications posts
Kai Rotermundt, Managing Director of P3 communications GmbH: “We are both happy and proud to support the contribution of Tony’s considerable industry knowledge and experience to the important work being undertaken in both the TCCA and its new CCBG.”
German telecoms consulting and engineering firm P3 communications GmbH has recently reinforced its already considerable on-going commitment to the critical communications sector through dual election successes.
P3 Regional Business Director Tony Gray (pictured) was selected to chair the newly-formed ‘Critical Communications Broadband Group’ (CCBG) at its inaugural meeting in Amsterdam in April.
Then at the TETRA + Critical Communications Association (TCCA) AGM held during the TETRA World Congress show in Dubai in May, Tony was also elected to join the Board of the TCCA.
Tony is a well-known and respected figure in the critical communications world, having worked for the past 20+ years as an independent consultant supporting mission and business critical communications users, standards bodies, regulatory authorities and industry. He has taken a leading role in a wide variety of communications and control systems projects throughout the public safety and security, PPDR, transportation, and other related sectors worldwide.
A Working Group of the TCCA, the new CCBG will drive the development and adoption of common global mobile broadband standards and solutions for users who operate in a mission or business critical environment. The group will also work with the TCCA’s Spectrum Group and partner organisations such as PSC-Europe to lobby for appropriate harmonised spectrum in which to deploy critical broadband services and applications.
“By bringing together all interested parties, irrespective of their current chosen technology, the CCBG is taking the lead in gathering the requirements for future critical communications broadband services,” said Gray. “We will look to build and strengthen relationships with other influential organisations around the world, and channel the wealth of knowledge that exists within the TCCA into making mission critical broadband a reality.”
Speaking of the dual election successes, Kai Rotermundt, Managing Director of P3 communications GmbH, said: “We are both happy and proud to support the contribution of Tony’s considerable industry knowledge and experience to the important work being undertaken in both the TCCA and its new CCBG.”
Rotermundt went on: “P3 continues to be heavily involved in and committed to the critical communications sector as a whole, not least through our work on the German national public safety TETRA project for the BDBOS. We see the future of critical communications services as being developed and assured to the benefit of users and the industry as a whole through the work of organisations and groups such as the TCCA and CCBG.”
