The German Fire Brigade Association (DFV) has joined the expert network of the Federal Association of Professional Mobile Communications e.V. (PMeV).

DFV President Karl-Heinz Banse explains:

“We want to use the expertise available in the PMeV and also bring it into our technical discussions. Numerous important stakeholders and partners in mission-critical mobile communication are represented in this association. The fire brigades are by far the largest user group in this area; fail-safe communication is of the utmost importance in the event of an emergency.”

The PMeV is an association of leading providers and users of communication systems and solutions for mission- and business-critical mobile communication. The aim of the DFV as a PMeV member is to coordinate the interests existing in various areas even more closely and to participate in each other both technically and strategically. The association is already a member of the DFV support group.

A permanent integration of the PMeV into the work of the specialist committee for control centers and digitization of the German fire brigades is currently being examined.

The DFV represents 1.3 million volunteer members, youth, professional and company fire brigades in 24,000 fire stations and fire stations nationwide.

"We are very pleased that the German Fire Brigade Association, the largest user group of mission-critical communication systems, is now represented in our association. From the technical expertise of the DFV, we expect strong impulses from the user perspective for the further development of secure
and highly available communication in Germany,"

says Bernhard Klinger, Chairman of the Board of the PMeV, pleased about gaining this strong strategic partner for the association's work.
