Course Details

Providing a platform for Mission Critical communications and services is a key priority. The use of LTE functionality and capabilities has greatly assisted this with the support of MCPTT (Mission Critical Push To Talk), MCData (Mission Critical Data) and MCVideo (Mission Critical Video) features standardized by 3GPP. Many of these features are applicable to Mission Critical services over 5G. This short course will provide an overview of the components of the Mission Critical communication system, the available Mission Critical Services and the associated procedures.
