Airbus, 3GPP to work on mission-critical solutions
Airbus Defence and Space and its partners are working to release updated capabilities for mission-critical multimedia group communications.
The work is being carried out as part of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) - a global initiative that unites various standard development organisations and sets international telecommunications standards as well as system specifications.
A key goal of the project is to improve real-time video group communication (mission-critical video) and develop a thorough 5G solution. The company’s Secure Land Communications division is considering how its Tactilon Agnet application will work with mission-critical push-to-talk and mission-critical data solutions to enable the safe transmission of messages, pictures and videos, but not in real-time. Both solutions refer to a functionality which allows immediate availability for group and one-to-one communication.
The definition of the mission-critical video will still require further improvements with its next release before it can be intensively tested. The application’s hybrid use in Tetra and broadband networks will also be under scrutiny to find the best standard.
