Mission Critical Communication‘Mission critical operations’ for PPDR organisations address situations where human life and goods (rescue operations, law enforcement) and other values for society are at risk, especially when time is a vital factor.This means we define ‘mission critical information’ as the vital information for PPDR to succeed with the operation.‘
Mission critical communication solutions’ therefore means that PPDR needs secure, reliable and available communication and as a consequence cannot afford the risk of having failures in their individual and group communication (e.g. voice and data or video transmissions
).

Legal conditions used todayOwnership of the operator company has to be approved and no change in ownership is allowed until re-approved. The owner(s) shall guarantee the contract. Any transfer of shares, merger, demerger, change of capital etc. will need to be approved. Any service defect in this kind of service provision – particular in extreme situations - may cost lives or put national security at risk. Definition of “Force majeure” is usually restricted and certain events are excluded altogether.Slide10
