PMRExpo will provide valuable insights into current and future fields of application for high-availability, private 5G campus networks. Leading companies and organisations will present use cases and fields of application for private 5G campus networks. They will explain the key considerations that ensure efficient implementation – from the initial idea to full roll-out.

Control centres play a central role within the complete spectrum of mission-critical communication. And their importance is growing. Control centres are also decisive in times of crisis. They face immense challenges given the technological, political, economic and environmental developments.

For authorities and organisations with security and safety tasks, secure and readily available speech and data communication is of decisive importance. This is because emergency situations are often a matter of life and death. Continuous development and adaptation of the technologies used play an important role in ensuring reliable and secure communication for police, fire brigade, emergency and relief services.

Companies that operate critical infrastructures play a decisive role in the preservation of public order and economic capability. Innovative technologies and solutions are required to address challenges such as protection against cyber-attacks, safeguarding sensitive information, and complying with security standards and regulations.

The future of critical communication will be defined by the Internet of Things (IoT). The technology landscape will be redesigned in particular with the rollout of 5G networks. Besides 5G, LPWAN technologies are trailblazers for innovative IoT applications that require reliable connectivity.

Satellite communication is developing from a niche application case to a fixed element of critical communication infrastructures. New LEO constellations, direct-to-device services and the integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) into 5G and, in future, 6G standards create new channels for resilient communication – especially there where availability and reliability are decisive.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way information is processed, situations are evaluated and critical processes are controlled. AI is thus becoming an important tool for authorities and organisations with security tasks (BOS), control centres, operators of Critical Infrastructures (KRITIS) and industry: it helps to more quickly understand large amounts of data, relieve emergency personnel, recognise disruptions early and better prepare decisions.
