International Critical Communications Awards 2017: Now open for entries

TETRA Today and Land Mobile are pleased to announce the second year of the International Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs).

TETRA Today and Land Mobile are pleased to announce the second year of the International Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs).

The ICCAs (formerly the International TETRA Awards) recognise excellence in the use of mission-critical communications around the world and celebrate the most innovative companies that are constantly developing and moving the market forward.

Produced with the support of the TCCA, the ICCAs take place during a time of change for the industry. The first projects to use LTE for mission-critical applications are underway in South Korea, the US and here in the UK, creating the need for manufacturers and service providers to position themselves as key players in this transition.

The ICCAs return to the Honourable Artillery Company in London on the 17th of February for a lavish ceremony, which will bring together key players in the industry to look back on the past year’s achievements, make new friends and reunite with old colleagues. 

Last year’s event broke new ground for the number of entries and the ICCAs’ judges were impressed by the high quality of entries (a record number of nominations were submitted over nine hotly-contested categories), which made the task of choosing the winners all the more challenging.
