• Frequentis' MissionX Android SDK solution has been recognised as "Best MCX Product or Solution of the Year" at the International Critical Communications Awards 2025
• The platform, enabling reliable broadband for emergency services, is the first of its kind certified by the Global Certification Forum

Frequentis has been awarded the International Critical Communications Award (ICCA) in the category Best MCX Product or Solution of the Year for its MissionX Android SDK - the world's first mission-critical services (MCS) client platform certified by the Global Certification Forum (GCF).

The award, presented during Critical Communications World 2025 in Brussels, recognises outstanding innovation in the deployment of 3GPP-based broadband communication for mission-critical users. Frequentis' submission was selected from over 50 entries, with 14 finalists shortlisted in the category. The platforms' successful certification in June 2024 marked a major milestone for the entire mission-critical communication community, proving that global conformance standards for client platforms can be achieved and implemented in the field.

MissionX Android SDK enables public safety organisations and transport operators to integrate secure, standards-based broadband features - such as push-to-talk, video, and data - into their own applications. It streamlines development by allowing device and app vendors to create user interfaces without managing the complexity of backend systems.

"This achievement reflects the long-standing commitment of Frequentis to driving forward open standards and supporting the global shift to mission-critical broadband," says Charlotte Roesener, Director Mission Critical Services at Frequentis. "Being the first to receive GCF certification for an MCS client platform is a historic moment - and having this recognised by the ICCA reinforces the value this brings to the broader community."

The certification process, involving testing by AstaZero, a Swedish test and research organisation, and evaluation by Ericsson, a global telecom leader, confirmed the platform meets international standards for secure, mission-critical communications. It sets a benchmark for future solutions and supports broader adoption of standardised technology across devices and platforms.

About MCX

With the introduction of LTE/4G, the 4th generation of mobile communications, and the publication of the "Mission Critical Services" standard extension, 3GPP* standard-compliant "mission-critical services" (voice, data, video + management) can be developed for the first time by application manufacturers and integrated into public as well as dedicated 4G/5G mobile networks. The Mission Critical Services (MCX) defined in the 3GPP standard form the basis for the development and deployment of mission-critical services that can be used independently of manufacturers and across borders on the basis of standardised 4G and 5G networks. Frequentis is involved in the development, production, and provision of all services for mission-critical services based on MCX services.

*3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) – international association for the standardisation of mobile networks
