Brief
August 22, 2025, marked a milestone for India’s critical communication industry with the successful hosting of the first-ever Critical Communications India (CCI) event, jointly organized by TCCA and Broadband India Forum (BIF) at Hotel Lalit, New Delhi.
As a proud participant, Consort Digital showcased MCX ONE – India’s Own Mission-Critical Communication Ecosystem, reinforcing our vision of delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable communication platforms for India’s most vital sectors.
Consort Digital at the Forefront
As an indigenous innovator in mission-critical technologies, Consort Digital showcased MCX ONE – India’s Own MCX-based Mission-Critical Platform. Designed on open 3GPP standards and FRMCS-ready, MCX ONE represents a secure, scalable, and interoperable ecosystem for voice, video, and data.
Our directors, Devdarsh Jain and Rajiv Mangla, delivered impactful presentations on the Narrowband to Broadband and MCX for Nationwide PPDR with Shared Infrastructure, addressing the transformation towards broadband industry and addressing how India can adopt next-generation communication solutions.
Why does this event matter?
Being the first of its kind in India, Critical Communications India 2025 marked the beginning of a new chapter for the industry. Until now, mission-critical communication discussions were largely global. With this platform, India now has its own forum to address challenges, exchange ideas, and drive innovation for local needs with global standards.
This event emphasized:
- ✔The urgent need for modernization in public safety, transport, and utilities.
- ✔The importance of open standards (3GPP/ETSI) for interoperability and scalability.
- ✔The role of private 5G networks in ensuring secure, low-latency, and reliable communications.
- ✔India’s journey towards self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) in critical technology solutions.
How does it Benefit the Critical Communications Industry?
The outcomes of this event are set to transform the industry in multiple ways:
- ✔Awareness & Collaboration: For the first time, stakeholders across government, transport, utilities, and defense came together to align on India’s mission-critical roadmap.
- ✔Accelerated Adoption of MCX & FRMCS: Operators and enterprises now have clearer direction for migration from legacy systems to broadband.
- ✔Boost to Indigenous Solutions: With platforms like MCX ONE, India can rely on Made in India technology for national projects.
- ✔Safer, Smarter Infrastructure: Enhanced communication directly improves public safety, disaster response, and operational efficiency in critical sectors.
