Softil, a mission-critical communications (MCX) solutions enabler, and Mocotec, Germany’s mobile communications technologies company for private and public TETRA and LTE/4G/5G networks, jointly announced an agreement that will enable Germany’s public safety agencies to become more productive and to better communicate during emergencies and disasters.
“This cooperation agreement with Softil aims to bring the many advantages of 5G mobile communications and potentially 6G for more effective mission-critical communications operations,” said Martin Schick, CEO of Mocotec. “It will promote the development of broadband communication solutions across the board to better support our emergency services in their daily tasks with secure, high availability uniformly throughout Germany at all times.”
“Softil’s BEEHD MCX enabling technology already empowers many of the MCX devices and equipment used by public safety and emergency service agencies around the world,” said Pierre Hagendorf, CEO, Softil. “This agreement with Mocotec will be instrumental in advancing one of Europe’s largest economies in the MCX revolution.”
Mocotec won a grant from the BDBOS, The Federal Agency for Public Safety Digital Radio in Germany, to develop solutions for measuring/analytic tools for Germany’s up and coming MCX network. The BDBOS’ grant program is called KoPa_45 and is aimed at enabling innovation for the needs of Public Safety.
The project will oversee the development of tools for quick verification of service quality and performance in MCX devices and equipment. In the future these tools will support, for instance, evaluating interoperability of different MCX terminal devices based on open 3GPP standards.
Mocotec has licensed Softil’s BEEHD technology to develop these tools and solutions in the shortest timeframe and minimise development costs. The solution will be developed as part of Mocotec’s Dispatch product line, enabling MCX functionality across all elements. It will also include service validation, assurance, and measurement features within its overall dispatch offering.
