The move by Myndigheten för Samhällsskydd och Beredskap (MSB) follows the recent announcement by GCF and TCCA of the support for Broadband Mission Critical Services certification programme. This began with 3GPP’s Release-14 MCPTT specifications.

System architect for MSB’s Rakel Generation 2, Anders Granath, said: “For the first time, MCS product vendors can demonstrate conformance of their MCS clients and devices based on global standards maintained by 3GPP. MSB is committed to support this certification.
