Mission Critical Networks

Fast, reliable and secure communications

We provide communications systems that enable advanced, high-performance, reliable and secure mobile broadband communication services for critical situations, based on Ericsson’s leading 3GPP 4G and 5G technology. Together with telecommunications operators, we empower the digital transformation of public safety agencies and the mission critical infrastructure industry.

At Ericsson Nikola Tesla, we start from where you are today and help you develop systems with new capabilities that will consistently justify future-proof investments. Whether you are part of the government sector, public safety sector, or critical infrastructure industries such as railways and utilities, we have a solution for you.

Mission-critical communications are communications that take place when they are needed most and on which human lives often depend. They are intended for services that ensure public safety and provide emergency assistance, such as police, emergency medical services, firefighters, rescue services and other public institutions responsible for the safety of citizens. In addition to saving lives, this type of communication is also intended for large utility enterprises that provide vital functions for every country.

A mission-critical communications solution must operate flawlessly, regardless of the situation, because it is used by end users and their organizations operating within the public sector or highly regulated government sectors, delivering national critical infrastructure services that are essential to the functioning of society and the economy.

As a trusted partner and network expert, we provide mission-critical communications solutions that enable communications service providers and specialized vertical operators to deliver high-performance mobile services for public safety, peacekeeping, defense, railways and large utility organizations.

Our solutions are designed to complement or upgrade existing national or regional Land Mobile Radio (LMR) networks into private LTE/5G networks or public networks enhanced with mission-critical capabilities, delivering comprehensive and reliable voice, data and video services.

Ericsson’s mission-critical communications network portfolio consists of the same infrastructure components that form commercial operator networks, including radio and core networks, network management, operations and business support systems, expert analytics, security and services. They incorporate enhanced functionalities and capabilities to ensure mission-critical performance across the following five areas: network availability, multi-network operation, coverage and capacity, security and protection against attacks, and quality of service, priority and precedence.

Technology can elevate reliability to a new level, while enhanced situational awareness and automation can further improve mission-critical operations.
