• Frequentis and Lyfo form a strategic partnership to advance network connectivity for safety-critical applications
• The pair’s capabilities are already demonstrated in European research projects piloting a blueprint for high-capacity mobile communications
• Frequentis’ MissionX and Lyfo’s seamless connectivity will allow faster decisions, safer operations, and better protection of the public

Reliable broadband connectivity is essential for emergency services and public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) organisations to coordinate responses, share real-time information, and maintain situational awareness during critical incidents.

“We are extremely proud of our long-standing partnership with Lyfo and are delighted to now develop it further. The combination of our 3GPP-standardised MissionX communication solution with the innovative, patented Lyfo portfolio creates unique added value for all safety-critical organisations, in line with the Frequentis mission: ‘For A Safer World’,” says Manuel Hintermayr, Director of Mission Critical Services at Frequentis.

• Organisationen und Unternehmen im Bereich der Kritischen Infrastruktur (KRITIS) können den Service ohne Investitionen in Hard- und Software nutzen
• Priorisierte einsatzkritische Sprach-, Daten- und Video-Kommunikation erfolgt über öffentliche und/oder private Mobilfunknetze
• Cloud-basierte Lösung ist ab Mitte 2026 operativ

Frequentis stellt mit MissionX ab Mitte 2026 die ersten MCX-Services für die KRITIS-Sektoren in Deutschland bereit. Damit können z.B. Einsatzkommunikation, Messenger-Föderationen oder Videos von Einsatzdrohnen oder Telemediziner:innen priorisiert übertragen werden. Der globale Anbieter von Kommunikations- und Informationssystemen für Organisationen mit sicherheits­kritischen Aufgaben dokumentiert damit erneut seine Innovationsfähigkeit für die Entwicklung zukunftsfähiger Sicherheitstechnologien. 

• Vodafone, Frequentis, DLR, and the Rostock Fire Brigade are testing drones in rescue missions
• Drones transmit initial aerial images directly to the control centre – even before emergency service crews arrive
• Emergency response times are reduced by around 7 minutes
• Reliable aerial footage allows more detailed operational planning, even in hard-to-reach locations 

“We bring video and sensor data immediately to our LifeX or ASGARD control centre and to the approaching emergency responders. This ensures that everyone involved in the operation has the same, consistent information about the scene immediately, and at all times, regardless of location. This shared situational awareness accelerates decision-making and ensures a faster, appropriate, and effective response to the situation,” says Günter Graf, Vice President New Business Development at Frequentis.

• 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

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.

“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.”

• Important milestone for the introduction of future digital broadband communications for authorities and organisations with security tasks (BOS)
• This is based on the 3GPP-standardised Mission Critical Services (MCX) implemented by Frequentis
• Testing of a research object from Frequentis from the KoPa_45 project

Frequentis has become the first company in Germany to implement the prioritised transmission of safety-critical operational communications of authorities and organisations with security tasks (BOS) in a public MCX-ready mobile network. This innovative solution was developed in collaboration with Vodafone and presented for the first time on 2/3 April at the trade fair GPEC digital 2025 (General Police Equipment Exhibition & Conference) in Leipzig.

“The implementation of this technological development once again demonstrates Frequentis' innovative capability and the resulting success. In this way, we are supporting the future-proof sovereignty of the communication and operational capability of authorities and organisations with security tasks decided by the BDBOS,” says Marcel Haar, Managing Director Frequentis Germany.
