Partners & Associates

TCCA is the 3GPP Market Representation Partner for the critical communications sector, and TCCA members actively participate in 3GPP Working Groups.

TCCA works closely with ETSI to help deliver the MCX and FRMCS Plugtests™ and through ETSI we guard and guide the development of critical communications standards including TETRA.

We work together with the Global Certification Forum in the interests of our respective members in areas relating to the certification of 3GPP Mission Critical Services. 

TCCA supports the initiatives of EENA, the European Emergency Number Association, which is a non-governmental organisation with the mission to contribute to improving the safety and security of the people.

TCCA brings a global perspective to British APCO,  the UK’s premier association for public safety communications professionals, uniting experts from national policing, fire, ambulance services, academia, and industry suppliers.

As the leading industry supplier association promoting 3GPP mobile technologies, GSA Members and Associates include most of the leading mobile suppliers. TCCA complements this work as the 3GPP Market Representation Partner for critical communications.

TCCA and the Broadband India Forum aim to accelerate the development of standardised mission critical networks, helping to ensure safety and security for critical communications users and those they protect.

Our relationship with South Korea’s Safe-Net Forum serves to further strengthen our knowledge base and enable the Forum to benefit from TCCA members’ experiences in building critical broadband networks. 

The Australasian Critical Communications Forum (ACCF) represents industry and users from the Australasian/Oceania region - all with an interest in advancing the quality of standardised critical LMR and broadband communications.

We share valuable technical expertise with the European Utilities Telecom Council (EUTC) regarding the deployment of mission critical broadband systems to the mutual benefit of both communities.

TCCA’s relationship with the 450 MHz Alliance allows close collaboration, sharing of information and joint standardisation activities, creating a more productive environment for our combined members representing an industrial IoT community.

TCCA works with the ITU-APT Foundation of India (IAFI) to promote the development and deployment of standardised critical communications, and also in local, regional and global spectrum matters.
