Critical Communications World

The global networking hub heads to Dubai

Serving the sector for more than 20 years, Critical Communications World (CCW) unites mission-critical and business-critical end-users with manufacturers and suppliers for three days of inspiration, knowledge and connections. This year, the event takes place in The United Arab Emirates on 14th – 16th May in Dubai World Trade Centre. Dubai was chosen as it has long been a beacon of innovation, constantly striving to stay ahead of the communications curve by bringing together the world's leading experts to share best practices and showcase the latest next-generation solutions.

At its heart, CCW is a global networking hub, allowing visitors to view the latest technology and forge new business relationships with leading brands from across the globe. In the exhibition hall, you’ll find the latest technologies and build strong supply chain partnerships as you get hands-on with new equipment, see product launches, and speak to knowledgeable exhibitors on how they can solve your challenges. Exhibitors include platinum sponsor Motorola Solutions, gold sponsor Ericsson, and host operator Nedaa. Visitors also have an opportunity to join Tech Tours and watch live product demonstrations from carefully selected exhibitors around specific subjects.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Securing society and industry - Connection is the lifeline,” with a focus on how we can enable and protect via resilient and failsafe critical communications. Hear from a unique line-up of international critical communications leaders and innovators who will discuss vital developments, challenges and what the future holds for the sector. Topics for discussion include the MCX - the evolution to next-generation mission-critical services, as well as managing the migration to critical broadband. Visitors will also be able to participate in crucial presentations around emerging technology, such as 5G, AI and satellites.

Alongside the conference programme, Focus Forums provide in-depth, deep-dive sessions of knowledge sharing and comprehensive updates in specific topic areas. These focused sessions will comprise multiple presentations, interactive discussions and roundtables, allowing specialists to learn about developments and share their challenges, experiences and skills.

A hallmark of CCW is the Global Village. This dedicated space will unite governments and national operators, providing a safe place for representatives of national critical communications projects to discuss ideas, challenges and best practices.

“Dubai has long been a beacon of innovation, constantly striving to stay ahead of the communications curve by bringing together the world's leading experts to share best practices and showcase the latest next-generation solutions. This was at the forefront of our thinking during the selection process and, in hosting CCW next year, we have no doubts that Dubai will further elevate its position on the critical communications frontier and instigate further vital reform that benefits the industry and the world.” Kevin Graham, CEO, TCCA.
