T Mission: A New Standard in Critical Communication for Germany’s Emergency Services
Meeting today’s challenges head-on
The challenge: modern demands, legacy systems
The solution: T Mission with trusted partners
-
- Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) — instant, secure group and individual voice communication, essential for fast coordination
-
- Mission-Critical Push-to-Video (MCVIDEO) — live video sharing and streaming for real-time situational awareness
-
- Mission-Critical Push-to-Data (MCDATA) — secure transmission of images, documents, and other operational data across teams
-
- Dynamic talk groups that form automatically based on incident or location, reducing delays in coordination
-
- AI-powered tools for noise cancellation and situational analysis in complex environments
-
- BOS-Spur (Network Slicing) to guarantee network capacity for emergency services even under heavy load
Telekom has partnered with Motorola Solutions and TASSTA to deliver this solution. Motorola provides the resilient infrastructure backbone, while TASSTA contributes its 3GPP-compliant MCX platform, already validated in real-world tests with German public safety organizations. Together, they create a communication environment that is both future-ready and field-proven.
Real-world impact: more safety, less risk
T Mission delivers tangible benefits for emergency services:
-
- Guaranteed priority communication through MCPTT, MCVIDEO, and MCDATA, ensuring critical messages always get through
- Guaranteed priority communication through MCPTT, MCVIDEO, and MCDATA, ensuring critical messages always get through
-
- Faster decision-making powered by live video feeds, secure data exchange, and AI-assisted analysis
-
- Seamless integration with TETRA, supporting a gradual and user-friendly transition to broadband-based systems
-
- Future scalability across LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, and dedicated secure core networks
- Future scalability across LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, and dedicated secure core networks
As Gottfried Ludewig, Head of Public at Deutsche Telekom, explains:
“With T Mission, we put a blue light on critical data. Voice, video, and information from first responders take priority in our network — ensuring faster coordination, clearer communication, and greater safety for teams in the field.”
Looking forward
Telekom plans to expand T Mission with Interworking Function (IWF) by 2026, creating a seamless bridge between MCX and TETRA. This step will enable organizations to adopt next-generation services like MCPTT, MCVIDEO, and MCDATA while maintaining trusted legacy systems during the transition.
