Telekom BCx and TASSTA: Transforming Mission-Critical Communication in Germany
Raising the Standard for Critical Communications
In situations where every second counts—emergency services, lone worker operations, and large-scale crisis response—communication is more than a necessity; it is a lifeline. To meet these high-stakes demands, TASSTA joined forces with Telekom Business Critical X (BCx) to deliver a next-generation solution for secure, reliable, and future-ready communication across Germany.

- Real-time voice and video communication for immediate situational awareness
- Guaranteed reliability even in critical or high-risk operations
- End-to-end security to protect sensitive data and ensure GDPR compliance
- Easy integration with existing infrastructure without costly network upgrades
Telekom sought a solution that combined the flexibility of modern broadband networks with the robustness of mission-critical radio systems—while maintaining the highest standards of security and performance.
