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.

The Challenge: Instant, Secure Communication Under Extreme Conditions

First responders and field personnel often face unpredictable environments—industrial sites, disaster zones, or large public events—where conventional networks and tools are not enough. The requirements were clear:

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.
