Best Use of Mission-Critical Communications During a Major Event

Best Use of Critical Communications in Transport

Transport organisations are becoming increasingly dependent on effective communications systems in order to help make sure their passengers get safely from A to B in the most efficient way possible. This could include bus, tram, metro, and railway services, as well as port and airport ground operations. In this category, the judges will be looking at a range of criteria, including the size and difficulty of the roll-out, as well as level of innovation in the deployment of pre-existing technology. 

-       Size and difficulty of roll-out
-       Efficient use of resources
-       Level of innovation and inventiveness in the deployment of pre-existing technology
-       System reliability
-       Fulfilment of specific operational requirements.

Best Use of Critical Communications in Utilities

Within the critical communications sector, utilities companies exist in a space where absolutely nothing can be allowed to go wrong. The effective deployment of communications technology is integral to this, whether through the use of two-way radio or broadband by operatives on the ground, or via automated distribution processes facilitated by data. This award celebrates innovation, reliability, and above all the fulfilment of specific operational requirements. 

-         Size and difficulty of roll-out
-         Efficient use of resources
-         Level of innovation and inventiveness in the deployment of pre-existing technology
-         System reliability
-         Fulfilment of specific operational requirements.

Best Use of Critical Communications in Public Safety

Over the last few years, public safety organisations across the globe have found themselves constantly having to do more with less, thanks to a combination of perpetually shrinking budgets and ever-increasingly societal expectation. One of the ways in which this has been accomplished is through the innovative use of communications technology, both on the frontline and within the control room. This award will recognise sector-leading examples of innovation and best practice in the quest to keep those on the frontline safe.

-         Size and difficulty of roll-out
-         Efficient use of resources
-         Level of innovation and inventiveness in the deployment of pre-existing technology
-         System reliability
-         Fulfilment of specific operational requirements.
