The success of these 3GPP-based MCX (collectively for MCPTT, MCVideo, and MCData) service standards has laid the foundation for the global commercial rollout of nationwide broadband critical communications deployments. As 3GPP evolves, MCPTT services continue to be enhanced through Releases 14, 15, 16, and 17. This type of communication is typically associated with public safety operations.ģGPP published the first global Mission Critical Push to Talk (MCPTT) standard in 2016 (Rel-13).

Mission Critical Services (MCS) refers to reliable broadband communications applications and the underlying infrastructure for safety, security, or emergency crisis management and prevention, where lives or social environments are at stake.
