In this episode of The CCT Podcast, CCT Editor Philip Mason speaks with Mladen Vratonjic, former Chair of the TCCA Board, during his final Critical Communications World as chair.

Reflecting on 11 years leading TCCA, Mladen discusses how the critical communications sector has evolved from fragmented radio ecosystems towards more global, standardised and interoperable communications. He explores TCCA’s role in bringing critical communications into the 3GPP standardisation process, the growing importance of public safety, and why cross-border cooperation is becoming increasingly vital across Europe.

The conversation also looks at the development of Critical Communications World, the progress of initiatives such as EUCCS, and the challenges facing the sector as it moves towards broadband critical communications. Mladen shares why resilience, trust and realistic expectations will be essential as the industry continues to develop technologies that people rely on when lives are at stake.
