PMRExpo - Hotspot for Secure Communication

The Leading European Trade Fair for Secure Communication provided a unique forum for networking and solutions revolving around secure mission- and business-critical mobile communication for authorities and organisations with security tasks (BOS), critical infrastructures (KRITIS) and all economic sectors. Users, providers, service providers and procurers in dialogue: exhibitors from around the world presented innovations, products, solutions and applications on the three days of the trade fair. Including from the fields of application solutions, control centre and security technology, infrastructure elements and device accessories.

The trade fair was accompanied by the PMRExpo Summit, at which prominent industry experts presented the latest technologies, security aspects and business chances.  

Shape the future of mission- and business-critical communication together.

The themes of PMRExpo were located in the field of tension from narrow and broadband networks through 5G campus solutions to all technologies that can more efficiently design the economy and public life and protect them. Especially topical were the interconnectivity of narrow and broadband networks as well as the setting up of private broadband networks, which are mostly operated independently by users. These have considerably increased in importance with the LTE and particularly with the 5G standards.

Since 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia's Home Secretary Herbert Reul has been the patron of PMRExpo. His ongoing commitment emphasizes the importance of the trade fair as a leading platform for topics related to secure communications, the protection of critical infrastructure, and digital security.

Control centres

Control centres play a central role within the complete spectrum of mission-critical communication. And their importance is growing. Control centres are also decisive in times of crisis. They face immense challenges given the technological, political, economic and environmental developments.

BOS

For authorities and organisations with security and safety tasks, secure and readily available speech and data communication is of decisive importance.
