HYTERA BAGS ICCAS AWARD 2024 WITH MCS SOLUTION

KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Hytera Communications was honoured with ICCAs 2024 Award of “Best use of critical communications in industrial, manufacturing, mining resources, oil & gas exploration” in recognition of its Interconnected MCS and TETRA Systems for Leading Steel Manufacturer.

The 2024 International Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs) ceremony was held on May 14 at the Intercontinental Festival City in Dubai, according to a statement.

Hytera Marketing Director, Dylan Liu said being awarded with ICCAs 2024 underscored its commitment to technological innovation.

“Hytera has been leading with MCS deployments in many industries such as railway and utilities. The team will continue to innovate and advance our multiple product lines,” he said.

The award recognises Hytera Interconnected MCS and TETRA Systems, deployed by Baoshan Iron & Steel Co Ltd (Baosteel), as previously Baosteel, a Fortune Global 500 company, operated with a TETRA system installed in 2007, incapable of meeting the surging demand for broadband applications as the industry advanced in digitisation and automation.

Hytera upgraded the Baosteel system with the latest TETRA technology and integrated the updated TETRA system with Convergence-native mission critical services (MCS), enhancing productivity and safety for over 3,000 workers.

This integration ensures comprehensive communication coverage, enabling on-demand communication while meeting the strong demand for multimedia transmission.

The company also equipped the Baosteel team with dual-mode terminals and 5G XSecure Smart Devices to further expand the application of dual-network interconnection, which effectively reduces the burden on operation and maintenance personnel who would otherwise need to carry multiple devices.

The Hytera MCS system improved Baosteel communication and production efficiency by ensuring seamless communication and collaboration among the workforce, by facilitating an effortless transition to broadband applications via interconnecting MCS and TETRA Systems, optimising workflows, and bolstering workplace safety.
