EENA this week announced that their latest document, 'MCX in Public Safety', is now available. The document provides a comprehensive overview of Mission Critical Services (MCX) standards and explores their integration with Next-Generation emergency call systems (NG112) to enhance public safety operations.

The document examines the standards and certification for MCX, highlights its critical role in emergency response, and addresses the infrastructure and interoperability needed for effective connection with NG112 systems. It also presents case studies and national initiatives that illustrate the application and benefits of MCX, while offering recommendations for future development and adoption.

By focusing on responder communication and advanced LTE/5G capabilities, this document demonstrates how integrated IP-based multimedia systems can improve situational awareness, accelerate response times, and ensure secure data sharing essential for modern emergency response.
