  • One control room, many networks: The new role of mission-critical dispatch

    One control room, many networks: The new role of mission-critical dispatch
    Nov 4 2026
    One control room, many networks: The new role of mission-critical dispatch Critical communications environments rarely stand still. Different radio technologies, location services and recording systems must often work together, while dispatchers need to keep a clear overview of what is happening.

    But what does it take to make all these systems work seamlessly - and how do you introduce new capabilities without adding complexity for the people who rely on them?

    In this episode of Making Waves, Stuart Will and Lone Hansen are joined by Jeff Hunt, Vice President of Alliances, and Michael Clarke, Senior Communications Consultant at Omnitronics, to discuss the challenges shaping modern dispatch and the decisions that will influence its future.

    Drawing on their experience across critical communications projects, Jeff and Michael share their perspectives on interoperability, evolving customer expectations and the growing importance of operational information. They also explore why understanding the dispatcher’s everyday needs is essential when developing solutions for increasingly complex environments.

    The conversation looks beyond today’s control room to consider what may be changing next - and how the industry can balance innovation with the reliability and practicality that mission-critical operations demand.

    What you’ll discover
    • The challenges driving the evolution of mission-critical dispatch
    • Why connecting different technologies is only part of the interoperability challenge
    • How changing operational needs are influencing the way dispatch solutions develop
    • What organisations should consider when modernising existing communications infrastructure
    • Which developments could shape the control room of the future

  • Beyond replacement: Building the next generation of mission-critical communications

    Beyond replacement: Building the next generation of mission-critical communications
    Oct 20 2026
    The debate over whether broadband will replace traditional radio has been going on for years. But the networks people rely on do not exist in isolation.

    TETRA, DMR and other LMR systems continue to carry critical communications, while broadband is opening up new possibilities for data, video, applications and connectivity. So how do you bring the two together without losing what already works?

    In this episode of Making Waves, Stuart Will and Lone Hansen are joined by Kaveh Hosseinzadeh, Managing Director of TASSTA, and Pascal Béglin, CEO of Streamwide, to explore what hybrid communications really mean for mission-critical operations.

    The conversation moves beyond the replacement debate and into the practical realities of connecting existing PMR networks with broadband capabilities. Kaveh and Pascal discuss what customers are trying to achieve, why interoperability and mutual aid matter, and what Mission Critical Services (MCX) actually bring to people using these systems in the field.

    They also look at the role of 3GPP standards, different approaches to integrating existing networks, and why the right solution depends on factors such as network size, coverage, operational requirements and the way communications are used.

    What you’ll discover
    • Why the LMR versus broadband debate may be missing the bigger picture
    • What MCX means for end users beyond push-to-talk
    • Why interoperability and mutual aid are central to hybrid communications
    • What 3GPP standards bring to mission-critical communications
    • What organisations need to consider when connecting existing PMR networks with broadband
    • Why different operational environments call for different integration approaches
    • Where AI could add new capabilities to mission-critical communications
    About the guests

    Kaveh Hosseinzadeh is Managing Director of TASSTA and has a background in TETRA, network integration and mission-critical communications. He has worked with radio systems and technologies across different markets and has focused on bringing traditional PMR capabilities together with MCX and broadband.

    Pascal Béglin is CEO and co-founder of Streamwide. A telecommunications engineer, he has worked extensively with mission-critical broadband and MCX solutions, including deployments supporting public safety organisations in Europe and the US.

  • Beyond the drone: Building mission-ready unmanned systems

    Beyond the drone: Building mission-ready unmanned systems
    Oct 6 2026
    What does it take to turn a drone into something you can actually depend on in a mission?

    Drones and other unmanned systems are advancing rapidly, but the platform itself is only part of the story. The real challenge begins when it has to operate as part of a wider mission - connected, resilient, secure and able to deliver the right information to the right people.

    In this episode of Making Waves, hosts Stuart Will and Lone Hansen are joined by Glenn Møller, Strategic Account Director Defence at NORTHCOM, and Kenneth Hubner, Group Chief Product Officer at NORTHCOM, to explore what it takes to move from an impressive unmanned platform to a genuine operational capability.

    The conversation goes beyond the drone itself. Glenn and Kenneth explain why connectivity may be the most underestimated part of an unmanned system, why no single network can meet every critical communications requirement, and how terrestrial networks, private 5G, PMR and satellite connectivity could increasingly work together as a network of networks.

    They also discuss what changes when you move from five drones to hundreds or thousands, why systems integration becomes increasingly important, and why the Nordic environment has become such a demanding testing ground for new defence and autonomy technologies.

    What you’ll discover in this conversation:
    • Why buying a capable drone is very different from creating an operational capability.
    • Why connectivity is one of the most underestimated parts of an unmanned system.
    • How PMR, 5G, private networks and satellite connectivity can work together.
    • What happens when you move from a handful of drones to large-scale fleets.
    • Why system integration can matter as much as the platform itself.
    • What the Nordic environment can teach us about building resilient unmanned systems.
    • Why the future could see unmanned platforms operating as integrated fleets across air, land and sea.

    ABOUT:
    Glenn Møller | Strategic Account Director Defence, NORTHCOM
    With extensive experience in drones, unmanned systems and radio integration, Glenn works with customers and technology providers to turn individual platforms into operational capabilities.
