2026 PARTNERS AND ASSOCIATIONS

CCW is proud to welcome a host of leading industry associations dedicated to supporting the critical communications community and helping organisations navigate an increasingly complex and fast-evolving landscape. These influential bodies play a vital role in driving standards, encouraging collaboration, sharing expertise, and supporting the future development of the sector.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect directly with representatives from some of the industry’s most respected organisations, gaining valuable insight, guidance, and access to the latest thinking on regulation, technology, interoperability, and best practice.

3GPP / ETSI

ETSI provides an open, inclusive and collaborative environment for the development and testing of globally applicable standards for ICT-enabled systems, services and applications. Uniting over 950 members across more than 60 countries, ETSI is a front-runner in producing standards and specifications for telecommunications and other digital technologies that industry, citizens and communities depend on daily.

From the evolution of TETRA to 4G/5G mission-critical services and from the next-generation emergency communications such as NG112, NG eCall and PEMEA, ETSI and 3GPP are actively advancing standards for public safety & critical communications.

3GPP specifications cover cellular technologies, including radio access, core network and service capabilities – Providing a complete system description for mobile telecommunications. 3GPP LTE, 5G and burgeoning 6G ecosystems allow for global network evolution, at the appropriate pace for the market need and the local state of readiness. The 3GPP model is one that maximises on its compatibility with legacy 3GPP infrastructure and equipment, delivering the promise of an ecosystem that can support a growing number of use cases.

450 Alliance

The 450 MHz Alliance (450A) is the industry association that represents the interests of all the 450 MHz spectrum stakeholders. The 450 MHz Alliance brings together operators, spectrum owners and investors as well as equipment, terminal and solutions vendors to drive the development of mobile networks in the 450 MHz frequency band worldwide, share experiences, develop best practice, push standards, create volume and thereby support all its members in their 450 MHz business case.

The 450 MHz Alliance was founded as an independent organization de facto replacing the former and successful 450 MHz Special Interest Group at CDG by embracing all wireless technologies available for the band. We strongly believe in the potential of the 450 MHz spectrum. Its unique characteristics and current positioning open up many sound business opportunities.

European Utilities Telecom Council (EUTC)

Technology is rapidly changing the role of telecom in Europe’s electric, gas and water utilities, energy companies and other critical infrastructure companies. Many are using their vast experience in building and managing sophisticated telecommunications networks to enter Europe’s new competitive telecoms markets. Many are also facing issues introducing new wireless communications systems and managing internal telecoms businesses in a shared services environment. Moreover, critical infrastructure has experienced spectacular changes resulting from the adaptation to new EU regulations for sustainability.

To face both challenges, the EUTC has modified its legal status by becoming independent from UTC and has developed programs which are led and designed by Europeans, and uniquely European in focus.
