Delivering the Future of Critical Communications

Why attend the world's leading Critical Communications Event

Uniting the Sector - Working Together to Enhance the Ecosystem

With an exhibition of leading international brands, a conference programme led by experts at the forefront of critical communications, in-depth focus forums and Government Authorities fostering collaboration across international borders - CCW is an unmissable event. Join the sector's best and brightest as you view the latest technology and forge new business relationships with partners from across the globe.

The UK Home Office Emergency Services Network (ESN) are the host operator of Critical Communications World 2026. This underscores the strategic significance of ESN’s mission and the broader evolution of mission-critical, public-safety communications. ESN is pioneering a transformation to a broadband communications network that will replace the narrowband, TETRA-based Airwave system.

2026 EXHIBITOR LIST

Focus Forums are in-depth, deep-dive sessions providing knowledge sharing and comprehensive updates in each topic area. The focused sessions will comprise multiple presentations, interactive discussions and roundtables, allowing specialists to come together to learn about developments and share their own challenges, experiences and skills.

Escorted by a member of the event team, these free-of-charge tours take a detailed look at specific areas of interest with an opportunity to meet carefully selected exhibitors and watch live product demonstrations, ask your questions, and explore new and innovative technologies. A variety of tours are scheduled across all three days, but space is limited!

Unique to CCW, this dedicated space brings governments and operators together, fostering a spirit of collaboration across international borders. Representatives of national critical communications projects discuss ideas, challenges and best practice to facilitate knowledge sharing and benchmarking.
