The 2022 International Critical Communications Awards took place last night, at the Kursalon in Vienna. As ever, the event celebrated the very best of the sector with awards being given across a wide range of categories. These included recognition for technical excellence as well as for outstanding deployments across a variety of verticals. Awards were also given for individual contributions to the critical communications industry.


Discussing the importance of the awards, TCCA Board chair Mladen Vratonjić said: “There is extraordinary work taking place across the critical communications ecosystem, and it’s important that this is appreciated.

“On behalf of TCCA, I thank the ICCAs judges, the winners and those who were shortlisted, and all who entered the Awards this year. I also want to thank everyone who attended the ceremony itself, making it a true meeting place for our global community.”

Chair of the ICCAs judging panel, Robin Davis from Actica Consulting, said: “The quality of entries this year was especially high, making the judges’ task incredibly difficult. As always, it was an honour to be involved and to help recognise the importance of the achievements taking place within the sector.”
