London, UK – Critical Communications World (CCW) 2026 – As broadband mission-critical communications continue to accelerate globally across public safety, transportation, utilities, and critical infrastructure sectors, technology providers enabling the underlying MCX ecosystem are playing an increasingly strategic role. Among them, Softil is strengthening its position as a key enabler of standards-based mission-critical services through its comprehensive suite of MCX development tools and software frameworks.

In an exclusive interview with MCXTEND and Comunicaciones Críticas during Critical Communications World 2026, Sagi Subocki, VP Products and Marketing at Softil, shared insights into the company's heritage, its role within the mission-critical communications ecosystem, and the growing demand for standards-compliant MCX technologies.

Three Decades of Communications Technology Expertise

While Softil today is widely recognized within the communications software industry, its roots trace back more than three decades. According to Subocki, the company originated under the Radvision brand, a pioneer in communications technologies that later became part of Avaya in 2012.

Subsequent organizational transitions saw the technology business unit become part of Spirent in 2014 before evolving into an independent privately held company in 2017. Despite these corporate transformations, Softil has maintained a consistent mission: enabling communications innovation through advanced developer tools and software frameworks.

"Our focus from the very beginning and continuing today has been providing developer tools for the communications industry, serving enterprise, telecommunications, and mission-critical communications markets," explained Subocki.

Enabling the Next Generation of MCX Services

As public safety agencies and critical infrastructure operators continue their migration from legacy narrowband systems toward broadband mission-critical networks, interoperability and standards compliance remain among the industry's highest priorities.

Softil's solution portfolio addresses these challenges by providing middleware and software development kits (SDKs) that simplify the implementation of 3GPP Mission Critical Services (MCX) and emerging Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) standards.

The company's technology framework encompasses a broad range of essential mission-critical functions, including:

• Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT)

• Mission Critical Data (MCData)

• Mission Critical Video (MCVideo)

• Authentication and authorization mechanisms

• End-to-end security and encryption

• Group and identity management

• Key management services

• Standardized MCX interfaces and procedures

By abstracting much of the complexity associated with standards implementation, Softil enables equipment manufacturers, application developers, system integrators, and service providers to accelerate deployment timelines while ensuring compliance with evolving industry requirements.

Supporting a Growing MCX Ecosystem

The rapid expansion of broadband mission-critical communications was clearly visible throughout CCW 2026, where discussions increasingly centered around MCX adoption, private 5G, interoperability, and converged communications strategies.

Reflecting on the event's momentum, Subocki noted the exceptionally high level of industry engagement.

"This is a very impressive CCW indeed," he said. "I think I have the most booked agenda and calendar ever."

His observation highlights the growing market interest surrounding mission-critical broadband technologies as organizations worldwide advance digital transformation initiatives and seek to modernize operational communications environments.

A Strategic Building Block for Mission-Critical Transformation

While network operators, device manufacturers, and application vendors often receive significant attention within the critical communications landscape, middleware and software framework providers remain fundamental to enabling interoperability and accelerating innovation.

As governments, public safety agencies, railway operators, and critical infrastructure organizations increasingly adopt broadband mission-critical services, standards-compliant development platforms such as those offered by Softil are expected to play a crucial role in reducing implementation complexity and supporting ecosystem-wide interoperability.

With decades of communications expertise and a continued focus on MCX and FRMCS enablement, Softil remains positioned as a key technology partner supporting the evolution of next-generation mission-critical communications worldwide.
