Airbus and Streamwide achieve key step in 4G/5G mission-critical comms

Airbus and Streamwide have demonstrated the interoperability of the Streamwide mission-critical services (MCX) client software for smartphones with Airbus Key Management System (KMS) server. This milestone is a key step in delivering secure solutions based on 3GPP standards to customers in the scope of critical communications.

With the incorporation of the KMS server to the Tactilon Agnet product solution, Airbus is committed to improving and securing the communications of governmental agencies and enterprises in their day-to-day operations by providing interoperable up-to-date technologies for critical services such as voice, video, messaging, geolocation and custom applications.

The KMS is an element of the 3GPP specification for MCX Critical Communication, and it is the central point for generating the security key material to both the smartphone client and the group management server (GMS) on the MCX server side. This is the foundation of the security and end-to-end encryption of group communications for all organisations relying on secure and reliable critical communication solutions.

The common integration of the solutions from Airbus and Streamwide demonstrates the ability of both companies to design, integrate and deliver technologies aligned with the 3GPP standards. Both companies are committed to supporting customers in the long term with proven and standardised technologies.
