Critical Messaging - from Reality to the Future


First partial conference in May 2021

The board of the Critical Messaging Association has decided on a series of half-day conferences on the specific issues of professional security- related communication. The first event will take place on May 18, 2021 and will be dedicated to the topic of Public Safety. With experts, CMA members and leading representatives of those responsible for the communication of the security forces from the countries of the members, i.e. from the USA, Europe and Australia, as well as speakers including high- level ones, academia and industry, gladly going beyond. The preparations and, in particular, the calls for substantive participation will be followed especially on the account http://bit.ly/CMA_LinkedInA.

The first event - as presumably also the two following ones on the topics "Warning" and "Industry and Control" will take place as a video-based conference.

Experts will present their views on effectively ensuring and enhancing technical safety communications. Focus on linking reality, risk assessment, mobile infrastructure independence, among others.

Users of governmental or related to governmental infrastructures de- scribed how the challenge, in particular, of summoning emergency responders is being met and will be met today and in the future and a roundtable discussion will provide an opportunity for attendees to ask questions of the presenters and for discussion.
Everyone who is interested in these themes is invited to participate in this conference.

The exact registration modalities - how and when to register - and all further information will be announced at a later date and will be published on our homepage https://www.critmsg.org.

CMA Press Release January 19, 2021 16:50

CMA successfully completes 2020

  • Critical messaging has gained even greater importance in crisis situations
  • CMA members particularly engaged in healthcare, emergency response alerting, industry, lone worker security and supply chain logistics
  • A white spot in the communications industry needs to be filled

The Critical Messaging Association, a global association of stakeholders
in alternative communications, has had a successful year. Success is defined primarily by the expansion of market access for member companies and increased recognition of specialised communications in times of particularly critical situations. 2020 was such a year. CMA members are particularly involved in healthcare, alerting action forces of firefighters and industry, securing lone workers outside the office, and in some countries as market leaders in ensuring the supply chain in logistics. More than in the past, the technology of paging and Narrow Band Point to Multipoint (NP2M) is also used for secure control in the energy sector, here also for the "New Energy". With machine-to-machine applications.

More exchange and more member success

More than double compared to the pre-Corona years, members had come together in 2020. Shorter than usual and via video conference, but with content-heavy agendas. At #CMAweb20 in the spring, Madelene Persson of Swedish operator Generic Mobile, among others, reported on the increased appeal of the offerings and their resonance in social media. The #CMAJuly30 conference was also used for the last alignment of the contents of the association's own homepage.

Via www.critmsg.org, services and documents can now be freely viewed that otherwise had to be painstakingly gathered together. Jenna Richardsen of top U.S. operator American Messaging was able to outline the increased adoption of services offered in healthcare. Now - in pandemic times - more than ever needed.
