When Officers Lose Comms.
People Lose Their Lives.
Public safety agencies need communication infrastructure that performs perfectly in the worst conditions — inside burning buildings, underground stations, steel-reinforced concrete, and mass-casualty events. HCT builds mission critical networks that hold when lives depend on them. Group reference: a national police force. MCPTT certified.
TETRA is Obsolete. MCX is the Future.
TETRA delivers 28Kbps data on channels built in the 1990s. 5G MCPTT delivers 1Gbps with full video, data, and voice — all encrypted end-to-end, all with floor arbitration under 150ms, and all without the capacity limits of analogue talkgroups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mission critical 5G for police and emergency services?
Mission critical 5G delivers MCPTT push-to-talk, MCVideo and MCData over a dedicated, sovereign cellular network built to 3GPP mission critical standards. It replaces or augments legacy TETRA with higher bandwidth for body camera streaming, live video and data, while preserving sub-second call setup.
Does HCT Group have a public safety reference?
Yes. HCT Group delivers mission critical communications referenced against a national police deployment covering 17,000 officers.
What is the difference between MCPTT and TETRA?
TETRA is a narrowband standard designed for voice and short data. MCPTT runs over LTE and 5G, keeping the sub-second push-to-talk experience while adding broadband capability such as live video, body camera streaming and high-volume data. HCT Group deploys both and supports migration between them.
Is the network sovereign and hosted in Yemen?
Yes. HCT Group deploys mission critical cores on-premises or in sovereign in-country infrastructure so that voice, video and evidentiary data remain under the operating authority's control and inside national borders.
How resilient is a mission critical network?
Mission critical deployments are engineered for redundancy at radio, transport and core layers, with fallback modes so that communications survive site, link or core failure. HCT Group designs the resilience model against the operating authority's defined SLA.
The Standard a National Police Force Relies On. Now Available for Yemeni Agencies.
HCT's public safety 5G network for a national police force serves 17,000 officers with 99.999% uptime and MCPTT floor arbitration under 150ms. This same capability is available for your agency — anywhere in Yemen.
