In this episode we share some of our key highlights from CCW 2023, product announcements that caught our eye, and what we learned from the show this year.

The theme this year was "Success in Cooperation", reflecting the fact that five nations - Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Estonia - acted as hosts. This theme was further emphasised by the increased number of organisations participating and the cooperative effort seen througout the event.

A major topic of discussion from the event was the transition from narrowband networks to broadband networks for mission critical communications. This transition is complex and time-consuming, requiring strategic alignment among different stakeholders. The timeline for this transition that emerged from the presentations seems to be set, perhaps optimistically, for the early 2030s.

We also discuss some of the ICCA award winners, some of the devices we saw, the demos, and the sessions attended and hosted.

CCW 2024 will be held in Dubai between the 14-16th May. See you there!
