Best Use of Critical Communications in Utilities

Best Use of Critical Communications in Utilities

    The ICCAs, presented by TCCA, are the most prestigious awards in critical communications. Celebrating excellence in the sector, the highly anticipated programme recognises the success of products, organisations and individuals that have pushed boundaries and capabilities within the field. 

    The ICCAs' ceremony took place on Tuesday 23rd May 2023 at the Scandic Park Hotel, in the heart of Helsinki. Hytera received the award of “Best use of critical communications in utilities” with its entry “LECO Electricity MCPTT” at the International Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs) 2023 ceremony held in Helsinki, Finland on May 23.

    This Mission-critical Push-to-talk (MCPTT) deployment highlights a clear path for the migration of the private communications network in the utility sector.

    Working with local partner Dialog Enterprise, Hytera has deployed a customized MCPTT system for LECO, Lanka Electricity Company (Private) Limited. As the rapid-response arm of the Ceylon Electricity Board, LECO provides electrical services to underserved areas and now works with a state-of-the-art radio communications system based on MCPTT over 4G-LTE technology to cover service grids in Galle, Moratuwa, Kalutara, Negombo, Kelaniya, Kotte, and Nugegoda.

    “This MCPTT solution operates at a higher priority than Internet services, and also having a device-to-device communication mode are huge pluses for LECO,” said Athula P. De Silva, Chairman of LECO.

    “Because when connectivity is interrupted due to unforeseeable circumstances–like a sudden violent storm, for instance–we are the professionals whose job it is to bring the network back up. With this, our dispatchers and field engineers are in constant touch since we are in complete control of our own internal communication channel. So, in the event of an outage, power can be restored much faster. We are the first line of defense against power outages. MCPTT solution is a perfect fit for our requirements.”
