Resilient communications for security, critical infrastructure and defence: telent at PMRExpo 2026
Backnang, 12. November 2026 – In light of growing security challenges and increasing regulatory requirements, resilient communications networks and the reliable operation of critical infrastructure are becoming increasingly important. telent, a systems integrator specialising in critical communications, will be presenting solutions and services for the security and availability of mission- and operation-critical communications infrastructures at PMRExpo 2026 in Cologne (Hall 8.1, Stand B028). The portfolio ranges from cybersecurity services and support in implementing regulatory requirements, through solutions to improve radio coverage, to specialised services for law enforcement and emergency services (BOS), critical infrastructure operators (KRITIS) and the defence sector.
Power cuts, natural disasters, cyber-attacks and targeted sabotage highlight the wide range of risks to which critical infrastructure is exposed. Reliable and resilient communications are therefore of particular importance to public authorities and organisations with security responsibilities (BOS), operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) and the military (Defence). At the same time, regulatory requirements – such as those associated with the NIS2 EU Directive and the IT Security Act – place additional demands on information security and risk management. Redundant communication channels and coordinated security concepts can help to maintain operational capability even under exceptional conditions.
“Against the backdrop of current developments in security policy, the PMRExpo takes on particular significance,” explains Thorsten Altemöller, Account Director for Industry and Public Safety at telent. “The event brings together experts from public authorities, industry, security organisations and the defence sector, and provides an important platform for national and international exchange. In addition to the further development of secure communication solutions, civil-military cooperation is also becoming increasingly important.”
telent is contributing its expertise to the event in two capacities: as an exhibitor and as a board member of the PMeV, a network of experts for mission- and security-critical communication solutions in professional mobile operations and organiser of the PMRExpo.
As a vendor-neutral systems integrator, telent develops and implements innovative solutions and services for cyber security, secure data exchange, hybrid radio communication and resilient communications infrastructures. The focus is on the specific requirements of operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) as well as organisations in the defence and security sectors (Defence and BOS). The aim is to ensure reliable, secure and end-to-end communication, even under demanding operational conditions.
NIS2 and the IT Security Act: Support with regulatory requirements
Against the backdrop of increasing regulatory requirements, telent supports operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) as well as public authorities and organisations with security responsibilities (BOS) in implementing appropriate IT and OT security measures. The range of services extends from risk analysis and consultancy, through needs-based managed security services, to continuous security monitoring and support in 24/7 operation.
Controlled data transfer with the InDEx data gateway
For the secure and controlled exchange of sensitive data between different network domains, telent offers the enhanced InDEx data gateway. As a standalone security component, the solution supports the verification and controlled transfer of data, for example when using removable media. This enables potential security risks at critical interfaces to be specifically reduced.
Hybrid networks for public safety and security (BOS) communications and for commercial users
telent supports the further development of interoperable communications solutions for public safety and security authorities and organisations (BOS) as well as for commercial users. By combining tried-and-tested PMR infrastructures with modern broadband and 5G technologies, hybrid communications architectures are created that support both voice and data communications. This improves the conditions for cross-organisational collaboration and the exchange of information tailored to specific needs, even in complex operational situations.
Flexible in-building radio coverage for demanding operational environments
With a Software-Defined Radio (SDR)-based indoor coverage solution, telent offers flexible options for improving radio coverage within buildings. The scalable architecture allows for customisation to suit different building conditions and technical requirements. This enables existing coverage gaps to be specifically addressed and future requirements for in-building communication to be taken into account.
Full-lifecycle services for law enforcement and defence
For military and security-critical infrastructure, telent develops and supplies communication and cybersecurity solutions designed for high resilience, availability and operational reliability. The range of services covers the entire
lifecycle of the systems – from needs-based planning and implementation through to long-term support and maintenance to ensure reliable system operation.
