News and Press releases about PMRExpo and PMeV.

The digitalPMRExpo 2020 from 24 to 26 November has made a successful debut with international appeal: 2540 participants from 83 countries met at the digital trade fair with 29 national and international exhibitors and 27 media partners. The exhibitors presented products and innovations from the world of professional mobile communication and security-critical communication in their digital exhibition stands.

More than 1000 participants as well as national and international exhibitors and media partners have already registered for the leading European trade fair for secure communication. Even though the physical fair in the exhibition hall will not take place this year, The digitalPMRExpo in 2020 offers visitors and exhibitors a platform to find out about the latest developments, further advance their business and expand their contact networks.

PMRExpo 2020 will be presented as a digital event from November 24th to 26th, 2020: digitalPMRExpo 2020 will open its digital gates to visitors from all over the world on all three days of the fair from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. National and international exhibitors will present their products and innovations in the field of secure communication at digital exhibition stands.

The PMRExpo 2020 will be held this year on 24-26 November. Across an exhibition space of some 4,900 square metres, this year we again look forward to over 230 national and international exhibitors from all continents presenting their products, services and innovations. The strong internationalisation of the PMRExpo was reflected in 2019 in the new record number of nearly 4,600 visitors from security authorities and organisations (BOS), the industry, and sectors ranging from energy and passenger transport to logistics and the specialist trade.

The PMRExpo 2019 was a top worldwide event with global reach: on 26-28 November 2019, more than 230 national and international exhibitors from 22 countries and all continents gathered in Cologne to present their businesses across an exhibition space of some 4,900 square metres. Products and presentations at the PMRExpo 2019 were characterised by diversity, technical change and technological openness. The clear internationalisation of the PMRExpo is also reflected in the new record number of close to 4,600 visitors from security authorities and organisations (BOS), the industry, and sectors ranging from energy and passenger transport to logistics and the specialist trade. Jens Lampe (Phonak Communications) summarises the development of the PMRExpo from the perspective of exhibitors: ‘The trade fair continues to expand on an international level beyond the boundaries of Europe. We have noted a strong increase in visitors from outside of Europe.’

PMRExpo 2019 is ready for take-off: from 26 to 28 November 2019, the leading European trade fair for secure communications will welcome exhibitors and visitors from all over the world to the Koelnmesse, the exhibition grounds in Cologne. Over the course of the three days, over 230 exhibitors from Germany and across the globe will present their products over an area of 4,900 m². 88 international exhibitors from 21 countries and all five continents will take part. PMRExpo is a top global event in the sector. Over 4,300 visitors from Security Authorities and Organisations (BOS), the industry, energy sector, passenger transport, logistics and specialist trade are expected to attend PMRExpo at the Koelnmesse.

In 2019, the PMRExpo will again expand and underscore its claim to be a top global event of the sector. Exhibitors from across the world will present products, solutions and the latest innovations in the field of secure communication and professional mobile communication at the PMRExpo. An extensive programme of presentations complementing the exhibition will once again ensure the success of PMRExpo. A key element of this success are our specialist forums. The five specialist forums which will take place across the three days of PMRExpo are organised as open, freely accessible information events held in a central venue in the Forum in the centre of the exhibition (Stand C23). Experience and know-how will be presented and discussed at the following 2019 forums: Emergency Services Forum, Mission-Critical Broadband Forum for Electricity Suppliers (in English), Radio Systems Forum, Specialist Trade Forum and DMR Forum (in English).

At the Summit Secure Communication from 26th–28th November, experts at the PMRExpo 2019 will offer knowledgeable insights into the latest trends and innovations in security-critical communication. In addition to the usual presentations, interactive themed tables and discussion panels with more than 30 experts will be offered for the first time. The key topics include cybercrime, broadband communication, the use of drones and cloud-based demand and control centres.

The Energy Industry Symposium will take place on 27 November at PMRExpo 2019 at Koelnmesse. The symposium is aimed at representatives of energy suppliers and municipal utilities and will examine issues of security-critical communication from the sector’s perspective. Matthias Lampe (KAITEC GmbH), moderator of the symposium, describes the challenges the sector currently faces in regard to security-critical communication: ‘Especially for companies whose core business - such as securing the energy supply - absolutely relies on secure (mobile) communication, the current situation appears diffuse. The only systems for mobile, mission-critical TETRA and DMR communication currently available do not offer adequate data transmission rates for broadband applications. Whether frequencies will be available in Germany in future for private mission-critical 4G or 5G systems to replace the TETRA and DMR systems is not yet clear.’ For the time being, frequencies for digital bundle radio systems in the 410 to 430 MHz range are being allocated only up to the end of 2025.

The programme of the 19th PMRExpo, taking place on 26-28 November 2019 at Koelnmesse, the Cologne trade fair grounds, has been finalised. Outstanding speakers will present hot topics and trends at the Secure Communications Summit and the Energy Industry Symposium at the leading international trade fair for secure communication. In addition to the usual presentations, for the first time we are offering interactive roundtables and discussion sessions with more than 30 experts on the four key topics of the PMRExpo 2019: Security in critical infrastructures, broadband solutions, the Internet of Life Saving Things and cloud solutions. Beyond these four key issues, the Secure Communications Summit | Focus: Command and Control Centres and the Energy Industry Symposium will again focus on command and control centres and on secure communication in the energy industry.

The 19th PMRExpo takes place on 26-28 November 2019 at Koelnmesse, the Cologne trade fair grounds. Herbert Reul, Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia, is the patron of the event. Spread over an area of 4,800 m², more than 230 international exhibitors will present their products and current innovations in the professional mobile radio sector within the show. In the vehicles section, visitors can experience state-of-the-art service vehicles. Recent years have made the PMRExpo become Europe’s leading fair for secure communications, which can boast of impressive growth in this period. More than 4,300 visitors from across the globe are expected at the PMRExpo 2019. It offers them a platform for international networking and the exchange of know-how.
