Hytera, a leading global provider of professional communications technologies and solutions, was awarded the “Best Use of Critical Communications in Transport” at 2025 International Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs) in Brussels on June 17, for its “HK MTR Light Rail 2.0 with 5G MCX Radio System” project. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Hytera’s MCX solutions have received ICCAs since 2022.
Hytera deployed the 5G MCX system for the Hong Kong MTR, integrating MCPTT, MCVideo, and MCData over public 5G network. The solution is expected to enhance safety, intelligence, and operational efficiency, supporting smarter and more sustainable transit. In the project, Hytera’s 5G MCX solution demonstrates how mission-critical communication technology can transform urban transit, setting a new benchmark for safer, smarter, and more efficient systems worldwide.
Presented by The Critical Communications Association (TCCA), ICCAs are regarded as the most prestigious awards in the industry. Celebrating excellence in the sector, the highly anticipated annual programme recognizes the success of products, organizations and individuals that have pushed boundaries and capabilities within the field. Winning this award affirms the value and effectiveness of Hytera’s MCX solution in real-world deployment, demonstrating measurable improvements in safety, efficiency, and sustainability for Hong Kong’s MTR Light Rail.
