The International Critical Communications Awards (ICCAs), presented by TCCA, are the most prestigious awards in critical communications. Celebrating excellence in the sector, the highly anticipated annual programme recognises the success of products, organisations and
individuals that have pushed boundaries and capabilities within the field.
The awards are open to any organisation or individual with a compelling story to tell that has a positive impact on the critical communications world.
The individuals behind these are what fuels the sector, and the ICCAs acknowledge the most influential personalities, with categories including TCCA Young Engineer of the Year and the Phil Kidner Outstanding Contribution to Critical Communications award.

“We are honored to be awarded in the International Critical Communications Awards in the category of ‘Emerging technology, product or solution’ with our Nokia Drone Networks solution. This is the first time ever, even for Nokia as a company, to be awarded in the ICCAs, so this is a big win, not only for the Nokia Drone Networks team, but also for the whole company. We know this is a big recognition in the public safety space. A big thank you to the TCCA organization and the judges"
