Business continuity success for Airwave

Mission-critical communication services provider Airwave has won the ‘Resilience in Infrastructure and IT Service Delivery’ award for the second year running at the 2016 CIR Business Continuity Awards.

Judges examined how planning for continuity was integrated into a wider strategy, particularly how innovation and scalability are used for the best levels of resilience in IT service delivery.

Airwave chief operating officer John Lewis said: “We are proud that we have once again been recognised for the quality of the resilient infrastructure on the Airwave network and for the advanced emergency planning and business continuity processes that run throughout Airwave to keep the service running through the toughest conditions.”

The Airwave network is used by the UK’s emergency services and public safety agencies and covers 99 per cent of Great Britain.
