The PMRExpo is the event for secure, high-performance, and future-proof communication solutions for critical infrastructures. This year, siticom takes center stage on an exciting mission: demonstrating how private 5G campus networks, temporary mobile networks, network orchestration, and innovative use cases are transforming the industry. Our vision for the expo: Solutions that work Critical communication cannot afford weaknesses. Whether on construction sites, in tunnels, during rescue operations, or in control centers, our mission is clear: to deliver reliable, flexible, and secure networks for every scenario. As an integrator, we design the infrastructure, develop the use cases, and operate the networks tailored to meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. Private 5G: The centerpiece of transformation Imagine a network that’s entirely yours. Private 5G campus networks offer not only high bandwidth and low latency but also full control over your data and security. Industries like manufacturing, rescue operations, and critical IoT applications benefit from customized connectivity—with maximum flexibility. Rescue Service Ecosystem: Secure Mobile Communication in Critical Infrastructures Real-world example: There are locations where standard networks simply fall short. Temporary mobile networks deliver secure and fast connections exactly where needed. They’re ideal for construction sites, large-scale events, or disaster relief operations. Partnering with FBI GmbH, we provide reliable 5G connectivity in extreme environments, such as the Stuttgart 21 tunnels, where our mobile lab has identified 5G as a potential game-changer . Use Case Development: Innovation that matters At siticom, we believe a network is only as good as the applications it supports. That’s why we analyze our customers’ requirements down to the smallest detail to develop tailored solutions—from IoT sensor integration in production environments to secure communication for non-desk employees. Looking ahead: With partners like Blackpin , we are advancing secure human-to-machine and human-to-human communication. Whether in control rooms or during field operations, we seamlessly connect people and devices. Our collaboration with Druid Software  enhances this further by providing a robust and high-performance 5G core infrastructure, enabling secure and scalable private networks. Meanwhile, MissionBuddies  supports next-generation control room solutions, ensuring seamless coordination and communication for critical operations. Together, these partnerships empower us to deliver comprehensive solutions tailored to the most demanding environments. Trends 2025: Ready for the future The coming years will bring significant changes to communication technology. Here are the top trends shaping our work: NIS-2 and KRITIS compliance: Stricter security regulations make it essential to build more resilient and compliant networks. No problem for us: Our integrated management system ensures top-level compliance with six ISO certifications, covering information security, data protection, and quality management. Edge Computing: Localized data processing minimizes latency—ideal for critical applications like rescue missions and manufacturing workflows. AI in networks: Predictive fault detection and automatic optimization are making networks smarter and more efficient. Why siticom? Because we don’t just design, build, and operate networks—we take them further. Our goal is to empower communication technologies to serve those who need them most. Visit us at PMRExpo 2024 and experience how we, together with our partners, are shaping the future of critical communication. Let’s make networks work—for today, tomorrow, and the challenges ahead.

As the FinTech sector continues to evolve, cloud-native transformation has become essential for achieving agility, scalability, and compliance. Yet, this shift is not without its challenges. FinTech companies face high processing demands, slow deployment cycles, cost management complexities, the need for bare-metal reduction, and the push towards distributed infrastructures. Addressing these issues requires strategic planning, specialized expertise, and a structured approach to modernization. In this article, we explore how FinTech firms can overcome these hurdles, including skill gaps and business case considerations, to effectively harness cloud-native technologies. Key findings by CNCF, 2024: Companies are in need for multi-cloud strategies, yet skill-gaps and security challenges are major concerns Escaping the End-of-Life Trap FinTech organizations often depend on legacy infrastructure, which, while reliable, restricts their capacity for innovation and hinders responsiveness to market demands. These aging systems often lack compatibility with cloud-native platforms, affecting scalability and agility. Beyond these technical limitations, there are compelling business cases for modernization. With strategic platform engineering, transitioning to cloud-native platforms can streamline processes, reduce operational costs, and elevate service quality. However, skill gaps pose a significant challenge. As cloud-native technologies become more sophisticated, firms may struggle to find the expertise needed to manage these new environments. A phased migration strategy helps address this by focusing on critical services initially, thereby minimizing operational risks while incrementally building in-house capabilities. By investing in modern platforms like Kubernetes, FinTech companies can achieve faster deployments, enhanced reliability, and a more seamless developer experience. Hybrid Infrastructure: The Cloud Experience On-Premise While some FinTech firms are ready to fully embrace the public cloud, others hesitate due to regulatory or data sovereignty concerns. Many are opting for a hybrid approach, which combines the flexibility and scalability of cloud computing within their own data centers. This model benefits greatly from platform engineering, as it introduces tools and practices that support cost management, avoid vendor lock-in, and provide a consistent user experience across both on-premise and cloud environments. A cloud-agnostic orchestration layer can provide the necessary flexibility to integrate across different environments without tying firms to a single provider. Additionally, application management abstraction streamlines operations, enabling developers and operations teams to enjoy a consistent experience, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. Aligning data residency strategies with regulatory requirements ensures that sensitive financial data is safeguarded while firms capitalize on cloud capabilities. Navigating the Risks: Security, Compliance, and Operational Disruptions While cloud-native transformation brings many benefits, it also entails risks. Security is a primary concern, especially when managing sensitive financial data during migration. Compliance with regulations such as GDPR and PCI-DSS is essential, as non-compliance can lead to severe financial and reputational impacts. Moreover, migrating from legacy to cloud-native environments can lead to operational disruptions, which can affect customer trust and financial performance. A journey with risks: Every transformation process poses threats for operations and budget Mitigating these risks requires a robust multi-cloud governance, security, and compliance strategy. Embedding these elements throughout the transformation process helps minimize vulnerabilities and control costs. Similar Challenges Across Sectors: Healthcare, Insurance, and Media The hurdles FinTech companies face in cloud-native transformation are not unique. Other industries such as healthcare, insurance, and media share similar concerns, particularly around data security, regulatory compliance, and scalability. Healthcare providers, for instance, must protect patient data while adopting cloud technologies to improve service delivery. Insurance companies also manage vast amounts of personal data and face strict regulatory requirements, much like FinTech firms. The media industry, meanwhile, relies on high scalability and low latency to deliver seamless content experiences to users, which is comparable to the needs of financial service providers.
