In a time of increasing hybrid threats, natural disasters, and infrastructural vulnerability, civil-military cooperation (CMC) is a crucial component of the national security architecture. The Green Paper on Civil-Military Cooperation 4.0 redefines this cooperation as systematically organized, institutionalized, and process-oriented collaboration between civilian forces (e.g., civil protection, healthcare, and administration) and the Bundeswehr, geared toward shared crisis resilience.
wirelessmaxx sees itself as a technology-oriented partner in this framework. The company supports both civil authorities and military agencies with customized communications solutions, consulting services, and training programs. This puts a central idea of the Green Paper into practice: the interoperable capabilities of all actors in crisis and defense situations.
Strategic starting position
The Green Paper on ZMZ 4.0 states: "ZMZ 4.0 must be capable of being deployed in territorial crises and defense situations." wirelessmaxx addresses this requirement with highly available, redundant communications technology such as STARLINK terminals, mobile network solutions, and self-powered repeater systems. These systems ensure communications in situations where regular infrastructure is no longer available.
Training and knowledge transfer
A core element of successful centralized control and monitoring (CMC) is the participants' knowledge of structures, procedures, and technical systems. wirelessmaxx offers specially tailored training courses for emergency personnel, administrative staff, and technicians. These courses address typical scenarios outlined in the Green Paper: extended power outages, cyberattacks, or the provision of civilian support to the Bundeswehr in logistical tasks.
Advice for authorities
Many public authorities face the challenge of modernizing and interoperating their crisis communications. wirelessmaxx supports these institutions with an interdisciplinary team in the selection, implementation, and maintenance of technical systems. The consulting approaches are directly aligned with the guidelines of the Green Paper: crisis preparation, integration into existing alerting and management structures, and adaptation to applicable IT and data protection standards.
Practical applications
One example: In 2025, wirelessmaxx implemented satellite-based emergency communication at a hospital in Günzburg, Baden-Württemberg, to prevent an evacuation due to a downtime internet connection . The systems deployed were based on STARLINK technology, supplemented by mobile power supplies and redundant network architecture. This project is exemplary for the implementation of ZMZ strategies in concrete action.
Conclusion
ZMZ 4.0 requires partners who combine technical expertise, regulatory experience, and a spirit of innovation. wirelessmaxx meets these requirements and actively contributes to making Germany more resilient to crises and disasters. Its role as a training provider, technical supplier, and strategic advisor makes wirelessmaxx an integral part of the civil-military security architecture of tomorrow.
