Frequentis has announced it will be opening of a new office in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, which aims to deliver a sales and support service that will continue to expand the company’s worldwide network.

Frequentis AG has over 70 years of experience in safety-critical communications, developing from a midsized Austrian business into a successful and international corporate group, providing solutions and products in approximately 140 countries, with subsidiaries in more than 50 countries.

The company has been serving clients throughout the Middle East with tailor-made solutions for over 20 years with the support of strong local partners.

Frequentis has a strong working relationship with most Middle Eastern customers, including providing centre tower automation, and AIM and surveillance solutions for the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), fully IP voice communications and recording for the Saudi Air Navigation Service (SANS), and other voice communications and recording systems throughout the Middle East, as well as a maritime communications infrastructure for the Sultanate of Oman.

Frequentis has also provided a C4I Centre solution for five public safety organisations in the Middle East, allowing full radio and digital TETRA and LTE integration.

The new office base will also develop Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) capabilities into the Middle East. The STEM offering comes through Frequentis’ experience and close cooperation with universities and government organisations in Europe, and especially Austria where the company is based, enabling knowledge transfer and local connections.

Frequentis CEO, Norbert Haslacher says: “The opening of our new Abu Dhabi office is an exceptionally important strategic step for Frequentis. I am confident that the establishment of a permanent regional base will not only further improve our ability to deliver excellence to our existing and future customers but will also create local jobs for the region.

“I previously worked for two years in the Middle East and as part of my personal commitment I am visiting the area in order to talk to customers and partners, culminating in my visit to the Dubai Airport Show.”

Frequentis is exhibiting at Dubai Airport Show 7-9 May, with UAE partner Bayanat at stand 6120.
