Airwave launched in Germany
Airwave has launched a German-based operation from which it plans to develop new business opportunities in what will become one of the largest TETRA network in Europe.
Airwave plans to work closely with local partners to deliver technical and operational consultancy services as well as a portfolio of ‘managed service’ solutions aimed at the 16 Lander regions.
The company specialises in mission critical communications solutions and has delivered the world’s largest national infrastructure utilising TETRA, the technology to be used in Germany. The company is already fulfilling two contracts with the Hamburg Lander. One is to verify the design of the new communications system installed on the city’s 80km underground railway network and the second is to test part of the system once it is built.
Chief Executive Richard Bobbett said: “A co-ordinated emergency response relies on the ability to share information with the right people at the right time. To achieve this, the German government is building a similar network to that which we delivered in the UK. We hope that our unique experience and expertise will be of value in Germany, helping to ensure the country’s national system is delivered on time and to quality and budget.”
Located in Hamburg, the formation of Airwave GmbH builds on the success of Airwave’s unique UK operation which provides resilient and interoperable communications to some 350 public safety organisations including the police, fire and ambulance services and a private mobile radio service for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
