The collaboration between Airbus Defence and Space and Omnitronics focuses on developing interoperable gateways that bridge Agnet and TETRA technologies by Airbus with narrowband standards such as P25 and DMR, alongside advanced Omnitronics radio dispatch management systems. This partnership aims to achieve seamless integration and enhanced communications capabilities for mission-critical environments where reliable communication can mean the difference between success and failure. Airbus Defence and Space brings its position as a global leader in secure, mission-critical communication and collaboration platforms to the partnership, supporting agencies that demand reliable, intelligent, and secure systems.
Omnitronics complements this with decades of expertise in Radio over IP, dispatch systems, and interoperability solutions tailored for mission- and business-critical operations. The combination of these capabilities represents a significant advancement in addressing the complex communication needs of modern critical operations. Alain Ruinet, Head of APAC for Public Safety and Security at Airbus Defence and Space, emphasized the strategic importance of this collaboration. This partnership represents a strategic step in enhancing interoperability between different communication systems, a vital factor in mission-critical operations.
By combining Airbus' robust platforms with Omnitronics' proven technology and expertise, we aim to deliver flexible and reliable solutions tailored to the evolving needs of our customers. John Jordan, CEO of Omnitronics, highlighted the expanded capabilities this partnership enables. Partnering with Airbus allows us to extend our capabilities and contribute to next-generation critical communication systems. Together, we will explore innovative ways to improve operational efficiency and safety across multiple sectors including public safety, transportation, utilities, and event security.
The interoperability solutions being developed will address a critical gap in current communication infrastructure where different agencies and organizations often operate on incompatible systems. By creating gateways that connect Airbus technologies with widely used narrowband standards, the partnership aims to ensure that first responders, security personnel, and critical infrastructure operators can communicate effectively regardless of their equipment choices. This becomes particularly important during large-scale emergencies and cross-border operations where multiple agencies must coordinate their responses.
Airbus Defence and Space offers seamless, secure and cyber-resilient mission- and business-critical communication and collaboration tools for public safety and private organisations, as well as for users in the fields of transportation, utility and industry, healthcare, or event security. Their advanced solutions, which combine TETRA, Tetrapol, and broadband technologies, enhance situational awareness, improve user experience and safety, and optimise operational efficiency.
