- About
- Vienna-headquartered, listed, with more than 75 years of experience in safety-critical communication and information systems and roughly 1,000 to 5,000 employees. The company began in control-centre voice communications and built out into five core competence areas: air traffic management, defence, public safety, maritime and public transport, with airports and specialised communications (including space) alongside. Public safety systems alone are in use across 18 countries and five continents. Tagline: experts for a safer world. DEFENCE PORTFOLIO, stated explicitly: secure voice, digital tower, advanced military air traffic control, networks, command and control, and recording. DRONES AND UTM. Frequentis runs a dedicated drones line within its innovation portfolio and has been publicly explicit about the distinction between air traffic management and uncrewed traffic management. Its drone data-sharing project with the Norwegian ANSP Avinor won the ATM Excellence Award at Airspace World in Geneva in March 2023, and it has run a national UTM project with Estonia. The ADELE project with the Rostock fire department, in collaboration with Vodafone, tested automated drone deployment supporting emergency response over 5G mission-critical services.
