Together with Swisscom Broadcast AG, Hytera Mobilfunk GmbH has signed a system partnership agreement for the sales region of Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

This makes Swisscom Broadcast an important system integrator for the entire Hytera product range in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Hytera develops radio systems which are designed to meet a wide range of challenging requirements. Besides DMR and TETRA systems, Swisscom Broadcast can also implement innovative broadband solutions together with Hytera.

Frank Pauer, Deputy CSO at Hytera Mobilfunk: "We see a high market potential in Switzerland and are convinced that we have found a very competent and reliable partner in Swisscom Broadcast as a top-class, on-site system integrator who can make made-to-measure customer solutions a reality with our products." From this moment onwards, Swisscom Broadcast is not only selling all software and hardware products from the Hytera range in the region and putting them to use within their own networks but is also taking on their adaptation, expansion and integration.

"The evident expertise that both Hytera and Swisscom Broadcast have in ICT, radio communication and LTE are being connected in the perfect way with this partnership," says Emanuel Jungo, Head of Marketing & Sales at Swisscom Broadcast AG. "The customers benefit from a Swiss center of excellence, a high degree of innovative energy and custom-made radio solutions with technically fully developed products."

Both partners are highly motivated and are already getting started on their first joint projects. "We look forward to a close working relationship which will allow both companies to play to their strengths together," says Michael Fertig, Sales Director D-A-CH at Hytera Mobilfunk.
