“The expanded collaboration between Cassidian and APSI underlines Cassidian’s commitment to creating an effective and diverse TEDS ecosystem,” said Jean-Marc Nasr, head of secure communication solutions at Cassidian.

Cassidian, an EADS company, and the Korean equipment manufacturer Asia Pacific Satellite communications Inc. (APSI) started pre-interoperability (IOP) tests between TETRA networks from Cassidian and TETRA Enhanced Data Services (TEDS) modems from APSI. The cooperation aims to develop TETRA- and TEDS-enabled modem products that address the critical data transfer needs of a range of industries.

The companies are also expanding their existing partnership in developing TETRA terminals to include TEDS technology and data-oriented products for stationary applications, such as smart grids, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and sensor networks.

“The expanded collaboration between Cassidian and APSI underlines Cassidian’s commitment to creating an effective and diverse TEDS ecosystem,” said Jean-Marc Nasr, head of secure communication solutions at Cassidian.

“Our cooperation will foster the growth and development of the TEDS market both in Korea and on a global scale,” said Ryoo Jang-soo, CEO of APSI. “We are proud to continue our long-term partnership with Cassidian and are convinced that the new portfolio will further increase the TETRA technology footprint in the industrial and utility markets as well.”
