Under the motto ‘Intelligence Shared’, Airbus features secure Virtual Reality solutions and professional communication tools.

Airbus is showcasing its latest secure communications solutions at this year’s Intersec exhibition in Dubai, the world‘s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection. These solutions are being used by security authorities to safeguard cities, ensure protection for citizens and residents, and respond to emergency incidents.

As the leading provider of secure intelligence platforms, Airbus is demonstrating Virtual Reality applications that facilitate the work of paramedics or firefighters during their operations on the scene. These technologies enable field and control room officers to support fire fighters on ground when rescuing people. Also, camera simulations and drones can be integrated into this solution.

In addition, Airbus is featuring the collaboration tool Tactilon Agnet 900 at the exhibition. This application for professional group communication allows efficient and secure exchange of information on Tetra radios and smartphones, to assist, for instance, police officers or healthcare teams. Also, the award-winning Tactilon Dabat, a Tetra radio and smartphone in one, will be on display at the booth. It received the ‘Innovative Security Product of the Year’ at Intersec Awards 2018 and the ‘Best evolution to future broadband’ category of the International Critical Communications Award 2018.

”These products make a difference in the Middle East, because they serve users in the growing commercial security market, ” commented Selim Bouri, Vice-President and Head of Middle East, North Africa and Asia-Pacific for Secure Land Communications at Airbus. ”We are keen to engage with industry leaders and our partners for mutually beneficial collaborative opportunities in the future.
