Airbus Leverages AI for Secure Comms

Airbus showcased their latest secure communications solutions at Intersec, a security, safety, and fire protection trade show, that recently took place in Dubai. At the event, Airbus was present both on their own stand and on Nedaa, the Dubai Government security networks provider’s pavilion.

The innovations displayed included the collaboration tool, Tactilon Agnet, which has both application and platform features, secure and reliable Tetra group communications at the touch of a button, as well as efficient and secure information exchange between Tetra radios and smartphones. It is also used for assisting police officers or security personnel.

When something unexpected happens, there is no spare time. With Tactilon Agnet help is at hand by pressing the dedicated emergency button. Emergency calls get extreme priority, and can be seen and heard clearly. The position of the alerting device can also be tracked and shown on a map.

The award-winning Tactilon Dabat, a Tetra radio and smartphone in one, was also on display. Dabat Hybrid Roaming, a unique association between Airbus’s Tactilon Dabat hybrid terminal, and Tactilon Agnet, was demonstrated for the first time at year’s event.

Dabat Hybrid Roaming brings ease and simplicity to daily operations with state-of-the-art seamless switchover technology from TETRA to LTE, which ensures high network resilience and secure operations, at all times. Android features and special design for radio use make Tactilon Dabat a smart, strong and secure device for public safety. It can save organisations time, money and resources, and lives.

In addition, the company also showcased various projects around the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for mission-critical application. The latter include facial, license plate, and object recognition, which run on the Tactilon Agnet mission-critical collaborative platform integrated with other systems through Application Programming Interface (APIs) such as AI services.

“Safety and security is high on the agenda of the UAE Vision 2021, and there is a constant need for safety, security, and mission-critical solutions like the ones presented at the event,” said Andrew Forbes, Head of Middle East and North Africa region for Secure Land Communications at Airbus. “Intersec demonstrated the latest technologies and solutions dedicated to meeting the demand of Middle East’s market. The UAE security market is flourishing, and plays a crucial role in improving business efficiencies, especially for government and law enforcement agencies. This year, Airbus highlighted solutions and demos that are critical for first responders in emergency situations.”
