Frequentis is an Austrian high-tech company that develops communication and information systems in fields such as air traffic management and public safety & transport (police, rescue and fire services, coastal rescue, railways, shipping, and others).
Frequentis is a founding shareholder of GroupEAD Europe S.L., the service provider company operating the European Aeronautical Database on behalf of EUROCONTROL, a project related to the Single European Sky, for which it is working on the first common voice communications system for Europe.
Frequentis was founded in 1947 in post-WWII Vienna by Emanuel Strunz and Walther Hamm. The company's first contract was to assist in the construction of the Vienna II radio station. The company has since worked on a variety of different products, including steel hardening facilities and ultrasound therapy units. Frequentis constructed the air traffic control system at the Vienna International Airport.
Hannes Bardach became the managing director in 1983, and later became the owner of Frequentis. In 1999, its US subsidiary was established. The company won the GSM-R dispatcher contract by Deutsche Bahn in Germany in 2002. It won the contract to create an integrated communications system for the London Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) in 2005. The contract for building the control centre for the Norwegian public safety radio network Nødnett was obtained in 2006.
Today, Frequentis and its associated companies employ staff at locations in over 50 countries. It has an export rate of over 90%. While the core business remains the air traffic management sector, the company also builds voice communication and information systems for defence, public safety, public transport and maritime markets.
