Vienna / Austria (pta021/17.10.2023/13:15 UTC+2)

  • Frequentis Singapore celebrates 20 years of success as it opens a new office to reinforce growth plan for Asia
  • Established in 2003, the local entity in Singapore has been staffed and actively serving the Asian market since 2013
  • The new office will act as a hub for Frequentis Asia, reflecting the company goal to become world leader in control centre solutions

The new Frequentis Singapore office opened on 13 October, signifying a significant milestone in the company's ongoing commitment to the Asian market. Located in the heart of Singapore's technology hub, One-North, the new office represents a substantial investment in the region and reflects Frequentis' dedication to serving its clients and partners throughout Asia.

Frequentis Singapore has witnessed substantial growth and evolution over the last 20 years with the team primarily focussing on serving the Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Defence sectors, as well as Maritime and Public Safety markets emerging as promising areas for future growth.

Frequentis Singapore acts as the Asia hub for the company, with key customers here including the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), and the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA). The collaboration with local system integrators, business partners, and academic institutions plays a crucial role in driving growth in Singapore and making an impact across Southeast Asia.

A highlight of the new Singapore office is the ACC Asian Competence Centre, Experience Lab, which showcases the operational capabilities of Frequentis' safety-critical solutions including various simulators for air traffic management, and the Frequentis multimedia control room solution LifeX for emergency services. In the near future, maritime, drone management, and ATM traffic optimisation demos will also be added, showcasing the company's commitment to innovation and growth.

Collaborations such as the expansion of Changi Airport and modernisation of ATM systems are indicative of the future direction of Frequentis in Singapore and the broader Asian region. These projects not only underpin the company's commitment to the region but also its dedication to shaping the future of safety-critical communication and information solutions.

"Frequentis is excited to take this significant step in establishing a stronger foothold in Singapore and throughout Asia. Our new office in Singapore demonstrates our commitment to serving our customers and partners here, and we look forward to enhancing our relationships with local and regional stakeholders and making a lasting impact within the safety-critical communications industry," says Norbert Haslacher, CEO, Frequentis AG.

The opening ceremony was attended by a variety of guests including Dr. Harald Mahrer, President of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (Wirtschaftskammer Oberösterreich – WKO), Austrian Ambassador to Singapore, Peter Guschelbauer, Sia Kheng Yok, CEO Association of Aerospace Industries Singapore, and Mr Soh Pho Theen, CANSO APAC Director, with formal speeches and a traditional Lion Dance performance.
