ASTRID selects Frequentis LifeX for Belgium's ComHub emergency communications modernisation. ASTRID, the communication provider for Belgium's emergency and security services, has selected Frequentis to deliver its LifeX communication platform as part of the nationwide ComHub modernisation programme. The project will strengthen how emergency calls are handled and responders are dispatched, helping police, fire, and medical services deliver faster, more coordinated support across Belgium. "Frequentis brings proven expertise in delivering mission-critical communications for emergency services. Through ComHub, we are creating a modern communication environment that will help emergency centre operators support citizens even more effectively today while preparing Belgium's emergency services for the challenges and opportunities ahead," said Christophe Grégoire, CTO, ASTRID. The platform is designed to meet upcoming European NG112 standards, including supporting real-time text, changing public communication habits, and broader accessibility needs. It will also support a seamless path towards ASTRID's future Mission Critical Services (MCX) network, supporting the evolution of public safety communications in the years ahead. To support both the people who call for help and the teams working on the front line to protect communities across Belgium, ASTRID is investing in proven technology from Frequentis to create a resilient foundation for emergency response. "This project is about ensuring that emergency services can communicate and collaborate effectively. Together with ASTRID, we are building a future-ready environment that strengthens emergency response across Belgium," says Thomas Pilsl, Frequentis Senior Vice President Public Safety.

PANSA deploys FREQUENTIS X10 to modernise Poland's air traffic communications. Poland, August 2026 - The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) has deployed FREQUENTIS' next-generation X10 Voice Communication System (VCS), strengthening the country's air traffic management capabilities while supporting greater operational resilience, flexibility and future digitalisation. The deployment represents another milestone in the long-standing collaboration between PANSA and FREQUENTIS. PANSA manages approximately 3,000 flights every day, overseeing one of Europe's largest airspaces, making reliable and resilient communications a critical component of safe and efficient air traffic operations. X10 enables virtualised air traffic control operations. The new X10 platform provides PANSA with an advanced IT-based voice communications environment capable of supporting a virtual centre configuration, enabling seamless interconnection between air traffic control centres across Poland. The implementation comprises 74 operational positions, including 60 positions dedicated to active air traffic management and 14 positions for air traffic controller training. This configuration allows PANSA to support both live operational requirements and controller development within an integrated communications environment. The deployment also reflects the industry's broader transition from traditional, hardware-centric voice communication infrastructure towards software-based, flexible and scalable platforms designed for increasingly distributed and virtualised air traffic management environments. Software-Based architecture designed for resilience. FREquentis X10 is a fully software-based, ATM-grade Voice Communication System designed to support both conventional and virtualised airspace operations. Its architecture provides operational flexibility while enabling integration with existing and future IP-based network environments. The system incorporates multi-level redundancy and built-in cybersecurity capabilities, supporting continuous availability and resilience in safety-critical air traffic management operations. Its open architecture is designed to facilitate integration with evolving ATM infrastructure and technologies. According to FREQUENTIS, X10 is designed as a long-term voice communications platform, combining modularity, scalability and an architecture capable of supporting future operational models including virtual centres and other increasingly digitalised airspace concepts. Nearly three decades of PANSA-FREQUENTIS collaboration. Reinhard Grimm, Executive Vice President ATM at FREQUENTIS, said the deployment builds on almost 30 years of cooperation with PANSA and reflects the two organisations' continued commitment to aviation safety in Poland. "This successful X10 deployment supports PANSA's goals for resilience and overall efficiency based on a leading-edge technological environment." The latest implementation further strengthens PANSA's technological foundation for managing Poland's airspace while providing the flexibility required to adapt to changing operational and technology requirements. Supporting the future of air traffic management. The PANSA deployment highlights the growing role of software-defined communications, virtualisation and resilient IP-based infrastructure in the modernisation of air traffic management. With its combination of ATM-grade cybersecurity, multi-redundancy, open architecture and support for virtualised operations, FREQUENTIS X10 is positioned to help air navigation service providers modernise critical voice communications while maintaining the availability and resilience required for safety-critical operations.

Ericsson selected for Queensland's rail network upgrade ahead of 2032 Olympics. Jul 30, 2026 * The deployment uses a mission-critical private 5G network to serve as foundational connectivity platform to enable safer, more efficient and higher-capacity rail operations * Mission-critical communications capability to underpin Queensland Rail's introduction of new digital signaling and train control system Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced it will provide the 5G-enabled Digital Radio System (DRS) technology in partnership with rail engineering firm UGL Transport and including mission-critical communications specialist Frequentis, following the Queensland Government's selection of the team to deliver the first phase of a next-generation rail communications network across South-East Queensland. Awarded by the Queensland Government, the contract will see the new DRS deployed as part of Stage 1 of The Wave, the transformative public transport and rail infrastructure program being delivered to connect Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The DRS will provide the communications foundation to support rollout of European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2, a next-generation signaling technology that enables continuous digital train control being delivered by Alstom. As part of the project, Ericsson will deliver the 5G communications platform underpinning the solution. The technology is designed to support mission-critical rail operations and provide a pathway toward Future Railway Mobile Communications System (FRMCS) capabilities, helping improve safety, operational efficiency and network capacity. UGL Transport, Ericsson and Frequentis will deliver the first operational section of the Digital Radio System to the Sunshine Coast line, which is a key corridor in the broader upgrade plans for Queensland's rail network. The system will be ready to support passenger services ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Digital Radio System project forms one of four major work packages within TMR's broader procurement activity for Stage 1 of The Wave. Ludvig Landgren, Head of Ericsson, Australia and New Zealand says: "This is a significant moment for digital rail in Australia. Ericsson's mission-critical private 5G platform will underpin Queensland's next-generation rail communications network, supporting safer operations and enabling the introduction of European Train Control System Level 2 digital train control. We are proud to be part of the team delivering this critical infrastructure for Queensland and for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games."
