Company profile
From remote airport towers to emergency dispatch and coastal radio
Frequentis designs the operator workstations and software behind air-traffic towers, emergency call centres, railway operations rooms and coastguard networks. Its systems combine voice, sensor feeds, incident workflows, recording and mobile data in one operational picture. Because these rooms must continue through outages, upgrades and handovers, the business extends beyond software alone: projects involve standards and regulatory work, resilient architecture, training, migration and support across long operational lives.
Air traffic and defence
An airport tower can sit hundreds of kilometres from its runway
DFS has controlled Saarbrücken Airport from Leipzig since 2018 using a five-screen panorama fed by video and infrared cameras; the Frequentis case study records more than 36,000 flights managed remotely. The US Air Force Flight Standards Agency and Naval Information Warfare Center also trialled fixed and containerised digital towers at three bases. Simulation, shadow training, ICAO alignment and regulatory approval sit alongside the hardware, while an LVNL agreement illustrates a development partnership with a horizon of up to 25 years.

Emergency services
One screen must connect calls, radios, crews and dispatch
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's cloud control room combines LifeX with Regola's Unique CAD, Airwave radio and mobile and station systems for crews serving more than two million residents. A separate North Rhine-Westphalia police programme spans 50 control rooms, about 400 operator positions and five networked technical centres. Both show the operating model: integrate many channels and third-party systems while designing for redundancy, availability and phased migration.

Rail operations
A drone can reach damaged track before the response team
ÖBB uses drone garages to inspect hazardous or snow-covered track beyond the pilot's direct view and stream live images to the control room; Frequentis says ÖBB was Europe's first infrastructure company authorised for this operating model. Its ICM platform guides rail incidents from alert to resolution. A deployment brief also names ÖBB's six-centre consolidation, Sydney Trains' Rail Operations Centre and CFL's safety-management process.

Maritime safety
Coastal radio is national infrastructure, not just a call channel
Norway's Kystverket coastal-radio network spans 150 sites and nearly 500 radio units along 9,200 kilometres of coastline, supporting communications for 42,000 Norwegian-licensed vessels. MarTRX brings radio, radar, AIS, incident workflows and legal recording into the maritime control room. Ports of Jersey's 24/7 coastguard and vessel-traffic service and Marine Rescue New South Wales show how the same architecture supports routine traffic and life-saving response.
