Dubai, UAE – 25 February 2025: Hytera Communications (SZSE: 002583), a leading global
provider of professional communications technologies and solutions, has signed a
groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NAFFCO Group, a renowned
manufacturer of firefighting and emergency response vehicles. Announced at the Hytera
Shenzhen Headquarters, this strategic alliance will deliver state-of-the-art solutions tailored to
the needs of emergency responders across the Middle East and Africa. By integrating Hytera’s
advanced fire and emergency communication technologies into NAFFCO’s vehicles, both
companies aim to strengthen coordination and bolster efficiency for emergency teams working
in high-pressure scenarios.
Under this MoU, Hytera will equip NAFFCO’s firefighting vehicles, ambulances, and emergency
response units worldwide with its cutting-edge communication systems. By integrating Hytera
wireless radio communication solutions with NAFFCO’s fire equipment, first responders will
experience a turnkey emergency response system that delivers seamless, reliable, and efficient
operations in critical situations. The two industry leaders will jointly develop and co-brand
integrated communication solutions, ensuring that NAFFCO’s vehicles feature the most advanced
emergency response capabilities.
Beyond providing top-tier hardware and software, Hytera will offer on-site and remote
troubleshooting, after-sales support, hands-on training for NAFFCO staff and end-users, regular
software updates, and 24/7 technical assistance for critical operations. This partnership extends
to projects such as the Abu Dhabi Police Ambulance initiative, where Hytera’s communication
technologies are deployed in NAFFCO’s vehicles. Hytera’s software APIs will also be seamlessly
integrated into NAFFCO’s platforms to enhance interoperability and expand functionality. Both
organizations will leverage their combined expertise to develop bespoke communication systems
for NAFFCO’s global clientele.
This collaboration tackles several pressing challenges in the emergency response sector. By
deploying Hytera’s multi-network devices, agencies can break down communication barriers
between fire, medical, and police teams, fostering a unified operational framework. Response
times will be significantly reduced through integrated vehicle-communication technologies such
as GPS-enabled dispatch and real-time tracking, ensuring personnel arrive faster and coordinate more effectively. In extreme conditions like floods, Hytera’s rugged devices and NAFFCO’s
specialized vehicles work in tandem to deliver maximum reliability and durability.
Customers across various sectors stand to gain from this partnership. Government agencies will
benefit from cohesive, department-wide communication, vital for responding to critical incidents
such as wildfires or terrorist threats. Private corporations including those in high-risk sectors like
Oil & Gas, will access tailor-made emergency response solutions—like explosion-proof radios
integrated into NAFFCO fire trucks—optimized for dangerous work environments. Frontline
responders, including paramedics and firefighters, will enjoy safer operations backed by real-time
access to data, such as up-to-date building layouts transmitted directly via Hytera’s devices.
“We are honored to collaborate with Hytera on this vital initiative, as their cutting-edge
communication solutions perfectly complement our firefighting and emergency response
vehicles,” said Arkan Adel, CEO Representative at NAFFCO. “By integrating these powerful
technologies into our fleet, we will strengthen coordination across different emergency service
teams, enhance on-scene efficiency, and ultimately help save more lives in critical situations.”
“Our strategic collaboration with NAFFCO is set to bridge critical communication gaps within the
emergency services sector, enhancing coordination between public safety teams,” said Stanley
Song, Vice President of Hytera. “This partnership will enable swift activation, flexible deployment
and real-time location tracking—essential elements that empower first responders to act
decisively and efficiently during crises. At Hytera, we firmly believe that robust, reliable
communication is the backbone of effective emergency response, and by joining forces with
NAFFCO, we aim to deliver integrated technologies that help first responders operate seamlessly
under pressure, reduce response times, and coordinate strategies with unparalleled precision.”
