“Our first order from DFS (the German ATC) we received in 1996, shortly after we started selling the first products for the PMR/Police area, at this stage through different distributors” says Ralf Kudernak, CEO and owner of Imtradex GmbH. “The collaboration went so well that we three years later presented the optimized AirTalk series for the German Air Traffic Control. From this we then developed the BusinessLine series for use in Call Centres in 1998” continues Kudernak.
The subsidiary Imtratel was founded in 1998, and in 2005 Imtratel took over some of their competitors in the telephony field, and is now an established trading company and distributor for several headset manufacturers.

“In subsequent years we put our focus on the development of AirTalk Series, our communication line for air traffic control. Always further improvements in speech and sound quality made the demand at home and abroad constantly growing, so that today we are proud to be one of the world's leading headset manufacturers in Air Traffic Control area, "says Ralf Kudernak.

This product line is specifically designed for the extended functional possibilities in digital public safety radio, and makes both voice and data application available for the user of the handheld microphone.
“In recent years we have invested a lot of energy in development in the Bluetooth range. Our communications solutions for police and undercover operations can be operated on standard Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and digital radios. This means that the connection to the radio or mobile phone is implemented wireless via the Bluetooth interface,“ adds Kudernak, and is also equal to a view: “Right now, our focus is on the development of safety-related communications solutions for Critical Communication. In that area new developments will follow soon”.
