Hytera Sees Huge Growth Opportunities In South Africa
During a mission critical symposium held in Pretoria, nearly 150 customers from public safety, disaster management, public utilities etc as well as representatives from African embassies gathered together to share their insights on mission critical comms.
Hytera held its South African police service end user conference 2019 on September 5th in Pretoria East. Major General Buthelezi and Major General Gabela from South Africa Technology Management Centre, Brigadier Stokkies Coetzee of the Gauteng Police, were also invited to attend the conference.
Public Safety is still a severe concern in South Africa. How do you make your cities safer and help your communities to thrive? How do you keep your business operating smoothly and securely in the face of security threats and process breakdowns? During the conference, Hytera said it is committed to bringing efficient communication solutions to the Rainbow Nation.
"With voice, video & data, Hytera supports public safety from daily operation to emergence response, empowering them to achieve a safer, faster, and richer communication network to meet the comprehensive needs of customers, ” said by Mark Zheng, Director of Hytera Southern Africa Region.
Today in South Africa, during daily patrol, voice communication is insufficient to guarantee the timeliness and efficiency of field enforcement and the integrity of information recorded. Police expects that information is available anytime anywhere in order to improve working efficiency.
“Hytera multi-mode radio, which can work in both narrowband mode and broadband mode, can support police in fulfilling tasks efficiently, integrating mobile policing resources, and constructing a modern work platform,” concluded by Martin Pinard, Business Development Director of South African Hytera in multi-mode radio introduction.
During the mission critical symposium nearly 150 customers from public safety, disaster management, public utilities etc as well as representatives from African embassies gathered together to share their insights on mission critical.
Professor Tshilidzi Marwala, the Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Johannesburg (UJ) said: "The world is on the brink of a technological revolution that will alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. The Fourth Industrial Revolution offers huge opportunity to transform and realign our education, economics, politics and societies. Technology has a crucial role to play in ensuring that public safety teams can effectively communicate in real-time to mitigate the impact of disasters and reach the concerned sites on time. IT’S TIME FOR SA TO REVOLUTIONISE.”
