Our History
Founded in 1965, we've been delivering intelligent innovation for over 55 years, with 200+ business partners across sub-Saharan Africa, based on inclusivity and regional collaboration.


Pioneering a Safer, Intelligent Tomorrow
We understand you're navigating an increasingly complex operational landscape where efficiency, reliability, and security aren't merely business priorities—they're essential to safeguarding operations and, in many cases, protecting lives.
What Sets Us Apart
"We deliver an intelligent, adaptive platform that transforms how you operate by enhancing our OEM partner solutions."

Platform
We deliver an intelligent, adaptive ecosystem that transforms operational capabilities. Our platform seamlessly integrates diverse technologies and connects third-party systems through APIs, unlike competitors who simply "stand up" vendor services without adding genuine intelligence.
Our flexible, responsive architecture empowers you to add or remove capabilities without additional infrastructure investment, adapting to your evolving needs with confidence. We bridge the critical divide between public and private sector security through a federated, tamper-proof system with immutable chain-of-evidence capabilities, ensuring mission-critical reliability precisely when it matters most.

People
Our team combines industry-leading talent with extensive expertise in mission-critical capabilities. With a proven history of delivering public safety and security functionality, we understand the unique requirements of this specialised domain.
We possess the technical knowledge and resources to design, deploy, and operate complex communication ecosystems, particularly for life-or-death situations where reliability is non-negotiable. Our culture of responsiveness extends beyond our organisation to our clients, focusing on building meaningful partnerships that drive operational excellence and deliver actionable intelligence when it matters most.

Purpose
At our core lies the conviction that we don't simply provide communications—we deliver mission-critical capabilities that transform how organisations function, respond and protect. Our intelligent platform ensures vital communication in communities with no mobile signal, enhances coordination of emergency response efforts, and provides reliable systems for critical infrastructure like mines and airports.
By developing secure, adaptive systems with immutable evidence chains, we empower security teams with enhanced situational awareness and actionable intelligence in high-stakes scenarios. Our innovations transcend commercial transactions to directly impact people's lives and wellbeing, delivering tangible outcomes in the moments that define operational success.
