Hytera, a leading global provider of professional communications technologies and solutions, celebrated the 10th anniversary of its UAE subsidiary with an impressive light show on the Burj Khalifa during its Middle East and Africa (MEA) partner summit in Dubai on May 16th.

Over the past decade, Hytera has become a pivotal force in driving digital transformation across various sectors in the Middle East, with its UAE branch serving as the regional powerhouse. The company has revolutionized public safety communications systems and enhanced the operational safety and efficiency of the utility, transportation, and energy sectors through advanced technologies such as critical communications, control room solutions, body-worn cameras (BWC), and digital evidence management (DEM).

Marking ten years of reshaping the Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) communications landscape, Hytera UAE hosted industry stakeholders, partners, and guests at the Hytera Global Partner Summit (HGPS)-MEA at Atlantis The Palm. The summit celebrated key partnerships, projects, and achievements since 2014, culminating in a spectacular Hytera branding display on the Burj Khalifa’s LED screen—a symbol of a decade of local partnerships, progress, and innovations across MEA territories.

Stanley Song, VP of Hytera and head of Hytera UAE, stated, “The 10th anniversary of our UAE office marks a significant milestone and underscores our enduring commitment to driving innovation and fostering partnerships throughout the region. From the very beginning, establishing Hytera operations across the Middle East markets was pursued with an aspirational vision to meet rapidly evolving communications needs across key sectors. Fast-forward to the present, we could not be prouder of how we’ve worked alongside our partnership ecosystem to deliver tangible, forward-facing value to the region—led by a unified commitment to innovate.”

Through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions, Hytera has achieved significant market penetration over the past decade. Approximately 50% of communication devices such as two-way radios, LTE and PMR dual-mode radios, and rugged smartphones used by public safety agencies in the region are from Hytera. The company also boasts a dominant presence in sectors such as energy (70%) and mass transit (50%). Hytera has been instrumental in upgrading safety and connectivity standards with its intrinsically safe (IS) explosion-proof radio series across high-risk environments such as fire rescue, oil and gas, refineries, chemicals, and mining.

In recent years, Hytera has embarked on several new projects, including establishing a Training & Factory Acceptance Test Centre in Dubai (2022) and signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Omani service provider Omantel (2023).

Commenting on Hytera’s future aspirations in the Middle East, Stanley added, “We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing our regional partners with the latest cutting-edge communications solutions that empower organizations and enhance safety and efficiency across sectors. The Middle East is a shining example for the world to emulate in terms of embracing digital transformation, and with many more opportunities on the horizon, we’re looking forward to the next 10 years and beyond.”

Founded in Shenzhen, China, in 1993, Hytera has established a distinguished track record for delivering solutions that reimagine public safety connectivity and collaboration. Developed through innovative practices and meticulous engineering processes, solutions from Hytera’s portfolio demonstrate the company’s dedication to providing market-leading communications solutions tailored to industries in the Middle East and around the world.
