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

Over the past decade, Hytera has played a pivotal role in driving digital transformation across various sectors in the Middle East. The UAE branch has been a cornerstone in revolutionizing public safety communication systems and enhancing operational safety and efficiency in utilities, transportation, and energy sectors. The company has achieved this through cutting-edge technologies in critical communications, control rooms, body-worn cameras (BWC), and digital evidence management (DEM).

Celebrating a decade 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 event highlighted key partnerships, projects, and achievements since 2014. The occasion was further commemorated with a Hytera branding show on the Burj Khalifa’s LED display, symbolizing a decade of local partnerships, progress, and innovation across MEA territories.

Stanley Song, VP of Hytera and head of Hytera UAE, commented, “The 10th anniversary of our UAE office not only marks a significant milestone but also 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 with the way we’ve worked alongside our partnership ecosystem to deliver tangible, forward-facing value to the region – led by a unified commitment to innovation.”

Through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions, Hytera has achieved significant market penetration over the past decade. The company now provides approximately 50% of communications devices, including two-way radios, LTE and PMR dual-mode radios, and ruggedized smartphones used by public safety agencies in the region. Hytera has also established a dominant presence in the energy sector (70%) and mass transit (50%). The company's intrinsically safe (IS) explosion-proof radio series has been crucial in upgrading safety and connectivity standards in high-risk environments such as fire rescue, oil and gas, refineries, chemical plants, and mining operations.

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

Looking ahead, Stanley Song added, “We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing our regional partners with the latest cutting-edge communications solutions that empower organizations and further 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 built a distinguished reputation for delivering solutions that reimagine public safety connectivity and collaboration. Through innovative practice and meticulous engineering, Hytera's portfolio embodies the company's dedication to providing market-leading communications solutions tailored to industries in the Middle East and worldwide.
