Airbus Agnet MCx communication and collaboration solution

Airbus has formed a partnership with Vertel, an Australian-based critical network solutions provider, to introduce the Airbus Agnet MCx mission-critical communication and collaboration solution to the Australian market. The solution is expected to help to improve the country’s ability to manage emergencies, risks and threats, thereby contributing to the mission-critical management of national and local companies and security forces.

The Airbus Agnet MCx is a standardised, flexible and futureproof solution-as-a-service-based platform for meeting all critical communication needs by leveraging the benefits of cloud technology, mobile or private broadband (4G/5G technology) and satellite communication. The platform can acquire and transmit secure data, video and voice to all relevant stakeholders at once in a secure way. It allows two-way radio device, smartphone, tablet and laptop users to communicate individually or in a group.

The solution will be cloud hosted within Australian territory and expands Vertel’s mission-critical communications offering to its government and enterprise customers. They will now have flexibility to start using mission-critical services on a subscription basis, with only a small upfront investment and without the need to wait for heavy infrastructure deployment. This is expected to open the door to an array of possibilities in public safety, defence, utilities and transport verticals.
