The two industry leaders will jointly develop and co-brand integrated communication solutions, ensuring that NAFFCO's vehicles feature the most advanced emergency response capabilities.
Beyond providing top-tier hardware and software, Hytera will offer on-site and remote troubleshooting, after-sales support, hands-on training for NAFFCO staff and end-users, regular software updates, and 24/7 technical assistance for critical operations. This partnership extends to projects such as the Abu Dhabi Police Ambulance initiative, where Hytera's communication technologies are deployed in NAFFCO's vehicles.

Both organizations will leverage their combined expertise to develop bespoke communication systems for NAFFCO's global clientele.
This collaboration tackles several pressing challenges in the emergency response sector. By deploying Hytera's multi-network devices, agencies can break down communication barriers between fire, medical, and police teams, fostering a unified operational framework. Response times will be significantly reduced through integrated vehicle-communication technologies such as GPS-enabled dispatch and real-time tracking, ensuring personnel arrive faster and coordinate more effectively. In extreme conditions like floods, Hytera's rugged devices and NAFFCO's specialized vehicles work in tandem to deliver maximum reliability and durability.
Customers across various sectors stand to gain from this partnership. Government agencies will benefit from cohesive, department-wide communication, vital for responding to critical incidents such as wildfires or terrorist threats.

Frontline responders, including paramedics and firefighters, will enjoy safer operations backed by real-time access to data, such as up-to-date building layouts transmitted directly via Hytera's devices.
'We are honored to collaborate with Hytera on this vital initiative, as their cutting-edge communication solutions perfectly complement our firefighting and emergency response vehicles,' said Arkan Adel, CEO Representative at NAFFCO. 'By integrating these powerful technologies into our fleet, we will strengthen coordination across different emergency service teams, enhance on-scene efficiency, and ultimately help save more lives in critical situations.'
'Our strategic collaboration with NAFFCO is set to bridge critical communication gaps within the emergency services sector, enhancing coordination between public safety teams,' said Stanley Song, Vice President of Hytera. 'This partnership will enable swift activation, flexible deployment and real-time location tracking—essential elements that empower first responders to act decisively and efficiently during crises. At Hytera, we firmly believe that robust, reliable communication is the backbone of effective emergency response, and by joining forces with NAFFCO, we aim to deliver integrated technologies that help first responders operate seamlessly under pressure, reduce response times, and coordinate strategies with unparalleled precision.'
