Airwave opens Middle East office in Dubai

Airwave has opened a Middle East office in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, its fourth country-based bureau.

“The opening of the Dubai office is in response to increasing demand for our expertise and knowledge in building, maintaining and operating Airwave’s Emergency Services Network (ESN) in Great Britain. The office will serve as a hub to advise Middle Eastern customers on mission-critical communications,” said Mike McKone, director Middle East, Airwave.

Airwave’s CEO, Richard Bobbett and COO, John Lewis also attended the opening, which included the Director of Trade for UKTI in the UAE and senior members from the Free Trade Zone Enterprise.

“The opening of our office demonstrates our genuine commitment to doing business here,” said Bobbett. “Our offering in the Middle East will mirror our approach in Great Britain and we look forward to working with our customers to deliver capabilities that will enable them to take advantage of new voice and data technologies both today and well into the future.”

Dubai is the fourth country (the others are Australia, Germany and Great Britain) in which Airwave has established a presence.
