C4i opens Singapore office

C4i has opened its Singapore branch office, responsible for addressing the growing markets in Asia.

The opening of the office is the latest step in a long-term commitment to the region, allowing rapid response to the needs of users. The opening coincides with the successful commissioning of the company’s air traffic control voice system at Seletar Airport, Singapore.

The branch is the second permanent office to be established for the company outside of Australia since it opened its US subsidiary C4i Inc in 2001. Over the last four years it has exported a number of national and tactical SwitchplusIP defence and public safety systems to the region and intends to continue this trend.

“C4i understands that providing real-time response to user requests is a necessity to doing business in this very competitive and global market. The opening of this office allows us to better respond to our network of representatives in the area, along with supporting our existing customers in six different Asian countries. The office will be headed up by Andrew Heath, C4i’s regional international business development manager. Our IP-based technology has been well received in the region and we see this branch office as a key growth strategy for our business,” said Peter Harrison, C4i managing director.

Over the last five years, the company has on average derived greater than 40% of revenues from exports and expects this percentage to increase over the coming the years as different vertical and geographic markets are influenced by the global economy.
