CeoTronics to deliver noise protection helmets and CT-DECT digital radio
systems to German Air Force worth approximately €5.5 million // largest
single order and biggest order backlog in Group’s history
CeoTronics AG Audio Video Data Communication, Adam-Opel-Strasse 6, 63322
Rödermark, Germany, listed in the PRIME Standard (ISIN: DE0005407407), has
been awarded an order by the German Armed Forces to supply CT-DECT JetCom
systems for digital, secure communication in duplex mode (including approx.
3,700 noise protection helmets) for use in areas where noise exceeds
140db(A) worth more than approximately €5.5 million.
This order increased the CeoTronics Group’s euro order backlog by around
134% (year-on-year), thus pushing it to its highest level by far since the
Company was founded.
The order volume reflects a two-year requirement. It is planned to deliver
and invoice the first lot of 1,500 helmets with communication systems and
accessories by the end of 2007. The rest will be delivered until the end of
September 2008
The tender award also includes an option for a third lot of approx. 2,200
noise protection helmets with communication systems and accessories.
CeoTronics is prepared for the smooth completion of the order, ensuring
that all other orders will be produced and delivered as planned.
Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:
A CT-DECT JetCom system consists of a CeoTronics 'CT-DECT' digital radio
system for up to eight mobile participants plus the cockpit, the 'CT-DNR'
digital noise reduction module, and up to eight CT noise protection helmets
with built-in CT ContactCom (skull microphone and speaker). These systems
are used during Ground Handling, take-off preparation and service of
military jets (e.g. Eurofighter).
The German Armed Forces (Air Force) has already been successfully using
more than 300 CT noise protection helmets equipped with CT-DECT digital
radio systems for Eurofighter ground handling since a long time. EADS in
Spain and in Manching (Germany), the Hamburg Police Department, and various
industrial customers also opted for the CeoTronics’ digital communications
system and noise protection helmet several months ago. Austria’s Ministry
of the Interior has also recently been won over by this system and has
placed an order with CeoTronics worth over €200 thousand.
Not only does the German Air Force need this internally developed
CeoTronics system, but also other units of government security, law
enforcement, and rescue services that have to handle helicopters and
aircraft on land and at sea – in Germany, in Europe, and around the world.
Of course, aircraft and helicopter manufacturers must ensure that their
personnel are protected from extreme noise and that the necessary clear
communication is possible during development, testing, transfer, and
maintenance.
'CeoTronics has successfully competed to win this tender and has once again
demonstrated its performance and technology leadership,' said Thomas H.
Günther, Chairman and CEO.
