Sustainability news

Frequentis systems in safety-critical applications enable not only safe but also optimised traffic management. One example of how Frequentis solutions help to reduce CO2 emissions is the A-SMGCS (Advanced - Surface Movement Guidance and Control System) in use at Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi, an important traffic hub in the Middle East.

The task of an A-SMGCS is to ensure safe and efficient ground traffic at airports in all weather conditions and to maximise traffic throughput by combining different monitoring systems.

With the Frequentis A-SMGCS, the United Arab Emirates GCAA (General Civil Aviation Authority) has an advanced solution for managing and controlling ground movements at the airport, which massively reduces aircraft taxiing time, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Our success is due primarily to the commitment, accountability, and the strong, honest work ethic of all employees in the companies of the Frequentis Group.

To live up to this reputation and to further pursue the success story of our Group, it is a matter of course for Frequentis that we will continue to conduct our business operations with integrity and on the basis of high ethical principles as it is described in our Code of Conduct.

As part of a recent update, we have dedicated a separate section to the increasingly important topic of diversity: “We are committed to an inclusive organisation that values and respects diversity”.

‘For a safer world‘ - dealing with safety-critical systems is firmly anchored in Frequentis’ corporate culture. Frequentis has had its own competence centre for system safety management since 1995, which provides safety expertise for Frequentis customer projects. Numerous awards, published study papers and international recognition attest to the high level of expertise in this area.

At the end of August 2024, Frequentis expert Andreas Gerstinger was presented with the International Safety Award by the International System Safety Society (ISSS) for his achievements in the field of system safety. 

The ISSS is an international non-profit organisation that connects and supports safety experts around the world. Every year at the International System Safety Conference, it honours individuals and organisations that have made outstanding contributions in the field of system safety. This is already the fifth award for a Frequentis expert.

Frequentis has achieved ISO 20000:2018 certification for its Managed Service and as-a-Service business, consequently meeting international industry standards for professional IT service management. 

Managed Service and as-a-Service contracts have become a significant addition to Frequentis' service business and therefore contribute, along with the standard maintenance business, significantly to Frequentis’ success. 

The ISO 20000:2018 standard now provides Frequentis with a set of requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a service management system. Despite being widely used across the industry, this standard is a rarity in the field of Critical Infrastructure, thus representing an advantage in the market and, by providing a well-documented system to control the IT service delivery process, contributing to enhance customers’ satisfaction. 

The ISO 20000 certificate was officially handed over to Frequentis AG, represented by COO Monika Haselbacher and VP of Customer Service Andreas Keisler, on 9 July 2024.
 

As an internal networking and exchange platform, the Frequentis Women's Community provides valuable impetus for supporting women in their day-to-day work and career planning. In addition to concrete initiatives such as a mentoring programme or transparency regarding salaries and job advertisements, the informal exchange between women from different departments is of great importance.
There was plenty of opportunity for this at the Women's Community summer party with ice cream and cool drinks. Music and good humour contributed to a successful exchange on both professional and private topics.
