Hytera, one of the world’s leading providers of professional communication technology, doubles Africa because it relies on the digital transformation of the continent.
Jayden Chen, General Director of Hytera Morocco, spoke the company’s ambitions at Gitex Africa 2025.
Hytera was founded in China in 1993 and rose to the head of the global communication sector. It has specialist knowledge in DMR and Tetra systems and is increasingly entering 4G and 5G networks.
“It is much more than just walkie talkies,” said Chen. “We deliver end-to-end solutions such as hardware, software and systems that ensure safe, reliable communication for critical sectors.”
The presence of the company in Morocco is already embedded in the national infrastructure. From railways, airports and seaports to emergency responsibility systems, Hytera keeps things going. “We work with the Moroccan government and sectors such as logistics, entertainment and events,” said Chen. “Communication is the backbone.”
But Morocco is only the tip of the antenna. Hyteras African reach extends over 15 years and extends over large parts of the continent. In South Africa alone, over 300 companies rely on their systems.
In Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, the Congos and Cameroon, police forces, railways and other essential services are wired by Hytera high-tech equipment.
Chen’s view of Africa’s potential is clear: “Africa is the future. The digital shift here is real and we are ready to support it with scalable, integrated systems.”
