The German Airbus site of Friedrichshafen is specialized in the development of satellites, equipment for earth observation, navigation, meteorology and space exploration. It is also worked on reconnaissance and surveillance systems, avionics systems, unmanned aerial systems, obstacle warning systems for helicopters, combat management and communication systems, mobile hospitals and sensors for aerial and space reconnaissance.

It is in this very demanding industrial context, requiring high reliability of the data exchanged, that the European number 1 in secure communication services has chosen Etic Telecom technologies (IPL routers and Ethernet extender XSLAN) for networking barracks and mobile operational equipment.
