Austria's Vienna Flight Information Region handles around 4,000 flight movements daily, according to the announcement.\n\nGuardX supports encrypted communication, role-based access control and full audit trails, and is built for integration into existing air traffic control environments. Frequentis said the platform is scalable and ready for future combined recording and replay of voice, radar data and controller screens in one environment.\n\n\"The implemented GuardX platform is prepared for automatic speech-to-text transcription using advanced AI-based components,\" said Reinhard Grimm, Frequentis Executive Vice President ATM Civil. \"This capability will significantly reduce the time and cost required for reporting and analysis, enabling faster access to relevant information and more efficient handling of safety related issues.\"\n\n## Frequentis's Earlier Air Traffic Deployments\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Frequentis deployed a next-generation integrated air-traffic-control display system across 78 working positions in Qatar in February 2026 through a 20-year partnership with Bayanat Engineering Qatar.
