What Airsys does
Airsys Communications Technology Limited is a UK-headquartered (Romsey, Hampshire) value-added distributor of secure professional communications and safety technology, operating across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Founded in 1992 and employing 11-50 staff, the company has been an authorised distributor for Motorola Solutions for over 30 years and was elevated to Master Distributor for Motorola Solutions' 446 portfolio across EMEA in 2023. Its portfolio spans two-way radios (Motorola Solutions, Kenwood, Cobra PMR446), body-worn cameras and sensors (Motorola V200/VB400, HALO Smart Sensor), dispatch and push-to-talk applications (TRBOnet, WAVE PTX, SmartPTT, Globalview R-LinX), and complementary accessories (3M Peltor headsets, Cadex battery management, Alfatronix and Samlex power solutions, Amphenol Procom and Scan Antenna RF systems, Multicoupler combiners). In 2026, Airsys extended into data center and telecom cooling with two proprietary products: LiquidRack, a rack-level liquid cooling platform supporting up to 8kW per server and 80kW per 10U enclosure for AI and Edge environments, and UniCool-Max, a precision vertical cooling unit using low-GWP R-454B refrigerant and scaling to 960kW in clustered configurations.
Airsys generates revenue primarily through hardware distribution and value-added services, transacting via an e-commerce platform with product configurator, stock visibility, and account-based pricing, supplemented by direct sales and a network of authorised resellers across EMEA. The company maintains Innovation Centres in the UK and Netherlands for training, demonstrations, and partner-hosted Innovation Days, and operates the Kenwood Focus Partner Programme and Cobra-exclusive PMR446 distribution across Europe starting fall 2026. Customer segments span small and medium businesses (primary), public safety and emergency services, large enterprises with integrated safety ecosystems, and data center/telecom operators for cooling solutions. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, and revenue figures are not publicly reported; in 2021 it received the Motorola Solutions Empower Circle award for greatest total revenue in Europe as a distributor.
