Sinus Communications Technology

What Sinus Communications Technology does

Sinus Nachrichtentechnik GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer, system integrator, and distributor of mission-critical VoIP-based communication management systems for emergency services, headquartered in Barsbüttel with regional offices in Greifswald, Blankenfelde-Mahlow, Ludwigsburg, Pforzheim, and Unna. Founded in 1983 by former SEL (Standard Elektrik Lorenz) employees, the company serves fire brigades, rescue services, airports, industrial works fire brigades, and BOS (authorities and organizations with security tasks) across Germany and Austria. The company employs approximately 100 staff and generated 22 million EUR in revenue in 2023, with owner-CEO Marcus Landschof (75.5% stake) leading a private founder-controlled structure with no external private equity backing.

The company's flagship product is the proprietary MECC (Multimedia Emergency Control Center) platform, a VoIP-based communication management system that unifies radio (TETRA, analog, BOS Digitalfunk), telephony, building management, and digital alerting onto a single dispatcher interface with high-availability, redundant architecture. Sinus extends MECC through a modular portfolio including MECCcompact, SEB VoIP-Fire radio consoles (Touch-FuBe, VBP3510, VBP4410), TETRAcontrol UBX vehicle-based navigation and radio control, digital alerting networks (DA-Netz), and IHM status panels. A dedicated software engineering center was opened in Pforzheim in August 2024 to develop the platform, including a new web-based MECC interface unveiled at MECC Anwendertreffen 2024. Sinus is ISO 9001 certified and a Motorola Solutions Certified Partner for TETRA equipment.

Sinus earns revenue through a mix of one-time hardware and platform license sales, project-based professional services for system integration, and recurring 24/7 maintenance contracts. The company acts as general contractor on large Leitstelle (dispatch center) builds, winning projects through public procurement tenders and direct enterprise sales, with multi-year support agreements generating recurring service revenue. Customers include Berufsfeuerwehr Dortmund, the state of Brandenburg (5 regional Leitstellen with 100+ workstations and 500+ DA network sites), MTU Aero Engines, Porsche Leipzig, Henkel, Covestro, Roche Diagnostics, Hannover and Köln Bonn airports, and Austrian Wasserrettung Vorarlberg. Recent strategic moves include the July 2025 acquisition of DT Digitaltechnik GmbH, geographic expansion into Austria, and technology partnerships with Hexagon (HxGN OnCall), TE-SYSTEMS (NG eCall), DIVERA 24/7, TASSTA, and Eurocommand to extend MECC into adjacent CAD, eCall, staffing, MCX, and command-and-control platforms.
