In April 2007, ECS was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation Section. The Award was made in recognition of the company’s work in COFDM links - the encrypted communication system that is used in police helicopters across the country, and in military and surveillance aircraft around the world. The privately owned British Company is recognised for its outstanding achievements in providing telecommunication solutions to the military, police service and security industries across almost three decades. COFDM links ECS provides secure mobile telecommunications to Her Majesty’s forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and to most of the country’s police Air Support Units. Based in rural Northants, the company, which was started in 1988 by Managing Director Colin Bullock, beat off competition from some of the biggest corporate companies in the country to win the coveted award. During the early 90’s ECS earned an enviable reputation for producing robust analogue video links for the security markets, known colloquially as ‘heli-tele’. In 2007 it is manufacturing a fourth generation state-of-the-art product that is at the leading edge of technology and the envy of our competitors. Mike Evans, Wiltshire Police Air Support Unit Executive, said: “Congratulations to Enterprise Control Systems Ltd on winning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Wiltshire Constabulary Air Support unit was the first police ASU to use ECS’s ground-breaking digital microwave ‘downlink’ technology three years ago. Its developments continue to lead the field in enabling senior officers in control rooms to view ‘real time’ incident images and make appropriate policing decisions.” For further information on ECS and the range of products available, please visit www.enterprisecontrol.co.uk or register with us to obtain specific information according to your requirements.
