Frequentis marks the debut of its LifeX3020 solution in Southeast Asia, improving emergency call handling and response coordination across three major centres and nationwide blue light agencies.

This effort supports Malaysia’s Next Generation Emergency Services 999 (NG999) project, an upgrade designed to replace the current Malaysian Emergency Response System (MERS999). The initiative underscores Malaysia’s strong commitment to enhancing public safety across the nation.

Responses from key agencies

Frequentis will install innovative systems in three emergency response centres, the first deployment of its kind in Southeast Asia. These implementations will streamline emergency call handling, enabling quicker and more effective responses from key agencies such as police, fire, maritime, and civil defence services.

“This project is an exciting opportunity to apply more than 25 years of expertise in public safety communications,” says Robert Nitsch, Vice President of Public Safety at Frequentis. “LifeX3020 is tailored to meet both current and future needs, ensuring that emergency services throughout Malaysia can provide fast, reliable, and efficient support to those in need.”

Setup of 350 workstations

Call takers will have improved tools to assess emergencies fast and direct help to the fit agencies

The project involves the setup of 350 workstations across key emergency centres, backed by a robust infrastructure designed to enable rapid response across the nation. 

With the new platform, call takers will have enhanced tools to assess emergencies quickly and direct resources to the appropriate agencies without delay. This will significantly reduce response times, improving outcomes in critical situations.

New benchmark for public safety technology

Frequentis partners with local stakeholders to implement this large-scale project, which aligns with Malaysia’s broader efforts to strengthen national emergency services.

The NG999 initiative sets a new benchmark for public safety technology in the region by integrating multiple services on a unified communication platform.
