Ondas Holdings Inc., a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks, commercial drones & automated data solutions, announced Thursday it has signed a deal with Maghrebnet, a Moroccan vendor specialized in information technologies, security, networks, telecoms and renewable energies.
Through this partnership, Ondas expands into the Moroccan and broader North African market, offering advanced drone infrastructure for cities, industrial and strategic facilities.
“Morocco is demonstrating strong leadership within Africa with a focus on technological development, particularly in the aeronautics sector,” said Eric Brock, Chairman & CEO of Ondas.
“This focus is driving strong growth in strategic technology investment across multiple infrastructure industries in Morocco, including aerospace and energy”, he added.
With Maghrebnet, Ondas’ Optimus System will provide infrastructure solution for aerial data capture in governmental and commercial applications.
“Maghrebnet has forged a strategic partnership with Ondas, specializing in the production and operation of autonomous Unmanned Aircraft (UA) systems and solutions to expand our portfolio of security-related services,” said El-Mekki Benamar, Maghrebnet’s Chief Information Officer.
“We see many applications for Ondas’ Optimus System within government, industrial, and commercial sectors, which can benefit from seamless automated data collection and analysis, alongside a suite of other unmanned aerial services. These operations run around the clock, devoid of human intervention, expertly meeting the demands of the most intricate environments across the globe”, stressed Mr. Benamar.
Maghrebnet and Ondas are also exploring the feasibility of producing the docking station component of the UAs in Morocco with a focus on cost-effectiveness.
Under the deal, Maghrebnet agreed to introduce Ondas’ systems to potential customers in the region and handle the manufacturing and sales of Onas’ automated Optimus Drone-In a-Box systems in Morocco and Senegal.
Based on future growth, the companies will work towards achieving cost-effective manufacturing of docking stations and establishing a joint Research and Development Center in Morocco.
