OVIV designs and manufactures security systems for the aeronautics industry, with a specific focus on business and VIP jets once parked on the ground. Sentinel 100 L is the first comprehensive, independent and reliable system to secure and monitor an aircraft on the ground thanks to its patented intrusion detection and communication technology.

Trust Middle East Company - SOFAB is the well-known, established diversified group with extensive interests in aerospace and aviation product distribution and service in the Gulf Region. Trust Middle East has demonstrated over the years that it can meet the demands of the fast growing Middle East Business Aviation sector.

OVIV CEO Bruno Combe said: “We are delighted to announce this agreement with Trust Middle East Company; it means that customers in the region will have easier access to our aircraft security systems and will have the expertise and accessibility of our local partner to call on. I look forward to working with the Trust Middle East Company and establishing our security systems as an essential part of the region's aircraft operators and airports portfolio.”

Commenting on behalf of Trust Middle East Company Group President, Capt. Hani Shamsan Alsohaibi, said “I am pleased to be working together with OVIV Security Technologies; our partnership means that aircraft operators and airports in the Middle East can benefit from OVIV's excellent range of security products backed by our local expertise and excellent level of customer service”.

The OVIV Sentinel security systems are tailored for business jet owners and / or operators who want total and independent security. The systems house a highly sensitive radar-based motion detection system that establishes a secure perimeter around the aircraft and provides alerts and real time videos in case of an intrusion.

As with all OVIV security systems, the Sentinel 100L flagship product protects and monitors the total “integrity” of business aircraft from all threats, including damage on the ramp, tampering, vandalism or stolen fuel, a frequent occurrence on tarmacs around the world.
