ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT COMPANY W.L.L. (AIEE)

Introduction

Advanced International Electronic Equipment Company W.L.L. (AIEE) was formed in 1991 as a joint venture between Motorola USA 49% and Al Khaldiya 51%. Its main objective and business focus is to deliver advanced communication networks to customers not only in Kuwait but the region.

The structure of AIEE allows the international principal, Motorola to deliver on a local basis the most advanced communication equipment with in-country support. AIEE has its own workshops and engineering staff that work with customers on a daily basis. It was one of the first Kuwaiti registered companies to export high-level technical services to other GCC countries.

AIEE has managed to expand since 1991. We currently have 60 full time employees who support our customers not only at the customer's premises but also through our Radio workshop, Cellular subscriber workshop and our vehicle installation facilities. We are also able to offer training facilities up to 15 persons. Our radio and cellular workshop have spares holdings in excess of 5,000 lines items; with direct access to the Motorola spare parts ordering system.

AIEE has ISO 9001:2000 certifications and is continually improving its business practices in order to always ensure it delivers high quality products and service to its customers.

In 1996 we established the Middle East Support Centre (MESC). From Kuwait we provide technical support, repair facilities and emergency calls out for all Motorola supplied communications systems, infrastructure, subscriber and ancillary equipment. Our support area covers Lebanon , Jordan , Yemen , Saudi Arabia , Bahrain , Palestine , Qatar , United Arab Emirates , Syria, Iraq and Kuwait . We can provide on site technical assistance, 24-hour call out and remote (dial up) technical support.

Key Considerations

AIEE has an extensive work history in Kuwait having delivered four major countrywide networks over the last 18 years. The company has also supplied many hundreds of private systems that enable the commercial sector to communicate in a cost effective way, whilst giving management control over their work force.

AIEE has provided consultancy services and coordinated several major consortium programs over the last 24 months; one being for a C4I program valued at over US1 billion with more than 30 subcontractors which included a large data network with high level security. The most recent program was for a digital countrywide communication and data system, which involved over 10 international companies

Market Objectives

AIEE has built up an extensive system engineering capability having all the engineers trained in the Motorola Schaumburg facilities. Our technicians are some of the most experienced in the entire region and have installed commissioned and maintained SmartNet, SmartZone, Astro 25 Analogue and Digital system. AIEE delivered the first Astro Digital system to the Kuwait National Guard. AIEE has also negotiated and delivered an Astro Digital system to the Kuwait Oil Company and Khafji Joint operations in Saudi Arabia.

AIEE is an approved US government contractor and is currently involved in delivering FMS funded services to the Kuwait government. The company inter-operates with its principal online and has access to a worldwide secure Intranet system, which provides electronic ordering of all spares and support material.

AIEE has many Arab speaking engineers and is well positioned with its current facilities and equipment to support any future requirements in the Middle East .
