The order from MCL goes to its partner Invisio - a leading Danish audio technology company - in a deal worth approximately SEK 30 million and deliveries are planned for the second half of 2017. The solution being supplied by MCL was developed in partnership with INVISIO Communications, a leading Danish audio technology company.
The order for the Invisio system is part of a contract awarded to Marlborough Communications Ltd (MCL) by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) in 2015 covering the delivery of systems to the British Army, the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force and the Army Reserve.
