AB Comtech completes the group's "security solutions" range and is part of the sector's dronification strategy
Stemming from the former company Solidbot, of which it took over all the assets as well as the patents, AB Comtech is specialized in "mobile security trailers" systems, which are mobile video solutions whose applications are multiple including the security and monitoring of construction sites as well as the security of major public events.
