80 Years of SITTI

In 1946 SITTI was founded. At a time when communication was once again becoming essential to reconnect, coordinate and ensure safety, the company took its first steps with a vision that would prove remarkably forward-looking: designing reliable systems for environments where communication is never just words, but action, responsibility and decision-making.

Eighty years later, SITTI celebrates an industrial journey that spans technological eras, geopolitical transformations and profound changes in operational models. From early analogue solutions to today’s digital IP architectures, the company has supported the evolution of mission-critical communications while remaining true to a core principle: technology must be robust, integrated and designed to serve people operating in complex, high-responsibility environments.

Over the decades, SITTI has become an international reference in Voice Communication Systems for air traffic control, defence and mission-critical control rooms. Its systems are deployed in control towers, ACC and APP centres, infrastructures where every second matters and reliability allows no compromise. It is a presence often unseen, yet decisive: when everything works, it goes unnoticed; when it matters most, it must perform flawlessly.

In recent years, SITTI has played a key role in major communication infrastructure modernisation programmes for leading European Air Navigation Service Providers, supporting the transition to highly resilient, scalable, full-IP VCS platforms compliant with the most demanding international standards. Projects of this scale are not simple technology deliveries, but long-term partnerships built on expertise, trust and a deep understanding of operational contexts.

Behind every SITTI system lies a corporate culture shaped by rigorous engineering, attention to detail and a strong sense of responsibility. It is the daily work of people who design, develop, test and support solutions built to last, solutions relied upon by professionals who make critical decisions every day, supported by clear, continuous and secure communication.

History, Innovation, People and Future are not just keywords, but the four pillars that have guided SITTI through eighty years of evolution: the strength of a recognised industrial heritage, the ability to innovate with discipline, the value of people, and a constant focus on what lies ahead.

As it celebrates its 80th anniversary, SITTI does not look back with nostalgia, but with awareness. The future of mission-critical communications will demand ever greater integration, cybersecurity, flexibility and adaptability. Addressing this complexity means continuing to innovate without losing identity, remaining faithful to a history that has shown that true evolution is not about chasing change, but about mastering it.

Eighty years are not a finish line.
They are the solid foundation on which to keep building.
