For many years two-way radio has been the conventional means of contacting personnel in the field. Even today there is a large demand for radio communications, both wide area and for localised or ‘in-plant’ style systems. the existing analogue style radios still play an important role in many areas, either from an ‘Occupational Health & Safety’ requirement or to provide a cost-effective means of communicating with people on the move.
Within the above conventional product areas we can offer a wide range of products with many features and a wide price range. Our range includes products from - Icom, Tait, Kenwood, Vertex Standard, GME Electrophone, Simoco ...and several others.
In this context mobile radio refers to vehicle mounted radios and they can range from simple installations on fork-lift trucks for in-plant systems, to service vehicles for metropolitan wide access through to trunked radios for wide area applications. Today's mobile radios offer many features and are a very reliable communications tool, they are one of the basic requirements for many transport and service organisations, plus they can offer advantages for other functions like mobile data which is mentioned elsewhere on our site.
For immediate communications to one or all of your staff, handheld radios offer many advantages over mobile phones. For safety systems there is no replacement for the 'everybody hears' format of radio communications, if you have a radio system then in the event of an emergency everyone gets the same information at the same time, this reduces confusion and contributes to the safety of everyone. For the security industry as well as general users, handheld radios have reduced in size and increased in features to the extent where they are now a viable communications device that can be carried and used by all.
From a safety perspective there is a very real advantage of having a fixed radio Evacuation system that is close and convenient, perhaps with the added feature of having an in-built stand-by battery so that if the power is cut-off then your radio system will still operate. AA Radio can take a mobile type radio and supply it in a convenient housing with battery back-up and present it as a simple and convenient option. For any application, we can supply a fixed radio to give you the advantage of reliable communications in a convenient format.
For either your own on-site extended radio system, or for a truly metropolitan radio system, we can supply repeater units to extend the range of your radios. With wide area systems we can not only supply the equipment, we can provide the operating site to give you radio coverage suited to your applications and needs. Our years of experience have allowed us to be able to advise you on the best solutions to your communications needs.
There have been several wide-area trunked radio systems operating on the MPT format during recent years. These systems offer very wide coverage areas and the feature set of the systems offers some very real benefits to the users. We can supply a range of mobile and handheld radios to operate on these third-party networks and advise you on the most suitable network and products. MPT trunked radio networks are at a much more mature stage than newer digital systems and the MPT networks will still be operating well into the future - if you want a reliable and proven performance, talk to us about the features and benefits of MPT trunking.
