Empowering Robust Communications
Electricity, gas and water utility companies with distribution failures immediately disrupt both consumers and the economy. Utility companies sometimes have distribution networks comprising of thousands of kilometres of infrastructure, overhead lines and sub-station assets in locations with very little coverage due to being based in remote uneven terrain areas.
Naturally, such critical and wide-ranging operations require reliable communications to ensure the workforce can keep vital services running with access to reliable communications anytime, anyplace- Hytera offers the widest range of choice including narrowband mission critical voice products, broadband data infrastructure and the most robust terminals and accessories in the market today.
Better Efficiency
Responding effectively to both day-to-day operational requirements and emergency incidents requires teamwork and efficient coordination. The instant, group calling services provided by two-way and PoC radios means utility workers can easily receive and respond to instructions from operations centres and communicate with each other to ensure a better collaborative, coordinated response.
Efficiency
PoC enables real-time, group communication, ensuring that important messages reach the right individuals or teams promptly. This is particularly valuable in scenarios where swift responses are critical, such as inventory management and customer assistance.
Scalability
PoC is highly scalable, making it adaptable to both small and large business operations. It can accommodate the growing and changing needs of your businesses, ensuring that communication remains effective as the organization expands.
Cost Savings
By streamlining communication and reducing reliance on multiple, often costly, communication devices, PoC has the potential to yield significant cost savings.
Reliability
The reliability of PoC is reinforced by its ability to function efficiently even in challenging network conditions, ensuring that communication is consistently available when needed.
Enhanced Worker Safety
Radios do not just provide highly efficient communications. They also double up as an extremely effective safety devices as well. The radio is the utility worker’s lifeline, especially for lone workers and personnel operating in remote locations. If they get into trouble, the radios support several potentially lifesaving applications in addition to emergency voice calling.
Emergency button
Radios come with an emergency ‘panic’ button, which can be programmed to send an alarm to supervisors and to colleagues’ radios, along with the person’s ID.
Man Down and Lone Worker
The Man Down alarm is triggered if a user has fallen over and the radio is horizontal. The Lone Worker alarm is sent if the radio is inactive beyond a set time.
GPS location services
GPS-enabled radios allow commanders to locate and track users and can be used to pinpoint a user who has issued the alarm or who is in a man down situation.
