Radio System Hire in the North
2CL has been working with The Great Run Company for many years, developing the radio system for the Great North Run.
This system ensures reliable communication across the entire 13-mile course using three repeater sites linked via IP Site Connect Technology. As users progress around the course, their radios automatically connect to the best signal from one of the three repeaters. This traffic is then passed over the internet, with messages broadcast from all three sites. This Roaming feature is essential for wide-area systems.
2CL’s expertise in installing and supporting these systems is crucial to the ongoing partnership with The Great Run Company, providing radio systems for the entire Great Run and Great Swim Series.
Radio System Hire for Festivals
Anyone involved with Glastonbury knows the sheer scale of the event is remarkable. From the vast festival site to the number of attendees, Glastonbury is the largest greenfield festival in the world. 2CL has been supporting the festival since 2005.
Glastonbury and its suppliers/contractors hire over 3,500 radios a year from 2CL, utilizing three Motorola Capacity Plus systems, around 10 additional standalone repeater systems, and a mix of digital and analogue radios. 2CL provides onsite assistance throughout the build, break, and over the festival week, including engineering support.
