Digital Two-Way Networks for Utilities
Since the introduction of digital two-way radio technology, the industry has experienced vast improvements in audio clarity that accommodate for loud background noise, tough working conditions and severe weather, so workers will hear and be heard no matter what environment they are working in.
Long Battery Life with Digital Radios
An added benefit of digital radios today is the improvement in battery life. With a wide range of battery size and capacity and the implementation of Lithium Ion technology, some radio models can provide up to 30 hours of battery life, from a single charge. (Subject to usage).
Employee Safety in Utilities with Two-Way Radio
Employee safety on site is, as ever, paramount, especially when 24-hour shift patterns need to be considered. Two-way radio systems can provide an effective means for Lone Worker and Man Down monitoring. The requirement for an automated monitoring function can be met using digital radio systems. This provides users with the ability to activate emergency alarms if they fail to respond within a pre-determined time. Lone Worker emergency can also monitor employee activity from a centralised control room, or by using a supervisor’s display radio.
With GPS positioning, digital radio can help emergency teams in their response saving vital minutes and often making the crucial difference in keeping your employees safe at work. With the addition of Man Down tilt switches, it is possible for emergency alarm sequences to be triggered based on the user’s body position. This means that should they fall, the radio will send an emergency message, even when the users physically can’t.
Water Treatment Two-Way Radio Solutions
Water treatment works often necessitate an effective communication solution to ensure the workforce operates safely. If employees need to call for help or instruct control rooms to stop equipment, the two-way radio system will deliver these potentially lifesaving messages.
The equipment used at water treatment works, including large electrical plant machinery, can significantly impact the operation of a two-way radio system. At 2CL, we have vast experience designing radio systems around such challenges, and we ensure that a comprehensive coverage survey is conducted to guarantee the two-way radio system operates in all required areas.
During our for Anglian Water, we checked background noise levels to provide guidance on the necessity for radio accessories with health and aafety compliance, including hearing protection compatibility.
