Hytera’s ultra-compact and lightweight PD365 DMR radio has been deployed in a shopwatch and pubwatch scheme across Lincolnshire.

The PD365 radio was chosen as it is lightweight, easy to carry by shop owners, and can be charged via USB. A Hytera multi-site repeater network has been combined with Hytera’s SmartDispatch dispatch console, enabling radios from 5 towns to be monitored by one control room.

A County Council in England has deployed the Motorola WAVE TLK100i handsets for wide-area communications across their region. The handsets will be used for their emergency planning teams, and for their fleet of winter road gritters.

Motorola’s WAVE PTX solution utilises the 4G LTE network to provide a two-way radio experience supported by existing mobile networks, instead of using traditional repeaters.

WAVE PTX also supports other advanced features, including GPS tracking, geofencing, push-to-video and individual calling. WAVE PTX can be accessed via the dedicated TLK100i or TLK150i devices, or via a smartphone app (iOS or Android).

The Motorola DP1400 is the radio of choice for a Multi-Academy Trust running three secondary schools.

The trust migrated from licence-free PMR446 radios to the ever-popular Motorola CP040 around 12 years ago. Once the analogue-only CP040 was phased out, the trust purchased Motorola DP1400 handsets, which enabled them to take advantage of digital technology whilst retaining back-compatibility with their existing earpieces and chargers.  

At their largest school, a repeater is used to achieve wide-area coverage.
