Integrated solutions to meet unique customer requirements include, but not limited to, Network Management Systems, Command, Control and Despatch workstations, GPS/GIS Tracking applications, voice, data and multimedia recording, fault logging and integrated LTE broadband.
A vast selection of handheld, mobile and fixed desktop terminals complete SCAN RF’s digital two-way radio offering.
Whether the need is for outright purchase, vendor finance, hire purchase or ‘radio as a service’ subscription SCAN RF Projects has the appropriate digital technology to meet every customer requirement.
TETRA is recognized as the internationally adopted digital radio standard for public safety, emergency services and other first responders. It is also widely deployed in transportation (Airports, Rail and Seaports), mining and oil & gas markets where mission critical communications is essential for production and worker safety.
TETRA networks are extremely robust with multiple levels of redundancy which deliver in excess of 99.98% system up-time reliability.
TETRA handheld and mobile terminals provide a vast array of user features and benefits including digital voice and data transmission.
TETRA applications include timestamped voice and data recording, terminal tracking, PC based despatcher workstations, network management systems and fault logging.
TETRA digital radio solutions may vary from small precinct or campus systems of one or more base stations, or extensive provincial networks comprising a multitude of interconnected base station sites.
Communication security is paramount in mission critical networks and is provided by radio authentication to prevent unauthorized system access and the encryption of speech and data traffic.
The international DMR standard was developed as the commercial variant of TETRA to increase the channel capacity of the historically congested commercial frequency bands.
The technology may be deployed in one of three modes, namely, DMR Tier 1 utilizing line-of-site low power, license free terminals, DMR Tier 2 using duplex channel repeater infrastructure of similar design to that of legacy analogue radio systems, and DMR Tier 3 which are digital trunked radio networks with similar features to those provided in TETRA systems.
PoC systems operate over GSM Mobile Network Operator networks and provide users with the benefit of being able to communicate voice and/or data to multiple users simultaneously regardless of their location provided they are in a GSM coverage area.
PoC radio users may subscribe to an array of PoC system operators and larger companies may procure their own PoC servers and manage their systems privately. An APN service agreement with an MNO is required for self-owned systems.
For mission critical secure applications an additional MNO agreement would be required.
A PoC solution provides users with the following features, one-to-one or one-to-many voice, data and multimedia calls. Multimedia may include real-time video from body worn of fixed IP cameras.
Guyed / Self-Supporting Lattice Masts & Towers
When topography does not allow for direct LOS the answer can frequently be found in the construction of a Lattice Mast or Tower. SCAN RF has expertise in the location planning and construction of these structures. Ranging from 9m to in excess of 70m.
