Uninterrupted Two-Way Radio Communication for the Mining Sector
GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS OFFERS THE MINING SECTOR UNINTERRUPTED TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION WITH KENWOOD RADIOS
Kenwood NEXEDGE digital radio systems provide a reliable, convenient and effective means of communication in mining applications as they allow cost-effective, instant and simultaneous communication with individuals and groups of people.
The Kenwood range of two-way radios is characterised by its durability, ruggedness and longevity. These characteristics led to Global Communications taking the unprecedented decision to offer a five-year warranty on specified models last year.
“During the rigorous tests undertaken on the radios during the developmental process, they are dropped, soaked, splashed and subjected to extreme temperatures to ensure their readiness for prolonged use in the harsh environmental conditions typical within the mining sector. In addition, the test team repeatedly expose them to the same conditions they would experience when their push buttons are operated tens of thousands of times over their normal lifetime,” says Sean Mervitz, Sales Manager at Global Communications (an Elvey Group company and part of the Hudaco Group of companies).
There are four pillars that underpin the reliability and robustness of these particular Kenwood radio models based on the MILSTD 810 C/D/E/F and G specifications and IP54/55/67 and 68 environmental standards:
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Exposure to extreme temperatures
Dust and water resistance
LONGEVITY INDICATORS:
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
Push to Talk (PTT) activations.
