Cable Laying Ship Radio Communications Case Study
A cable-laying vessel supporting an offshore wind installation project experienced a complete breakdown in its handheld radio communications system just 24 hours before deployment. The vessel—chartered by a major UK energy producer—was scheduled to dock at the Port of Sunderland before continuing operations along the UK coast.

Schools Radio Audit 2026
Walk into almost any UK primary or secondary school and you will find two-way radios in use.
