Helping Charity in Hull set up communications system

We are currently helping a Hull-based charity set up a hand-portable communications network in central Hull.

During our initial meeting with the charity coordinator, we explained the options and possible issues, such as a reduction in the strength of the signals due to the tall buildings.

Then we carried out a test that involved walking around the proposed coverage area with a Vertex-Standard VX231 hand-portable and communicating back to another hand-portable at the charity’s base location.

The range survey proved that a radio repeater, which is used to boost range, was not required. This means that the charity was able to get operational within their budget, and without compromising on equipment quality.

We are happy to be helping the charity in our small way.
