RELIABLE, CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION GUARANTEED WITH KENWOOD TWO-WAY RADIOS FROM GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS

Large and often remote locations are common on many mining operations. Hand-in-glove with this widespread and harsh environment is the issue of consistent communications capabilities. Since it is critical for mine management to retain uninterrupted two-way communication with on-site workers, the deployment of two-way radios is a cost-effective and reliable alternative to other communication modalities.

“Durability and dependability are key factors in the design and manufacture of any two-way radio, since the units are exposed to inclement conditions over extended periods of time. Apart from the internal technology, which ensures that signals are optimally transmitted and received, the physical operation of two-way radios, in mechanical terms, is highly dependent on the reliability of the push-to-talk (PTT) buttons,” says Sean Mervitz, Executive Manager at Global Communications, Kenwood’s distributor for Sub-Saharan Africa.

The design of the Kenwood NX1000 range of two-way radios guarantees that all elements are sealed to the highest possible standards, to provide a completely watertight and dust-proof unit for use in even the most challenging environments. Global Communications is so confident of the durability of the radios that it announced late last year that specific models in the Kenwood NX1000 range would be covered by an unprecedented five-year warranty (Ts & Cs apply).

A classic example of the reliability of the Kenwood radios is illustrated in the deployment of a NEXEDGE NXDN network by Global Communications across 16 sites for the commercial banking arm of a major Southern African bank. See below for the link to the full case study.
