WHY TWO-WAY RADIO?


It is a fair question as many think radio is old school. Well telephones are even older.
Two-way radios have evolved just as telephones have evolved.
For many businesses it it more cost effective to use two-way radios for in-house on the job communications than say using cell phones, and often they work when (disasters) and where (boon docks), there is no cell phone coverage.
  • Over a 5-year period purchasing & operating a two-way radio will range from $1000 to $4500.
  • Over a 5-year period purchasing & operating a cell phone will range from $1800 to $6000.
When you provide cell phones for your staff that have no business related need to communicate externally while working for you, you are enabling them to be distracted by non-business related things, at your unnecessary expense.
One to one, within a group, and across the whole fleet communications at the press of a button, that is pretty easy communications, with two-way radios.
Times are tough, you need high efficiency in your business to stay competitive.
Two-way radios are built for the purpose of "IN-HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS" and many will also do some pretty good HSE duties for you as well, such as lone worker monitoring and GPS tracking.
The Lone Worker function basically has the radio asking every 30-minutes of no active radio use by the individual, "Are you okay?"
  • The two-way radio will keep asking this for 5-minutes, and if the individual does not do something active on his radio to cancel the alarm, the two-way radio will start an emergency status alarm advising the other members of the team (including the office) that this individual is unresponsive.
  • Your SOP (standard operating procedure) will dictate what happens from here.
  • So once you have finished your daily "Tool Box" meeting, your Mum Dad & worker daily brief, your parking wardens roster meeting, the HSE burden has been eased somewhat. The timers can be discussed and set for your needs when the radios are supplied.
  • The two-way radios can be programmed so the Lone Worker is on by default but able to be turned off for draughting/drenching sheep, or similar team work.
  • The individuals can also activate the EMERGENCY ALARM manually.
GPS tracking eases logistics and further improves operational efficiency.
  • Logistics are improved by the two-way radios regularly transmitting their geographic location, to a server.
  • The server is part of an AVL/Dispatch System. (AVL means automatic vehicle location).
  • The dispatching team can see by glancing at their monitors (or the giant screen high on the office wall, that screams "HERE WE TAKE HEALTH & SAFETY SERIOUSLY!") who is where and thus best suited for the next job.
  • When there is an Emergency Alarm, the location shows on the screen.
  • Even on the farm, when Dad says he needs more posts, Mum can see where he is; if he does not come home for lunch, Mum can see which boundary fence he is at.
  • When Dave from the sawmill says he has two pallets for Place-Builders in Palmy, Doris can see that Bill in his flatdeck is the closest to the sawmill.
Geofences (electronic borders around various locations) also help you monitor how long staff are in the remote yard having smoko, taking to load & other things that successful bosses want to know.
  • When Tim says he needs more time to do a job, but even Wincey Wayne did it all in one day last week, you can see from the report that Tim was (as suspected) having long lunches at his girl friend's flat.
SMS (texting) is a great feature for both dispatching work/jobs and sending general updates.
  • From the Admin to the Managers Group only, "Keep an eye on Tim, his Granddad had a stroke last night."
  • From the Security Cameras to Security Group only, "Touchy Tim is in the women's section!"
  • From the Farm Manager to Onepoto Block, "Stock truck arriving at 9."
  • From HR to the whole team, "Morning Tea shout tomorrow, we met target."
  • (There has to be a follow up for that last one) from HR to the whole team, "Morning tea reminder. C U @ 10."

ABOUT H-BOSS RADIO SYSTEMS


Radio Systems can be all sizes from a 2-radio simplex system to a multi-user/multi-high-site-repeater system.

H-BOSS has engineered all types and has decades of experience in providing the right solution for clients.
Fair to say when economies get tight, increases in efficiency are required.
For those in the above industries, two-way radio systems improve efficiencies.
H-BOSS is having a clearance on some ex-rental radio equipment and one luxury 4x4 vehicle.
These are great prices, and considerably less than when you ask for a quote from bricks & mortar two-way radio shops.
Have a look and email jack@RT4U.nz for anything that tickles your fancy.

#6 MUM, DAD & WORKER TWO-WAY RADIO SYSTEM
  • SOLAR POWERED BATTERY BACKED STORE & FORWARD REPEATER SYSTEM
    • H-BOSS RDTRIK based on NX-200 VHF radio in Pelican style case,
    • 40-AHr battery, solar controller and 50-watts solar panel.
    • EE-Band COL-V3.

      Basically most repeaters separate the transmit function from the receive function on the same antenna (aerial) by use of expensive filters. So two expensive radios and an expensive filter.
      This "Store & Forward" technology is much more cost effective as the two functions are separated by time (not by filtering). So one expensive radio and one miniature voice recorder module with some very clever "smarts" thrown in.

IMPROVING PROFIT MARGINS

Savvy businesses know improved communications efficiency improves profitability.
During the Global Financial Crisis, sales of communications equipment increased significantly (I was pleasantly surprised) often freeing up staff thus facilitating greater efficiencies.
For you now, if you are in any of the arenas below, two-way radios allow better logistics, operations and break down efficiencies.
Some typical scenarios include:
-Regular and irregular checks on what staff are currently doing; their responses are delivered with the simple press of the PTT button and then they are back on task.
-Determining who is closest to an unexpected situation and thus best able to quickly provide assistance.
-Diverting an existing route for a slightly off route client's needs.
This improved efficiency is often NOT the reason why two-way radios are initially procured however greater efficiency soon becomes evident.
Two-way radios are often initially sourced for HSE and off grid communications such as pedestrian work, convoys and construction sites.

H-BOSS has decades of experience supplying Two-Way Radio Systems and Solutions.
As the Harapaki Wind Farm construction phase draws to a close, H-BOSS supplied infrastructure and subscriber terminal equipment (repeaters, handheld two-way radios) are now coming off rental contract and looking for new projects and opportunities.
With the above in mind, this is a good opportunity for Hospitality, Health and Education Campuses, Contractors, Site Projects, Emergency Services, Security, Volunteer Groups, Dispersed Field Teams, Sports Event Organisers, Transport Operators, Festivals, Concerts, Rallies, Convoys, Seasonal Operations, Packinghouses, Factories, Museums, Passenger Service and Tourism Operators, Rafting Companies, Horse Trekking, Vineyards, Orchards, Farmers and Miners.

H-BOSS offers good rates and resilient systems.
