The energy landscape is rapidly transforming.
Groundbreaking innovations in sustainable sources are reshaping how we think about power. Fluctuations in global markets bring both challenges and opportunities, while regulatory shifts push for greater supply security and sustainability. Amid these dynamics, the urgency to overcome connectivity barriers is clear, as we strive to develop a more intelligent, efficient ecosystem.
At Radiocoms, we’re committed to empowering energy organisations with the right communication tools to provide them with the insights, and support they need to enhance efficiency and bolster resiliency. Explore our interactive platform to discover how we can partner with you in leading the charge towards a more sustainable and dynamic energy future. Let’s shape the future of energy together.
The power of effective, business-critical, integrated communications.
Enhanced safety and security already play a key role in improved operational efficiency and organisational resilience; however, a well-coordinated workforce and the ability to communicate across diverse groups and landscapes is crucial to maximise uptime and throughput for a competitive business advantage.
Safety:
Reliable communication is crucial for preventing accidents. Energy companies need integrated systems to manage incidents, reduce response times, and protect employees, investments, the public, and the environment.
Operational efficiency:
Access to real-time data on a single reliable device enhances productivity for mobile energy workers. Cross-platform connectivity supports effective operations from oil rigs and wind farms to the grid.
Resilience:
Reliable communication networks are as crucial as energy supply networks. Organisations need robust networks with ample capacity, seamless coverage, and redundancy to withstand power failures, disasters, or damage.
Cyber security:
Energy companies require strong defences against evolving cyber threats. Modern networks integrate security measures, with some providers offering additional services to protect communication systems and broader infrastructure.
Communicate and safely respond today and tomorrow.
Poor communication can lead to rapid service decline, jeopardising both employee safety and essential operations. By implementing a cohesive digital transformation strategy, these challenges can be effectively managed, for smarter decision-making.

Scenario 1: Energy plant.
Click on the number to uncover how you can create a connection.
1. Robust, resilient communications.
1. Robust, resilient communications.
Use DMR/ TETRA two-way radios systems for resilient and encrypted communication one to one, or one to a group ensuring that employees can be connected. Devices are deployed as hand portables, or mobile units installed into vehicles with remote PTT buttons allowing for simple, easy to use communication whilst moving around your location.
With traffic prioritisation capability an emergency broadcast can be made to connect with other users such as operations, security or fire teams.
Furthermore, the system's man down feature and emergency button can instantly notify the team of any incidents or accidents, allowing them to request immediate assistance.
2. Enhanced situational awareness.
2. Enhanced situational awareness.
Using body worn video (BWV) allows you to capture and broadcast live video and their location data during on-site incidents, enhancing situational awareness. Whilst the recording can be used post event to support evidence or staff training.
With an inbuilt panic button for immediate assistance with a single press, and peer to peer activation your employees are assured of swift support in an emergency.
BWV can also be connected to your two way radio. Learn more about that here.
3. Photos and videos help resolve issues.
3. Photos and videos help resolve issues.
With the use of BBPTT smart devices and mobile apps, users have the capability to share visual content such as photos and videos. This also removes the need for employees to use their own personal device to share evidence.
Both Manager and any member of the team can comprehend the situation more effectively through visual evidence rather than relying solely on verbal explanations.
This system can be connected into your DMR/TETRA radio system.

Central Command Dispatcher software provides remote support from the substation and office teams by connecting with employees using two way radios/BBPTT devices to enhance response and reduce risk.
Benefits include:
- With GPS capabilities, everyday activities and incidents can be located, tracked, and mapped efficiently.
- CCTV and body worn cameras - connected into your two way radio system can greatly reduce response times.
- Telephone Interconnect - to make calls (and receive calls) from their radio to landline and/ mobile devices.
- Alarms and notifications to deliver mass notifications for example, responding to an alarm, maintenance for urgent repairs, security breaches, or security to address any issues, ensuring timely and coordinated action.
- All activities are recorded for post recording reviews.
5. Protection against high noise environments.
5. Protection against high noise environments.
Using heavy duty headsets (with VOX if required) can provide protection against high noise environments by reducing the decibel level and preventing potential hearing damage.
Employees can engage in face-to-face conversations with colleagues without the need for shouting, while also ensuring clear communication through their headsets, two-way radios or Bluetooth-enabled devices, all while safeguarding their hearing.

With traffic prioritisation capability an emergency broadcast can be made to connect with other users and the substation.
Furthermore, the system's man down feature and emergency button can instantly notify the team in the surrounding area, or back to the main dispatcher at the substation / office of any inactivity, incidents or accidents.

Copper theft is one of the biggest security concerns for wind turbine owners as it’s so high in value and is relatively easy to strip from the turbine cables. As well as high quality locks, protecting your employees is also vitally important.
