UK Fire & Rescue Service rolls out MOTOTRBO Radios.

The Challenge.

Radios are worn by all team members attending a call- out for incident ground communications; for example, a firefighter who has entered a burning building can communicate instantly and clearly with his colleague who is manning the hose control pump at the rear of the fire engine.

When appliances from numerous stations attend, all users can communicate seamlessly across the initially established ground comms channel; however, if needed, further pre-set channels, such as a BA telemetry channel and a spare channel can be set up on different frequencies.

The Solution.

Incident Ground Voice Communications.

Management teams particularly appreciate the MOTOTRBO DP4601e’s audible channel announcement and visual battery and channel indicator, as well as its robustness and IP68 rating, which means it can be fully immersed in water and still work optimally. The radios operate with the IMPRES 2100 mAh Li-ion battery, which is also IP68 rated and gives 15 hours of use per charge, as well as advanced features such as automatic, adaptive reconditioning and end-of-life display.

The MOTOTRBO DP4801 Ex ATEX portable two-way radios, meanwhile, are used for specialist responses: for example, if a firefighter has to attend an incident at a petrochemical site or other environments containing potentially explosive gas and dust.

The Benefits.

Extensive Experience & Support for UK Fire & Rescue Services.

The MOTOTRBO radios are delivering clear, reliable incident ground communications, which is helping the Service to proactively and effectively handle incidents.

Simon Bingham, Senior Account Manager, Radiocoms, summarises: “Having worked with every Fire and Rescue Service in the UK, we understand their needs and draw on our extensive experience. We don’t just provide radios – we provide wrap-around support, from regular meetings, debriefs and assisting with any troubleshooting.”
