ECL’s Next Generation Radio network employs the most successful global radio technology ever to be designed.  The highly acclaimed Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) has been deployed in over 1500 contracts, in all 5 continents and is used in the biggest integrated network in Europe enabling roaming across borders.  The radio system has delivered outstanding new capabilities to millions of clients and the economies of scale help to keep pricing down for high tech products.  TETRA has done for radio what GSM did for cellular telephony.  While not quite the same technology, the concept for TETRA is best demonstrated in the USA under the name iDen by Nextel.

WAP – Wireless Application Protocol enables business applications to be delivered to the handset or in vehicle mobile.

Point to Point mode - Direct Mode Operation for use in ships, tunnels or for private groups such as hotels.  A limited communication capability is retained even if the entire network was destroyed.  
The network is secure.

Additional unique features depending on handset:

Vibracall alerting, text and voice messaging
Gateway from building site, hotel or boat into the main network..  Ideal for extending range or coverage from otherwise impossible locations.

The Radios

Thousands of these radio networks are in daily use to make modern bus networks operate, marine customs, military communications, Police and emergency services and hundreds of other logistics, construction and service organisations globally.

TETRA has become the system of choice for United Nations deployments, many armies, Police and Emergency Services globally.

Dispatch Terminal or Gateway

We have solutions to deliver cost effective dispatch terminals either mobile or in the office.  Internet gateways may also be used to deliver text message instructions, GPS location and state information.

Tailored Service to Help Power Your Business

We can tailor your connections to meet your business needs.  To keep the cost of service reasonable for this advanced system we limit voice telephone and individual calls during busy times.

You can have any limit or bar set for individual subscribers.  For example international calling can be barred  or direct linking to your PBX is also possible.

Teamwork


If your clients use ECL you may make individual calls to your client or supplier free.  Try that on any other radio or cell phone network.

Private Local Service (for hotels, golf courses etc)

ECL can deliver local repeaters using the same Next Generation Radio technology.  A local repeater would be installed by ECL but would attract no additional monthly service fees when used locally.  The advantage is that managers, duty servicemen, on call staff can use the same radio locally or Island wide.  If the need arises, such as a major conference, the entire radio fleet can be deployed Island wide on a temporary basis.

Accessories

An extensive range of accessories are available to order.  Popular accessories include:

Vehicle and hands free driving kits

Bluetooth headsets
Hands free kits for crane operators
Multi chargers
Total emersion marine kits
Text messaging gateway

Maintenance / Repair
Where your radio is under warranty we will provide a Motorola D700 stand in during the repair period free of charge for legitimate repairs.


Notes

The Interconnect Service while cellular like is not meant to be a substitute for a heavy cell phone user.  The system is designed to deliver cost effective communications for your business.  It is ideal for dispatch, mobile and team based work groups who value customer support and contact.  Call restrictions help management to keep the workforce focused on the job.


ECL NGR Service is ideal for contingency communications for emergencies, hurricane, or a substitute for cellular in emergency use.  The network is much more resilient than a cellular network.


Dispatcher workstations can track all your groups call activity including when the radio was switched on and off.  Management may request an individual’s call activity log for a fee.
