Extended coverage

In challenging or remote environments, coverage can often be a barrier to maintaining essential communications for business and mission-critical operations. Understanding the importance of uninterrupted connectivity, many organisations are now turning to advanced technologies and Very High Frequency (VHF) solutions to provide extended coverage.

Enhance coverage in complex terrains and enable rapid network deployment

The requirement for mission-critical communications is not limited to urban environments. Humanitarian relief efforts, military operations, rescue missions and mining operations; to name a few; all rely on secure communications to deliver results in remote or challenging environments.

Choosing the right frequency for the right location is key. Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF) have their strengths for different situations. With its ability to penetrate dense structures, UHF is best for an environment that is urban or cluttered, while VHF signals excel in wide open spaces with few obstructions. For regions, where it is not possible to get UHF licence allocation, VHF can also offer an alternative method of deploying TETRA radios.

In regions characterised by varied terrains, including deserts, water, mountains, and rocky landscapes, VHF TETRA emerges as an indispensable communication solution. VHF TETRA is reliable over long distances. Unlike other communication systems that may struggle to transmit signals through such barriers, VHF TETRA has the capability to propagate through challenging terrain, ensuring consistent coverage even in remote or rugged areas. The greater signal propagation of the VHF frequencies combined with the reliability, security, and mission-critical protocols of TETRA proves an ideal solution for complete and reliable coverage.
