The Chat-Com Process – How Do You Setup a Two-Way Radio Network?

In order to cover the entire construction site with no blackspots, Chat-Com will supply a professional Digital Two-Way Radio Solution (Systems Radio Network) offering blanket site coverage (2KM minimum radius). This is provided with the use of a four stack UHF antenna, installed in a central location at an elevated position to provide full site coverage. Multiple Motorola SLR digital repeaters will ensure that team members can communicate from one side of the site to the other. The repeaters can be supplemented with a multi-channel antenna combiner (removing the need for multiple antennas and installation points).

This Chat-Com network can handle hundreds of digital handheld two-way radios across up to 99 channels. In order to grow the network further beyond the initial install, Chat-Com can add additional capacity with extra repeaters.

The networks we provide are designed to last for the duration of a multi-year project and is capable of growth, re-programming and re-installation where necessary.
