Utilities and municipal
Radios for utilities and municipal crews
Crews often work far outside any repeater footprint. On the mobile network, teams spread across a municipal area stay on one channel, with GPS on the console so the nearest crew gets the call.
What we put in front of this
Our shortlist for this kind of work. Prices exclude VAT.
Inrico T320 EX Intrinsically Safe PoC Radio
Inrico T521 4G Radio (Linux)
Dispatcher & GPS Tracking Solution
Inrico TM-7 Plus 4G Mobile Radio
No high site to rent
Network radios need no repeater and no frequency application. Insert the data SIM we supply, power up, and the radio registers on the platform on its own.
Send the nearest crew
Every device reports its GPS position to Dispatcher, so the call goes to the crew that is closest.
Radios in the bakkies
TM-7 Plus and TM-9 vehicle radios keep crews on the same channel on the road.
Hazardous areas
Where explosive gas or dust can be present, the T320 EX is certified intrinsically safe for Zone 1 and Zone 21.
Tenders
We put together a tender pack: the ICASA type-approval certificate for each model quoted, the manufacturer specification sheet and a formal quotation on our letterhead.
Email the tender number and the closing date to sales@inrico.co.za and we will work back from it.
Questions we get asked
Do we need a frequency licence?
Not for network radios, which use the mobile network. Radios that transmit on VHF or UHF, such as the IP358 or the IRC380 in DMR mode, normally do.
Where can the T320 EX be used?
It is certified Ex ib IIB T4 Gb for explosive gas and Ex ib D21 T135°C Db for combustible dust. That covers Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas areas where the gas group is IIA or IIB, and Zone 21 and Zone 22 dust areas. Tell us how your site is classified and we will confirm the fit.
How long does a new radio take to set up?
Insert the data SIM we supply and power up, and the radio registers on the platform on its own. If it has not appeared on the console within a minute, check the SIM is seated and the radio has signal.
Also worth a look
Not sure which fits?
Tell us the sites, the shift pattern and how many people need to hear each other. We will come back with a build and a price.
