Improved employee safety
A range of emergency features such as lone worker, priority signalling and vehicle location assures worker safety is given the highest priority. Reliable Tait radios give utility personnel the confidence they can communicate what they need to when they need to.
Deliver resilient response
Service restoration due to weather events or other incidents can require collaboration with first responders and other agencies. Because Tait works with open standards rather than proprietary “hooks”, systems can be engineered to enable greater interoperability with police, fire and other public safety services.
Flexible and scalable solutions
Tait solutions are scalable, enabling utilities to start small and grow as operational and business needs dictate. Tait technical teams can tailor a solution to meet your precise needs. We can modify a Tait radio to perform specific tasks; interfacing with third party equipment or applications to meet your requirements.
Leverage existing assets and secure best value
Migrating to a new communications solution has to be seamless to radio users, cause minimal disruption and, due to seasonal factors, be installed in a narrow timeframe. Tait has a proven track record in managing such complex mission-critical, value-sensitive projects.
