Energy and Utilities

Empowering Robust Communications

Electricity, gas and water utility companies with distribution failures immediately disrupt both consumers and the economy. Utility companies sometimes have distribution networks comprising of thousands of kilometres of infrastructure, overhead lines and sub-station assets in locations with very little coverage due to being based in remote uneven terrain areas.

Naturally, such critical and wide-ranging operations require reliable communications to ensure the workforce can keep vital services running with access to reliable communications anytime, anyplace- Hytera offers the widest range of choice including narrowband mission critical voice products, broadband data infrastructure and the most robust terminals and accessories in the market today.

Potential Advantages of PoC Solutions

Efficiency

PoC enables real-time, group communication, ensuring that important messages reach the right individuals or teams promptly. This is particularly valuable in scenarios where swift responses are critical, such as inventory management and customer assistance.

Scalability

PoC is highly scalable, making it adaptable to both small and large business operations. It can accommodate the growing and changing needs of your businesses, ensuring that communication remains effective as the organization expands.

Cost Savings

By streamlining communication and reducing reliance on multiple, often costly, communication devices, PoC has the potential to yield significant cost savings.

Reliability

The reliability of PoC is reinforced by its ability to function efficiently even in challenging network conditions, ensuring that communication is consistently available when needed.

Enhanced Worker Safety

Radios do not just provide highly efficient communications. They also double up as an extremely effective safety devices as well. The radio is the utility worker’s lifeline, especially for lone workers and personnel operating in remote locations. If they get into trouble, the radios support several potentially lifesaving applications in addition to emergency voice calling.

Emergency button

Radios come with an emergency ‘panic’ button, which can be programmed to send an alarm to supervisors and to colleagues’ radios, along with the person’s ID.

Man Down and Lone Worker

The Man Down alarm is triggered if a user has fallen over and the radio is horizontal. The Lone Worker alarm is sent if the radio is inactive beyond a set time.

GPS location services

GPS-enabled radios allow commanders to locate and track users and can be used to pinpoint a user who has issued the alarm or who is in a man down situation.

Intrinsically safe operations

Hytera offers world-leading ‘intrinsically safe’, ATEX/IECEx certified hand portable terminals and accessories enabling firefighters to communicate safely in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Improved Connectivity

Hytera’s DMR products ensure clear voice quality, reduced noise, longer standby time, higher spectrum utilisation, lower equipment costs, and safe encryption compatibility with digital and analog intercom. Hytera’s digital two-way radios provide instant PTT services to provide utility staff with individual, group, emergency and broadcast calls- keeping staff in touch with each other anywhere, any time. Hytera PoC solutions add rich multimedia broadband data.

Robust Devices

Hytera offers military grade PMR and PoC terminals capable of operating in harsh environments. Devices can withstand drops, shocks, vibration, extreme temperatures, dust, dirt and water ingress. In addition, Hytera also offers its portable e-Pack100 wireless ad-hoc repeater for temporary ad hoc networks, Push-to-Talk over Cellular devices and a range of body worn cameras that double as remote speaker microphones.

Converged communications

DMR networks can be combined into a converged communications system bringing together mission critical voice, CCTV, vehicle and body worn camera feeds, IoT sensor data, artificial intelligence and data analytics, PABX/PSTN telephony networks and broadband LTE cellular networks. The Hytera PMR-LTE Convergence solution interconnects PMR, Wi-Fi and LTE onto a single unified platform.

Reliable and Instant coverage

Hytera’s DMR solutions enhance worker efficiency and safety. Utility staff could keep in touch with the command center anywhere, and react immediately to actions and orders. Wide area signal coverage guarantees reliable communication even in harsh conditions.

Group Calling

Radios provide group calls, which allows supervisors to communicate with colleagues simultaneously, saving time, increasing efficiency and providing a better service for customers.
