Why Hytera is important to Precision RF Systems and its customers.

 As a former Sales Engineer for Hytera, I have a unique perspective.

Hytera makes amazing and cost-effective products. They still care about customer feedback and impact. They still innovate their products and always bring new features and functions to the market. They are quick to resolve outstanding issues if they arise. Hytera’s product line is diverse and can solve many different business needs. Many of those solutions can be progressively implemented, allowing you to make budget decisions with end goal in mind without having to sacrifice functionality. As an example, if you are currently using analog radio systems and want to expand to a digital mode for security and privacy, buying into a Hytera solution is the right way to go. Hytera’s mixed mode operation allows you to replace the infrastructure (repeater[s]) with DMR capable equipment allowing you to defer the purchase of the DMR subscriber radios until they fit into the budget. School Districts love this option and quickly find funding to complete these projects based on their user’s experience.

Why Unication is important to Precision RF Systems and its customers.

Recently I was on a business trip and one of the customers showed me the G5 Unication device. I didn’t turn it on, but I was impressed by the size, weight and quality of the G5 pager. Then what shocked me the most was the functionality. I’ve been in the industry for a while now (I got my start with Motorola Minitor I’s if that’s a hint to how long it’s been.) I learned that the G5 can operate like any other 2 tone pager, but….. it also works on P25 and P25 Phase II systems. And then to learn the price, I was sold. Exploring further into the product line will bring value to my county and its surrounding partners at a very reasonable price as compared to having to buy radios for all of it’s staff that may not need radios.

Why National 2 Way is important to Precision RF Systems and its customers.

Want to know what a cool, energetic and forward-thinking small business looks like? National 2 Way is it!
Quickly, N2W makes radio accessories, and you might be saying, yeah and so what? N2W takes your suggestions and turns them into a market. If you think you have an idea on how to do what you do better with an accessory, these guys will listen and bring it to market.

Here are a few examples:

1.      Back when I first got started in the industry, those that would wear an earpiece basically lost situation awareness in that ear. N2W brings the Hi-Def line of products to the market. This earpiece puts a little speaker in your ear, but it is so small that rather than an ear blocking insert, the insert simply holds the speaker in the center of your ear canal with plenty of space to let the outside world in at the same time. This is a game changer for public safety and security where communications privacy is just as important as situation awareness.

2.      During COVID it became clear that Emergency Medical workers needed to augment their communications tools with handsfree Push-To-Talk. N2W brought to the market a magnetic bracelet that would interface to a radio covert mic to allow those workers to stay patient focused and connected to their teams while remaining safe. The bracelet could be placed under gloves or other PPE but is complaint to be cleaned/sanitized like all other ER devices adding in the reduction of transmissible pathogens.

N2W realized that many dispatchers would appreciate having options for their headset. N2W is working on a behind the head style using the same Hi-Def speakers to allow dispatchers the ability to audibly collaborate with their teams without having to choose between radio, 911 call, or team member. 

Why Zoleo is important to Precision RF Systems and its customers.

This one is near and ear to my heart. Zoleo usually targets hikers, overlanders, and those with limited terrestrial communications. I came across Zoleo as my local department of emergency management office had issued these to the elected officials throughout my county as a means to have another form of communications in the event all the other options were unavailable. 

Why this tool over the competitors?

It uses an application on your cell phone, so you are already used to the interface device. The application can chose to use the normal networks if available or the Satellite interface if they are not. In other words, it takes the guess work out of trying to connect. And finally, it uses the Iridium satellite network. Yes I know, some of the cellular carriers offer service from StarLink, but think about an event that cripples the normal networks and then everyone tries to use StarLink. Here in the Puget Sound metro area that would be 5.1 million people? Because this requires requires specialized equipment and a subscription, it means most folks won't have access in the affected area. Not to mention that the Zoleo application limits its connections (default every 12 minutes) to reduce congestion.
