What is an In-Building Solution? In the two-radio industry it means that your building requires more than just an “out of the box” solution. Whether you are a school, hospital, corporate building, manufacturing plant or warehouse. Your two-way radios are critical means of communications.
At URCI we pride ourselves on being Chicago’s leader when it comes to solving existing problems or helping a new construction project get designed right the first time. Our consultative approach will allow you to work side by side with our staff to make sure that the end result will meet your current and future needs.
What type of equipment do I need to make sure that my building has adequate radio coverage? Our staff will cover the many options that are available. Sometimes a basic repeater (a device that receives a signal one frequency and retransmits it on another) with an omni-directional base antenna and standard coaxial cable is only required.
Why would I need radiating coaxial cable? This special cable is typically used on projects such as in tall building with sub-basements or in wide multi-level buildings such as a school that has long corridors. Since this cable acts as an antenna source it enables your portable radios to have a shorter distance to travel. The end result of a properly designed radiating cable system should be that your portable-to-portable coverage offers clear communications when any portable radio tries to communicate with another within the building.
Why won’t our cellular phones work in our building? This is becoming a more common problem with cellular phones becoming more that just a phone…they are walkie-talkies, email devices, appointment books, and document storage to name a few.
The most common solution to this problem is a Bi-Directional Amplifier. Companies such as Kaval & EMR are two of the premier providers of this product. While these are not inexpensive solution, most of our clients are finding them to be a necessity. By working with our engineering staff we can provide a budgetary quote.
How can I transfer audio or video over IP? Canopy is a solution that Motorola has helped bring to the marketplace. On our home page there is a navigation tab called Wireless Broadband, click on this page to gain a better understanding how Canopy can help eliminate those costly T1 Line charges you receive every month.
URCI can offer many other solutions that can give your building or village secure communications. We also provide solutions using Distributive Antenna Systems and Voting Receivers. Call URCI today to find out how we can solve your communications needs. |
