A
school needs to keep in touch with ground staff and caretakers and
provide them with a means of contact in the event of a health and
safety issue
Solution:
PMR446
handportable radio equipment is cost-effective and has neglible running
costs. With a range of up to 2 km coverage would not be a problem.
By using PMR446 equipment the school by-passes licence restrictions
that would apply in the case of PBR equipment. The equipment could
be taken off site and used on field trips anywhere in the UK and throughout
much of Europe.
Alternatives:
PBR
Handportables
Pros
- Licenced equipment regulated by the Radiocommunications Agency.
Less chance of interference from other users.
Cons
- Higher capital cost. Annual licence fee. Licensing restrictions
applying to area of use.
