Keeping workers safe<br />
at the press of a button<br />
There’s nothing worse than needing help<br />
but being unable to call for it.<br />
The next generation of<br />
Motorola Solutions<br />
MOTOTRBO twoway<br />
radios has arrived at<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> region communications<br />
specialist, Richardson<br />
Communications, offering the<br />
latest functionality to respond to<br />
workers in need.<br />
The MOTOTRBO DP4000e<br />
Series radios offer the latest in<br />
digital radio technology and<br />
offer the highest quality voice<br />
communications that two-radios<br />
are synonymous with. But what<br />
sets these radios apart - besides<br />
their high quality build, ruggedness<br />
and performance — are<br />
the advanced safety features that<br />
can be programmed.<br />
A bright, orange button on the<br />
top of the radio can be pressed to<br />
alert fellow works that you need<br />
help. Once pressed, the radio’s<br />
microphone will remain open,<br />
allowing for hands free communication<br />
to occur.<br />
The built in GPS allows the<br />
radio to be used with tracking<br />
solutions and in the event of<br />
an emergency will allow for<br />
precise locationing of the radio<br />
whether indoors or outdoors.<br />
Some smart, hands-free safety<br />
features that take advantage<br />
of inbuilt accelerometer technology<br />
can take these radios to the<br />
next level in safety.<br />
The user configurable Man<br />
Down function alerts other<br />
workers when a radio exceeds<br />
a pre-set angle of fall. So in the<br />
event that a worker falls, the<br />
alarm process is triggered.<br />
For those that work alone,<br />
monitoring their status can be<br />
achieved via the Lone Worker<br />
function. This configurable<br />
function monitors inactive<br />
movement as well triggering<br />
call and respond verification to<br />
ensure that a worker is safe.<br />
“With safety of workers<br />
becoming a critical issue in New<br />
Zealand, we are seeing a rise<br />
in the investment in technology<br />
that can help organisations<br />
keep workers safe and respond<br />
to workers that are in need or<br />
require emergency assistance.<br />
The DP4000e Series offer<br />
solutions that can fulfil their<br />
voice and data communication<br />
needs more than adequately,<br />
but the emergency features add<br />
that extra level of confidence<br />
to organisations”, says Mike<br />
Hyett from Richardson<br />
Communications.<br />
The MOTOTRBO DP4000e<br />
Series radios are built to perform,<br />
offering long battery life<br />
and high levels of audio, thanks<br />
to noise-cancelling microphone<br />
technology, and excellent radio<br />
fleet management with over-theair<br />
software updates.<br />
Richardson Communications<br />
have been in the business of<br />
communications for 35 years<br />
and have become a well-known<br />
name in the <strong>Waikato</strong> region in a<br />
broad range of industries from<br />
agriculture to retail. Their expert<br />
advice is the difference.<br />
