ROCK Networks Partners with Barrett Communications to Deliver VHF and HF Radios in Canada for Tactical, Critical, and Humanitarian Communications
Ottawa, ON – May 31, 2022 ROCK Networks, a leading provider of wireless, broadband, and satellite has partnered with Barrett Communications, a global designer and manufacturer of tactical VHF and HF radios to develop a unique communications solution for some of the most remote regions in Canada.
Military, law enforcement agencies, and humanitarian groups around the world depend on Barrett radios for critical communication in remote areas not serviced by traditional infrastructure. HF and VHF radios eliminate the challenges of operating in such locations, providing for transmission of voice, email, and data signals without relying on any supporting infrastructure.
This partnership allows ROCK Networks to sell and service Barrett radios with a focus on developing custom solutions for military forces, law enforcement, and humanitarian groups deployed in remote areas of Canada where traditional infrastructure does not currently exist.
“ROCK Networks is on a mission to bridge the digital divide in Canada. There are many areas of the country where traditional communications infrastructure does not exist,” said Joe Hickey, President and CEO of ROCK Networks. “With Barrett Communications’ innovative technology, we can provide a reliable solution for critical communication in remote areas globally”.
Barrett communications CEO, Andrew Burt, commented “We are pleased to be working together with ROCK Networks to support our customers throughout Canada. We appreciate the inhospitable environment that our systems are deployed in and are proud to provide field proven VHF and HF communications solutions into the Canadian market.”
