Wind Farm Radios: Motorola’s Top Two Way Radios
Like many other countries, Canada realizes that wind power is an important way to diversify energy supplies; however, maintaining and operating wind farms can be dangerous work. Wind farm radios are a must to ensure employee safety and enhance productivity in this demanding work environment.
For example, wind farm workers must climb the ladder inside each tall steel tower to reach the generator and gearbox at the top of these large structures. The ability of technicians to stay in touch as they climb up and down inside steel towers is critical, but it can be very difficult for wireless communications to penetrate through the steel structures.
Running preventive maintenance, repairing problems and ensuring everything is functioning properly is essential on a wind farm, but distance, weather and steel structures means cellular devices are not the answer.
Motorola digital two way radios— – specifically, those in the MotoTRBO family – make excellent wind farm radios, allowing technicians to talk tower-to-tower, share information and stay safe. The wind farm radios listed below provide seamless communications not only inside and outside the towers, but also throughout the often large expanse of the wind farm, regardless of weather and harsh conditions.
