When every second counts the ability to communicate is essential but when the network of stakeholders stretches from internal responders to outside agencies such as emergency services and local authorities that ability becomes strained.

The solution is an interoperable communication network that extends beyond the physical boundaries of any COMAH site to connect all interested agencies. To this end Airwave Direct, or Airwave Access, are subscriptions to the fully managed, supported and encrypted Airwave network that covers 99% of Great Britain land-mass.

Explore the real benefits of a high availability, real-time communications network that sees no boundaries and provides the cross-agency link you need to keep everyone in the know.

From the initial alert to resolution, all your internal teams need to be informed and kept up-to-date as the situation unfolds. This connectivity is complex in that not everyone uses the same device – or even network.

Employees in the thick of the situation require ATEX certified two-way radios; those in the control room and responsible for collating and distributing information could be using anything from a smartphone to a laptop; then there’s the managerial team who need a secure LTE mission critical alternative to a smartphone.

Team communications is the convergence of any team member, network, device or applications onto one broadband PTT (Push-to-Talk) platform for the sole purpose of keeping everyone connected at a time when informed decisions need to be made quickly in order to contain the situation.

Explore the team communications platform and devices that can be relied on when critical situations unfold.

Controlling a major incident relies on your most valuable asset – your emergency personnel, first responders and site teams, but they will not always be on site. You need to reach any on-call workers immediately and the temptation of relying on a smartphone needs to be avoided. What if they are in a signal blackspot or their battery has died?

Again, Motorola Solutions and Airwave partner up to offer the most resilient of solutions for ensuring the people you need most are within reach, regardless of where they are. The combination of the Advisor™ TPG2200 TETRA two-way pager and the Airwave network means your standby teams are alerted and mobilised immediately without issue.
