RadioComms Connect set to be a winner

With just three weeks until this year’s major radio and combined communications event opens in Melbourne, the list of those involved continues to grow. Exhibitors, speakers and delegates from Europe, the USA and Asia are signing up for what is proving itself to be a worthy addition to the calendar.

RadioComms Connect returns to Etihad Stadium, Melbourne, on 18-19 November for the third year and looks set to gather even more radio users and industry professionals together than last year, when over 250 attended the two-day event.

If you are looking to view the latest technology available from the 40+ exhibitors, learn from a panel of expert speakers, and network with your colleagues and peers at the annual radio communications industry gala dinner, you need to attend this event next month.

The conference program will include presentations from experts on RoIP, interoperability, the digital dividend, infrastructure, IP-based technology, communications for transport and spectrum management.

There are eight overseas speakers in the line-up of 28, including the chairman of the International TETRA Association, Phil Godfrey, and Sir Chris Fox, former president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, UK.

Highlights include an afternoon plenary on day one that will take a close look at current and emerging standards with a series of presentations examining P25, TETRA and NXDN by experts from Tait Radio Communications, Kenwood Electronics and the TETRA Association.

Delegates will also be able to scrutinise and discuss these standards and what they mean for their organisations during the exhibition, where many of the stands offer solutions on these platforms.

A continuing problem facing two-way radio is the shortage of qualified RF engineers and technicians who can service and set up the modern analog/digital two-way. In a bid to alleviate this critical situation, RMIT University will outline its thoughts on the current state of play in its presentation, '2015 and beyond - Are you ready to converge? Vocational upskilling to meet new technology demands in the radio communications industry'.

Supported by Radio Comms Asia-Pacific and the Australasian TETRA Forum, and in association with ARCIA, RadioComms Connect now attracts delegates, visitors, speakers and visitors from all over the world.
