Airport caterer selects Simoco Xd DMR

Simoco has supplied a Simoco Xd Tier II system to Alpha Flight Services, a catering company that operates at Perth Airport - one of the busiest international transport hubs with over 13.6 million passengers per year.

To meet the airport’s growth in commercial and corporate flights, Alpha Flight Services needed to address and improve its operational communications, ensuring that catering staff and catering van drivers could communicate seamlessly on a dedicated reliable network at all times. Simoco approached Alpha Flight Services to develop a complete end-to-end DMR network solution, which included DMR portables that operated on Simoco’s industry-leading DMR infrastructure.

Previously the company used mobile phones, which can be unreliable, costly and fail to offer the seamless, all-informed push-to-talk communications needed to ensure worker safety.

“The clear audio and assured coverage gives us the confidence that our drivers and personnel can stay in constant communication and respond quickly to issues in the busy communications-critical environment,” said Daniel Morgan, operation manager at Alpha Flight Services. “Additionally, Simoco Xd is software upgradable to Tier III, so it also gives us the flexibility to grow as our requirements change into the future.”
