DMR on the grid at the Grand Prix

Simoco will provide over 800 DMR portable radios, as well as system infrastructure and accessories to support this year’s Australian Grand Prix, to be held in Melbourne from 13 to 16 March. Used prior to, during and post-race, the radios will be used by the Australian Grand Prix Corporation and many contractors involved in the event.

The infrastructure and radio equipment will be supplied on a rental basis.

The Australian Grand Prix attracts an estimated 300,000 attendees over the weekend, and operating the event safely and smoothly relies on radio communication solutions.

Simoco has been working at the site since late January when the Australian Grand Prix Corporation began to implement the first phase of operations to support the event build teams.

Simoco says it has seen an increase in the demand for its rental services over the last 12 months with deployments at major sporting and entertainment venues as well as across other sectors including construction, security, production and mining.
