Electricity utility makes the switch to DMR
New Zealand electricity utility company EA Networks has moved from an analog network to a DMR solution designed and developed by Tait Communications.
The DMR network has increased worker safety and efficiency for the mid-Canterbury electricity distribution company, which delivers power to approximately 17,450 customers through almost 3000 kilometres of distribution lines.
The network demonstrated its value during the region’s severe windstorms in September 2013, with the clarity of voice message over the digital network making it easier for the company’s field workers and dispatch centre to communicate effectively without the need to repeat instructions.
To address congestion issues, Tait demonstrated the network’s trunking capabilities. Tait is also currently working with EA Networks on implementing a location services application to boost the visibility of EA Networks’ mobile workforce during peak times with automatic vehicle location (AVL).
The analog-to-digital migration plan included the implementation of a five-site DMR Tier 3 trunked solution commissioned by Tait and incorporates DMR Tier 3 TB9300 base stations, TM9300 mobile radios and TP9300 portable radios.
