Channel 28’s TETRA radio solution appearing at METSTRADE

UK-based marine electronic specialist Channel 28 will be offering this year’s METSTRADE attendees the opportunity to experience it’s range of superyacht crew communications solutions.

Most commonly used by the UK emergency services, TETRA platforms offer strong, reliable and competent communications. Channel 28’s solution is provisioned to meet the needs of larger yachts with up to 60 crew.

The TETRA system is compatible across a range of different handsets, including the sleek and compact ST7500 and ST7000 Motorola handsets. Driven by style as well as function, customer-facing crew can now benefit from clear and efficient voice communication.

Adrian Hicks, director of Channel 28, said, “TETRA, also known as Terrestrial Trunked Radio, is a technology used to provide ‘mission critical’ private mobile communications services needed by professional users such as the emergency services. We have introduced this platform to the cComm solution as privacy on superyachts is paramount, but it is also capable of transmitting across a much larger number of channels on much larger superyachts than standard dgital mobile radios.”

As well as the new TETRA radio station, Channel 28 will also be demonstrating the cClear duplex engine room communications system, which debuted at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. Channel 28’s Morse Service Call Buttton, an essential device for superyacht owners, will also be of the cCom portfolio able to try.

At this year’s METSTRADE show (19^th – 21^st November), Channel 28 will be based in the Superyacht Pavilion, stand 11.415.
