MEA's old radio system required a radical transformation. It suffered with a poor coverage footprint and messages weren’t getting through.

DCRS, a market leader in the supply, implementation and support of two-way radio communication solutions and one of the UK's largest Motorola Distributors announced recently to have partnered with Manchester Enterprise Academy (MEA). 

MEA's old radio system required a radical transformation. It suffered with a poor coverage footprint and messages weren’t getting through. MEA understood that they needed to move forward to protect both the staff & pupils. Therfore, is was a priority to procure a future-proof system that could grow with their site.

DCRS proposed to MEA options from leading manufacturers and after carrying out a site survey they decided on the compact, smartphone style radio Motorola’s MOTOTRBO SL1600. With a Shatterproof Active View display even the heaviest of radio users such as the caretakers now have a product that can withstand knocks and bumps. Adding in the battery conservation function users are getting up to 12 hours per day which is ideal for the early morning workers.
