Far Eastern radio deal completes

Derby-based radio communications specialist Team Simoco has completed an Indonesian contract. It supplied a mobile radio system for a liquid natural gas plant in the Far Eastern country.

The Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) project was for the Badak LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) plant in Bontang, East Kalimantan, and involved Team Simoco partnering systems integrator PT Alssa.

The radio system is designed to cover an area of about 220 sq km from a single transmission site with four carriers and supports about 500 radio users equipped with hand portable devices.

Ian Carr, Team Simoco’s chief executive, said: "This is our first TETRA system contract in Indonesia’s oil and gas sector, marking a very important step for us as a company.

"We view this as a beachhead contract that will enable us to clearly demonstrate our capability to local industries and through our partnership with PT Alssa we are well positioned to expand our influence in the region’s TETRA markets."
