APCOA parking, Maidstone UK, choose Icom LTE/PoC radio system

Sounds Good Technology has supplied the Icom LTE/PoC radio system to APCOA Parking Maidstone. Part of Europe's longest-established full-service parking management company, this will assist in the supervision of the public car parking facilities covering the Maidstone and Swale area.

Neil Gentry, Senior Contract Manager at APCOA Parking, said, 'Having experienced operational issues with our radio system we sought a replacement that offered: robust, waterproof, reliable, clear two-way communication, as well as officer location tracking with an emergency alarm. Sounds Good worked with me to explore our options, identified some radio solutions and provided us with the units for a trial period to test in all conditions.'

Having evaluated the systems, the Icom IP503H LTE/PoC radios proved to work without fault in all conditions and the dispatcher console allowed us to locate our officers in real-time. Our order was delivered ahead of schedule, tested and demonstrated on-site. Feedback from our team and full coverage across the 270 square miles we cover with crystal clear communication confirms our purchase decision. No identified dead spots and no latency when communicating – the equipment has worked in all extremes of weather and of course we have the usual Sounds Good backup.'
