Throughout the Grampian region
As business competition increases communication becomes more important in order to ensure that productivity and efficiency remain at maximum levels. In response to this, Scot-Tel-Gould has provided a two way radio communication system which works throughout the Grampian region.
Fast communications
Using two way radios provides fast communication for companies without the call or data costs that mobile phones incur and all our radios are free from the hands free legislation of 2007 although they can be hands free if required.

Trunking radio explained
Placing a call on a conventional radio system can be frustrating, your channel may often by busy while neighbouring channels are available and under-utilised. Whereas these systems use one frequency, a trunked radio system works by employing multiple frequencies. It provides access to a shared pool of radio channels and when you want to place an individual or group call a channel is automatically allocated to all participants. The call takes place in private and once it's completed, the channel is returned to the pool for others to use. Sharing channels increases the availability of airtime to all users. The result is increased quality of service and reduced infrastructure and operating costs.

"Just as a modern bank provides access to a pool of ATM's, trunking provides access to a shared pool of radio channels"
Trunked radio provides fast call set up time along with a wide range of advanced features and functionality.
Examples of these features include emergency and priority call management, status messaging, dynamic regrouping or users and data/text messaging. The digital control channel provides a data gateway that allows enhanced features including security and subscriber verification, mobile data communications, system administration and seamless multi-site roaming.
Privacy
With a trunked radio system users only hear the conversation intended for them because they have exclusive use of the channel for the duration of the call. At all other times their radio is silent. It is difficult for unauthorized users to monitor the calls of a user. The degree of privacy can be even further enhanced by adding digital voice encryption. Individual radios can also be disabled if they are lost or stolen.
System Reliability
When using a conventional radio system a channel fault means that all users are prevented from communicating unless they know in advance what channel to switch to if another is available.
With a trunked system channels are allocated as needed so no user group is dependent on one channel for communication. In the event that a channel does fail it will most likely not be noticeable by the user.
System Control
All channels in the system are shared by all radio users and no channel is ever left idle when there is need for communication, therefore more users have access to the system. More access to the system means more efficiency and less cost to end users.
