Professional Radiocommunications Planning
Planning a radio system is more than just buying some plug & play equipment requiring careful research and planning to ensure that the chosen solution meets not only the operational requirements but also is affordable. Most organisations do not have the expertise within their organisation to carry out the necessary pre contract preparation as well as the successful implementation of the project.
Ochil Digital’s Principal Consultant, Terry Goddard, has over forty years of experience in the Radio Communications Industry. Terry has a wealth of experience at all levels as can be seen from the list of projects below. He has worked with traditional analogue, MPT, TETRA, and Microwave technologies.
