For many years the Seychelles Police force have used mobile phones to speak to each other while patrolling the beautiful islands of the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
Communication Specialists Ltd, experts in HF, VHF & UHF wireless communications systems, won a contract with United Nations to supply a new digital radio system to the Seychelles Police Force, which allowed the 4 main islands to be interconnected via a micro wave link between – Mahé, Praslin and La Dique, this project is funded by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
The state of the art Motorola Turbonet Digital Radio Network was initially installed on the island of Mahe and the second phase is underway which will connect Praslin and La Dique.
Communication Specialists Ltd have completed many projects in the past for United Nations an example when they recently installed 210 Armoured Personel Carriers with Codan HF radios for peace keeping missions so naturally they were a wise choice for this crime busting secure radio system.
CSL Ltd have had their work cut out on this project, antennas and repeaters have been installed to allow the network to communicate securely with each other, cherry pickers have been shipped in from the UK to assist with the treacherous conditions the engineers have had to work, not to mention the required dedication from our team of engineers to make sure this project completed successfully and on time.
Providing the Police Force TRBOnet software the Police Force can identify where the patrol cars are and now work towards a better response time, all members of the Police Force are now equipped with vehicle and handheld devices.
“The Seychelles Police Force is located very close to international shipping lanes and is on the front lines of drug trafficking and piracy in the region” said Kervin Labrosse, managing director at Communication Specialists Ltd.
