Communication Solutions for Utilities

Empower Your Utility to Meet Escalating Demands

Utility companies are feeling the heat of another set of challenges. Energy provisioning is being consumerized as customers embrace green technologies, from solar panels to electric cars. Beyond renewables, customers are so comfortable with the online experience, they can switch energy providers with a click. That's why mission-critical communications are imperative. Reliable, resilient and secure, an ASTRO ® 25 radio network handles the full scope of daily operations and unimaginable disasters. It empowers utilities with greater safety and efficiency, while delivering the continuity of service their customers expect.

From the wastewater plant to the power line, at the office or the substation, we help utility companies work more efficiently, productively and safely in the most difficult conditions and demanding environments. Our solutions connect different personnel, facilities and equipment together to help your operation run more efficiently and safely, control infrastructure, and reduce risks and costs.

Two-Way Radio

APX P25 two-way radios redefine safety in communication. Every innovative feature and function is designed with input from real users. From its rugged, easy to operate design to the loudest, clearest audio, your crews can hear and be heard distinctly above road noise, diesel engines and severe weather. APX stands up to the toughest conditions and most extreme environments to help your workers and community stay safe.

For daily operations and disaster response, ASTRO 25 provides the interoperability you need to communicate directly with other agencies. If a broken water main requires police to close a road or a power outage needs public safety support, crews can respond more safely and efficiently.
