After testing both analogue and digital radios, Brentwood decided to use Motorola  DP3600, digital radios. By using a repeater unit positioned centrally on the 4th floor, with its antennas strategically placed on different floors, these handheld radios could achieve full coverage throughout the multi-storey building.

The robust DP3600 can make and receive calls at the touch of a button. When voice is not possible, staff can generate text messages on its keypad.

Managers can use the DP3600’s display to select and talk privately to individuals, or dial up the whole group. This digital radio also allows them to monitor the safety status of ‘lone workers’ who operate away from the group. To call for help at any time, users can alert colleagues by simply pressing their ‘Emergency’ button.

The management were very impressed by the reliable coverage of the radio system. The flexibility and functionality of the digital radios make it a lot easier for the hotel to deliver its renowned hospitality.
