Daniels Electronics has recently completed the installation and deployment of a national radio network in Taiwan . Working in conjunction with our Taiwanese System Integrator Harvest General Trading Company http://www.harvest-tw.com.tw/, Daniels supplied over 40 radio repeaters for deployment across the country to create a communications backbone for the National Fire Agency http://www.nfa.gov.tw/en/index.aspx .

 

 

 

The National Fire Agency is part of the Ministry of the Interior and has national responsibility for fire prevention, fire fighting (urban and rural) as well as medical response and ambulance services. The need for a comprehensive radio network to coordinate response efforts was well understood and critically important with the increasing number of severe typhoons that Taiwan experiences annually.

 

Harvest General's team of engineers worked with the National Fire Agency to determine the agency's immediate requirements as well as long term communications evolution plan. Once the requirements were understood it was clear to the Managing Director of Harvest General Alan Teoh, that Daniels Electronics was an essential part of the design of the radio network. "We have worked with Daniels Electronics for a number of years on a variety of projects in Taiwan and we have always found their products to be of the highest quality, a proven reliable design and a product that is easy to install" said Mr Teoh. "For such a critical application as the backbone of the National Fire Agency's radio network we felt confident that Daniels products would meet the requirements of the NFA and ensure years of trouble free operation in all conditions."

 

Deployment of the radio network began in August 2007 and all 42 sites were installed, commissioned and successfully turned over to the National Fire Agency in the spring of 2008. Since that time the National Fire Agency has found the radio network has worked reliably and continuously despite a high number of severe typhoons this season. Plans are now underway for further upgrades and expansion of the network to provide greater radio coverage across the country.
