FRX - 1

FRX - 1 is a portable ATEX approved radiorepeater. It is the only of its kind that can be used in potentially flammable and explosive areas. The repeater effectivly transmits radio signals around structures so they will always reach the receiving radio. This will help to ensure continuous communication between radio users, which in turn helps to ensure both safety standard and productivity..

FRX - 1 operates both UHF and VHF band. It has 4 channels that allows the user to be able to find the optimum channel / frequency in a busy workplace where one often share the same frequencies.

The fact that the repeater is portable and that it operates with Li-Ion battery allows it to be easily moved to places where there is no access to electricity and it will work there for more than 12 hours before it needs recharging.
