Radio-Tech Ltd Pioneers of Wireless Technology
Broadcast Technology
Used to deliver TV and Radio Services from
ground based transmitters and satellites, limited
digital data delivery

Radio-Tech Ltd Pioneers of Wireless Technology
Cellular Network Technology
Requires an Operator Licence and
Infrastructure Users pay per message, per kb. Per
text etc.... GSM, GPRS, SMS etc.... Coverage is
beyond the users control Coverage patterns
dynamically change due to load shedding Power
levels are relatively high leading to cases of
interference to sensitive instruments

Radio-Tech Ltd Pioneers of Wireless Technology
Private Mobile Radio
Requires a site licence Free to use once you pay
for the licence PMR, TETRA, Paging, Private
Telemetry Good for Voice Process Data Lack
of flexibility difficult to embed in bespoke
applications Poor Battery Life hours days
between charges Fixed Protocols unable to
support bespoke data
