Proven VHF alarm communication

March 2017 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection, Products & Solutions

Security communications specialist RDC started in 1978, pioneering VHF radio communication products for the industry from the onset. Since then, RDC has gained a reputation for advanced radio networks and VHF products.

RDC is at the helm of the VHF market, yet the company sweetens the deal even further with its value-added services. These include free technical training courses, free frequency management and 24/7 technical support.

The current TX790 range of transmitters was launched in 2011. Performance of RDC’s units has been proven under demanding real-life security conditions, and constantly improved. Today the range is trusted with confidence by installers. Installation options are numerous with RDC ‘TurboCID’ as well as serial interfaces to major alarm panel brands.

RDC transmitters are supported by an advanced VHF network system. A high-speed format slashes transmission time to under 100 milliseconds. Reliability is further bolstered by various features including base and repeater handshaking, direct signal paths to the base station, up to thirty repeaters per network and the ability to accommodate multiple frequencies. RDC base stations and repeaters are designed specifically for local conditions and are 100% manufactured and tested in-house. No third-party units are used in the system.

The in-car base station features are unique to RDC. This innovative in-car monitoring system sends alarm signals to response vehicles as well as the control room. Customer details can be viewed in the car, allowing officers to react immediately and cutting out control-room processing time. The inclusion of the in-car system gives security companies the opportunity to gain a competitive advantage by speeding up response times.

Innovation continues at RDC with the new bi-reactional transmitter range under development testing. This patented technology will bring VHF communication to a new level of reliability and sophistication. As with previous RDC developments, the new technology will seamlessly integrate with existing systems and networks. Combining this with the currently available integration with GSM technology makes for a very exciting future.

VHF remains the most cost effective form of alarm communication. RDC also supplies advanced GPRS and SMS systems, but will never sell an expensive system where it is not necessary.
