TACTICOM ICOM RADIO SYSTEMS

Tacticom & JPS Delivering Cost-Effective, Reliable Communications Solutions JPS invented the RoIP standard that we have all come to rely on and at TACTICOM we are very pleased to accept the opportunity and challenge of developing JPS gateways and other JPS associated equipment and technologies throughout the UK & Northern Ireland. We're also helping to develop and support JPS sales in Southern Ireland among other regions and countries including countries as far a field as New Zealand. We are developing close relations with professional distributors, dealers and systems companies to bring the JPS "gold standard" of interoperability gateways to organisations throughout the UK who need to reliably combine and expand their communication technologies. From a more localized single channel gateway allowing POC and DMR to work seamlessly together with full audio to large scale multi technology system JPS has the solution. All brands All types All the time... For sixty years TACTICOM has focussed and worked on improving the independence and choice availability to buyers of two way radio systems, In 2003 we were the first company in the UK to adopt and distribute HYT (now HYTERA) products. We have worked with dozens of two way radio manufacturers and are very experienced and specialised in testing and further developing these products. We can trace our direct two way radio communications ancestry back to Plymouth Telecom Services (PTS) which was established in 1964 by Mr David Rawlings. PTS became part of Tacticom in 2000. Tacticom Radio Systems was instrumental in co-developing and bringing to the UK market the Rexon RL328, Rexon UK was a joint project between Tacticom and Rexontec of Taiwan. That was back in 2004 and the RL328 was a superb hand portable radio and one of the the first hand portable radios to challenge the big four or five manufacturers at that time. Since 1999 and long before anyone else actually independently tested two way radios themself, normally relying on the manufacturers stated specifications, Tacticom was testing radios to destruction and back typically throwing radios of cliffs, running over them with 4X4 trucks, or attaching them to the outside of rucksacks whilst walking in the Scottish mountains (sometimes for for days and nights on end)! Tacticom has conducted these tests on a regular basis and we keep adding to the range and depth of the tests we conduct to the point where some manufacturers come to us for product testing! We tested (and still do) all the known makes and models of two way radio and by consistent testing over proven known ground (our proving grounds) find or have found their "drop off point" this is the point where they FAIL! We then dismiss all the the models of all the better known brands that cannot continue to work up to the various known "drop off points" and we have shelves and boxes full of these failed radio models. Likewise we then compare all the other emerging two way radio brands with these known "drop off points" (where a radio fails due to electrical or mechanical damage or stops working/communicating) and ONLY the emerging brands that have a two way radio model which can pass these tests are further considered for sale by Tacticom. We test hand portable radios in unique ways, methods which involve real world testing to an extreme level which quickly uncovers hidden weaknesses in all areas of the radios design, construction and operation. Weaknesses that MIL Spec 810 G simply does not uncover! We offer advice and solutions to these weaknesses and some manufacturers adopt these solutions - OTHERS DO NOT AND MANY OF THE OEM/RE-BADGED HANDSETS CURRENTLY ON SALE HAVE BEEN TESTED BY TACTICOM AND HAVE FAILED OUR TESTS. Since the launch of Rexon UK in 2004 we have trialed and tested dozens and dozens of makes and hundreds of models of PMR & DMR hand portable radios and around 95% of hand held PMR/DMR radios tested fail our tests for one reason or another. Surprisingly other companies often adopt these failed radios and are happy to retail them, WE DO NOT! "We lead where others follow" is more than just words in this context.
