New and Improved Communications for Bedales School
2826 are delighted to announce a new relationship with Bedales School as the chosen provider to supply, install and maintain a Hytera DMR digital radio solution.
Schools, colleges and universities are busy environments often spread over large sites. Allowing pupils to safely and efficiently move around the site, as well as ensuring staff are appropriately connected with one another, can be a challenge when it comes to communication. Bedales School’s 120 site is home to three campuses: Dunannie (the Pre-pre), Dunhurst (the Prep) and Bedales (the senior school.)
“Due to our large rural location with minimal phone signal, we required a simple way to maintain effective communication between staff across the three school sites for day-to-day operations and in the event of a failure of our internal phone system. The Hytera radio system allows instant communication across our entire site which is isolated from our IT and Telephony network. With a battery backup, we can still communicate effectively even in the event of a complete power failure. We're extremely happy with the Hytera solution and the services provided by our partner 2826 Ltd.” S. Phillips, Network Manager.
The system will be used across the school’s grounds which include girls’ and boys’ boarding houses and an array of sporting facilities incorporating an indoor swimming pool, multi gym, 8 indoor badminton courts, full-size floodlit AstroTurf and 17 acres of sports fields. The Hytera DMR system consists of a pair of UHF RD625 dual slot base station repeaters with battery backup offering seamless coverage across the entire estate. Hytera PD785 keypad and display handhelds were chosen for their IP67 robustness, long battery life and colour display and keypad allowing ease of use of functions such as individual, group and emergency calls, text messaging and lone worker alarms.
“It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Shane and his team at Bedales. Now that the system is fully operational we will be discussing further enhancements once the school is back in full swing and when COVID restrictions allow. Another contract win here further cements our position as the go-to Voice & Data solutions provider in Hampshire and the surrounding counties”. Stuart Young, 2826 Founder.
