Atex enhances communications.(Image: B-Fern-FRX.jpg ) FERN Communications, a leading provider of two-way radio A voice network that provides an always-on connection enabling the user to just "push the button and talk." Also called "dispatch radio," two-way radio has traditionally been used by police, fire, taxi and other mobile fleets. communications systems In telecommunication, a communications system is a collection of individual communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and data terminal equipment (DTE) usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. to the international upstream oil and gas industries, has announced that its FRX-1 Atex portable radio repeater (1) A communications device that amplifies (analog) or regenerates (digital) the data signal in order to extend the transmission distance. Available for both electronic and optical signals, repeaters are used extensively in long distance transmission. provided uninterrupted radio communications for Qserv crews while onboard Refers to a chip or other hardware component that is directly attached to the printed circuit board (motherboard).

"We often experience radio black spots onboard vessels because they are constructed with steel bulkheads and fitted with watertight doors," said Cushion. "In the past, Qserv had been forced to place a crewmember with a radio in this particularly difficult area of the Seawell. He would then relay radio messages back and forth. I'm happy to report that when the FRX-1 was placed in this and other difficult "black spot" areas of the ship, they were able to maintain radio communications without any breakdown in the signal," Following a three-week testing period on the Seawell, Qserv reported that the two FRX-1 units greatly enhanced the quality and consistency of radio communications. "Not only did the FRX-1 give us radio communications where we previously had little or no reception, it made it possible for the crew to communicate much more efficiently.," said Paul Strudwick, operations supervisor for Qserv. "We look forward to having the FRX-1 on the Seawell and other vessels as a standard feature of our onboard radio communications equipment package.
