Repeaters
A repeater receives a weak handheld signal and rebroadcasts it at higher power, lifting a large site, an estate or a town-centre operation onto one clear shared channel. It is the answer when handhelds alone cannot cover the whole area.
Repeaters run on licensed frequencies and usually need a Technically Assigned Ofcom licence plus a sensible aerial position; we can survey your site and set it all up. Pair a repeater with licensed two way radios for reliable coverage across the whole operation.
Radio repeater FAQs
What does a repeater do?
It receives a weak handheld signal and rebroadcasts it at higher power from a better position, lifting a whole site onto one clear shared channel.
Do I need a special licence for a repeater?
Usually yes — a Technically Assigned Ofcom licence rather than a Simple one, because the frequency is coordinated for your specific site.
Where should a repeater antenna go?
As high and as clear as practical — that placement matters more than transmit power. We survey the site and specify the position.
Will one repeater cover my whole site?
Often, but not always. Large or multi-building estates sometimes need more than one, which the site survey establishes before you commit.
