Panorama’s TRNB series of specialist TETRA railway antennae has been available for a year but has already attracted some notable successes.

Antenna manufacturers were reporting good levels of interest at the TETRA World Congress in Budapest and most seemed to feel the market for their products was pretty healthy despite the depressed global economic situation.

John Thomson, technical sales and support manager at Panorama Antennas, says: ‘We are doing a fair bit more in Asia, although not to the same level of activity as we are experiencing in Europe, which is still a healthier market for us.’

Like many in the industry, Thomson reports that customers are looking very carefully at costs in the public safety sector.

‘So, we are developing products and packages that reduce the cost of installation,’ he says. ‘We do this by providing installation solutions that reduce the amount of damage to vehicles and by reducing the installation time using plug in and play techniques that require the minimum amount of work.’

High demand

The company has a whole range of TETRA products so it can provide a solution for any application, although Thomson says the highest areas of demand are still for public safety applications, transportation and industrial use.
