Syndico and Samlex Europe Announce Strategic Partnership for Bespoke Repeater Cabinet Solutions

Source: The Critical Communications Review | Gert Jan Wolf editor

The initiative was driven by increasing demand from Syndico’s customers for an integrated repeater and battery backup package.

Syndico Distribution Ltd., a leading value-add distributor of professional two-way communication solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Samlex Europe, a globally recognised designer and manufacturer of high-quality mobile power supply products. This collaboration brings to market a purpose-built repeater cabinet solution designed to enhance the performance, reliability, and ease of deployment for critical communication systems.

Since its founding in 1991, Samlex Europe has delivered innovative power conversion products to customers in over 90 countries, earning a reputation for engineering excellence and long-term reliability. Syndico, known for its specialist distribution of professional communication technologies, continually seeks to address the operational challenges faced by its reseller network and their end-users. The partnership with Samlex represents a shared commitment to developing practical, high-performance solutions tailored to real-world requirements.

The initiative was driven by increasing demand from Syndico’s customers for an integrated repeater and battery backup package. Syndico identified Samlex as the ideal partner to design and manufacture a robust, compact, and fully customised cabinet capable of housing leading compact repeater models, specifically the Hytera HR655 and the KENWOOD NXR-1700/1800.

Following a collaborative design and engineering process, the result is the Samlex Customised Base Station Cabinet, a sleek and space-efficient rack that combines the repeater unit with Samlex’s SEC-1225G BBM desktop power supply and integrated battery backup capability. This all-in-one configuration ensures continuous operation in demanding environments, making it particularly valuable in sectors where uninterrupted push-to-talk communications are essential for operational efficiency and workforce safety.

The cabinet solution offers simplified installation, reduced footprint, and an elegant, professional finish. Its design not only protects and organises mission-critical equipment but also streamlines maintenance and deployment in both fixed and mobile applications.

Gareth Jones, Syndico’s Head of Sales, commented:

“We were delighted to find Samlex in our search for an all-in-one repeater cabinet solution. The fact that they were able to design something which works seamlessly with both Hytera and KENWOOD repeaters, and will enable end-users to tidily install a repeater with power backup where space is limited, is going to add huge value to our customers”.

Marcel van Veen, Samlex’ Managing Director, added:

“We are extremely proud of the total solution we could offer to Syndico and grateful for the trust and confidence that Syndico gave us.”

By integrating proven repeater technology with dependable, uninterrupted power supply in a single, custom-engineered solution, Syndico and Samlex Europe have set a new standard for compact, reliable communications infrastructure.
