NSW Ambulance has won a prestigious international award for the ‘Best Use of Critical Communications in Public Safety’ at the International Critical Communications Awards (ICCA).
The NSW Ambulance Far West P25 Radio Network project was recognised at the prestigious annual event, which acknowledges the success of products, organisations and individuals that have pushed boundaries and capabilities within the field.
NSW Ambulance partnered with Vertel Telecommunications to design, construct and implement the P25 digital radio network in the Far West (Broken Hill) area. This was an innovative project that resulted in resolving the radio communications issues for paramedics and their patients in a large section of remote regional NSW.
