Radio over IP upgrade for Nelson Coastguard

Coastguard Nelson has upgraded to a digital Tait DMR T3 network, also upgrading their dispatch to an Omnicore Express Radio Dispatch Console.

The upgraded communication system uses Radio over IP and was fully self-funded through grants from Pub Charity, the Lion Foundation and Coastguard New Zealand. 

This upgrade has significantly enhanced the range and clarity of transmissions across its 10,400 km² operational area. It also allows sensitive operations to be conducted away from public radio channels and enables remote access to the dispatch console from a Windows tablet, significantly reducing stand-up time. 

Meanwhile, the Tasman and Nelson Harbour Masters and Nelson Surf Life Saving have also moved to a DMR (digital mobile radio) network, enabling all four marine emergency services to communicate over a common DMR Search and Rescue channel.
