BLUETOOTH
BLUETOOTH - EDITORIAL
Industry has demanded that CRS Accessories investigate and manufacture a Bluetooth solution for 2way radio.
We have tested existing Bluetooth options on the market and came to the realisation that there was nothing robust enough to meet commercial applications. The technical director of CRS Accessories, Justin Salisbury commented, “You can’t take a mobile phone Bluetooth concept and think you can simply make a few modifications so it will be suitable for the 2way radio industry. The market and usage for the equipment is vastly different, hence our starting point has been the 2way radio industry requirements – battery life, adaptability, reliability, toughness, affordability, etc. No-one knows 2-way radio users needs better than a dedicated 2way radio accessories manufacturer.”
The CRS Bluetooth has all the above and more….. 10 hour talk time; 10 meter range from paired radio; high impact casing and Kevlar reinforced cable strands. The CRS Bluetooth is beneficial to all environments and industries, offering connections to all our earpieces as well as heavy-duty headsets, throat mics and vehicle hands free applications.
Justin believes the OH&S applications for this product are endless when you consider use of a Bluetooth 2way radio solution in a vehicle situation – an invaluable hands free solution.
Another strong market is Bluetooth heavy-duty noise cancelling headsets. The manufacturing industry has enormous reliability issues with the cable between the radio and headset catching on machinery – NO MORE CABLES CATCHING IN MACHINERY. Not only does the CRS Bluetooth provide greater flexibility of not being connected to the radio, it is also a huge OH&S benefit to the manufacturing industry.
The CRS Bluetooth is designed to work up to 10 meters away from its paired radio. Many applications spring to mind such as office situations – couriers/emergency services/call centre operators (no more broken cables); courier training for operators; extending radio coverage when out of the vehicle for traffic control; respiration equipment/fully enclosed hazardous environment suits – the list is endless.
Commercial 2-way radio traffic combined with long working hours meant the battery life had to well and truly exceed the pitiful battery life of current products on the market, and we have achieved this by doubling the battery life to 10 hours.
CRS Accessories have made a product that is affordable for all 2way radio consumers, and are excited as to where this innovation will lead the industry.
