UHF and 4WD communication - what you need to know
Safety is paramount when you head off the beaten track and 4WD communication, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, is a vital resource.
We don’t leave home without our mobile phones nowadays, and travelling off the grid shouldn't be any different.
In fact, your safety becomes more important when you are heading to a remote location where mobile coverage is not available.
Midland 4WD Centre has 4WD communication and navigation solutions to make sure you are safe and in touch with your family and friends while on the road.
Stay safe with these 4WD communication and navigation options
Remote travel is rewarding in so many ways, but it’s important to be prepared with the right 4WD communication and navigation systems.
There are many ways to stay in touch while you’re traversing Australia and travelling off the grid.
UHFs and radios
UHFs and radios are ideal for short-range communications between a convoy, and also communicating with other travellers on the road, for example, when there are road works ahead or livestock on the road.
GPS and navigation
No one wants to be lost in the middle of nowhere with no communication device, and that’s where a GPS and navigation will come in handy. Using advanced GPS systems can ensure this doesn't happen to you or help you find your way out of a tricky situation.
Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs)
A Personal Locator Device (PLB) is a communication device everyone should have when travelling remote parts of Australia. A PBL is a highly effective emergency distress radio beacon, which allows you to alert and be found by Search and Rescue Authorities in the event of an emergency.
Satellite phones and 4WD communications
Satellite phones are still one of the best ways to stay in touch when you’re off the grid. They can be used anywhere you can see the sky, even in remote areas and allow you to communicate in the event of an emergency or just to let friends and family know you are safe. Modern technology also allows us to extend our phone coverage when travelling offroad and at Midland 4WD Centre, we carry a range extender solutions.
