Case Study

The Client: Marine Rescue Western Australia

The Challenge: The challenge is to provide complete, safe, and uninterrupted 24/7/365 radio coverage along the entire vast coastline of Western Australia, addressing gaps in coverage and limited volunteer resources.

The Solution: The solution involved using Radio over IP technology and robust equipment to ensure continuous, safe radio monitoring and response capabilities, even in less populated areas. PowerShields’ Commander 2000VA UPS was chosen, given the critical nature of the communications housed in each of the 44 rack servers, the UPS was crucial, protecting the equipment and ensuring constant connectivity. The expandable Commander RT 2000VA UPS accommodated future system demands with additional battery modules.
