Consolidated Gulf Co. (CGC), the largest Telecom and IT solution provider in Qatar, is providing TETRA radios to several companies which are involved in the construction of the state-of-the-art New Doha International Airport, NDIA. CGC has delivered TETRA radios to ADCC JV, Sky Oryx JV, Sinohydro Gamuda, Eversendai, Punz Lyod and Anel Electrical Contacting Co., which are using these vital communication sets for hassle-free group communications at NDIA project sites, so as to complete the construction work on time. CGC-supplied TETRA radio sets, which are very effective in the construction industry for smooth group communications and to increase efficiency, connectivity and coordination among workers, are proving to be very useful for the companies engaged in the construction of NDIA, which is expected to open for traffic by 2010.
Nikolaos Rigas, Dep. Project Manager at ADCC, a joint venture of Aktor, Al Darwish, Costruzioni Cimolai Armando and Cybarco, thanked CGC for prompt supply of TETRA radio sets. "Being a leading technology solution provider, CGC is perfectly placed to serve the construction industry better. Its Sepura TETRA communication system is helping us a lot in handling different responsibilities at the large construction sites. With high-tech TETRA radios, we have been able to coordinate and link with our staff easily, any time. Since it's a very fast, efficient and easy to operate advance communication system, TETRA radios have proved to be of big support for us, especially to communicate quickly during emergency operations at the project sites. They have definitely facilitated and made convenient for us to improve, enhance and increase further our service level. Sepura TETRA communication system is certainly an essential communication tool for the construction industry", he added.
Sky Oryx JV, which is involved in the construction of the Passenger Terminal Complex, one of the biggest projects in NDIA, is finding TERTA radios very handy to coordinate among engineers and operators. Masahiro Matsushita, Construction Manager, said, "These radios are safe, even if you operate near various sensitive equipments being used in the construction. As our project site is vast, we are using Sepura TETRA radios to remain connected. CGC's highly-skilled personnel are fully taking care of our after-sales requirements as well".
TETRA radios are also helping the runways' builders in quick coordination within the sites which are spread over a long area, said NG Yoon Peng, Pavement Manager of Syno-Hydro Gamoda JV, a Malaysian company involved in the construct of world-class runways for NDIA.
A.P. Malik, General Manager, Procurement, Punz Lyod, was happy to use TETRA radios, as they are helping them in NDIA fuel tanks' constructions.
Anil Mahajan, Head - Business Development, CGC, expressed satisfaction over contributing to the construction of a major project which symbolizes the fast development of Qatar. "CGC is determined and committed to offer total technology solutions to vital sectors of Qatari economy. We have been providing Sepura Tetra radios to the construction, transport management, oil and gas, security services, hospitals and other emergency services as well as to the shopping malls offering safe, secure and faster group connectivity so as to contribute further to the over all growth of Qatar. We offer the latest and very handy IT and Telecom technologies and services to different industries as per their local requirements. Our association with the companies involved in the construction of the prestigious NDIA project has strengthened our resolve to bring more and more user-friendly and cost-effective technologies and services to serve the Qatari industries better. As the construction industry in entire Gulf region is flourishing and rushing in to meet increasing demands, TETRA radio sets are certainly a great help for better coordination and connectivity at no hidden costs."
Mahajan thanked Qtel for giving them opportunity to offer TETRA technology. "It's CGC who first implemented in Qatar way back in 2003 a TETRA-based Remote Shut-down System using hand-held Terminals. Taking initiative, we supplied the infrastructure, in association with Rohde & Schwarz, to Qtel to launch a nationwide TETRA services in the year 2005. We also organised the first ever TETRA seminar in the country in 2006. Since then, the demand for TETRA services has grown many-fold. While Qtel handles all the service related issues, CGC takes care of infrastructures like HW supplies, including base stations, hand-held mobile terminals, intrinsically safe devices and specialized solutions. We have a full-fledged TETRA Unit to look after the industries' needs. With the help of a fully trained and well equipped TETRA team, we today serve over 100 companies taking full care of their requirements and after-sales support. As demand grows, we are in the process of launching new technologies like AVLS, Telemetry over TETRA, Video over TETRA to name a few", he stated.
