Great Northern Leisure Complex Goes Digital with SFL

October 2010

The Great Northern Leisure Complex in Manchester City Centre have recently upgraded their dated analogue radio system to a brand new digital radio system with SFL Mobile Radio.

The Great Northern is a 10-acre complex right in the heart of the city centre and consists of bars like Bar 38 and cafes such as Café History, as well as many restaurants and shops. It also boasts a 16 screen AMC Megaplex Cinema, a Casino and Virgin Active Gym.

Over 40+ shops, bars and restaurants will now benefit from this new digital two way radio technology which boasts:

• Clearer audio via digital radio to help assure messages are understood without background noise and static.
• 40% longer battery life and 32 channels.
• Increased capacity - 2x the number of users for the price of one OFCOM channel, crucial in a congested area such as Manchester.
• Improves Health & Safety performance, with a panic button feature in case of an emergency or critical incident. Everyone is notified immediately for a rapid response.
• Elegant channel scanning schemes help ensure calls are received first time every time.
• Global Positioning System (GPS) module built in (Motorola DP3401 only)

SFL Mobile Radio’s reputation is increasing month on month as a huge supplier to the construction industry. Also, since the success of the upgrade at Greater Manchester Leisure Complex, many other industries such as schools, security, leisure and local government are now wishing to proceed with analogue to digital transition.
