We look forward to showing you the latest technology as it becomes available and assisting you with your wireless communication needs in 2010.

Service Bulletin National Wireless have recently invested over $100,000 in the latest high tech service equipment for our workshops nationally. We are now better positioned than ever to offer the highest levels of service expertise to our customers. As the year draws to a close, many industries enter a period of peak demand and it is vital that your communications equipment is working to its full capacity. Whether your business is retail, hospitality, manufacturing, mining or wine making, Christmas and January will be busy and production down time due to communication failure is NOT an option!! Many companies have regular maintenance programs for mechanical equipment and are not aware this approach should also be adopted for two way radios and repeater infrastructure. There are many components in radio systems which have to be tuned to work together. Over time subtle variances can occur which may result in reduced performance. Performing regular preventative maintenance at least annually can ensure equipment is working to it’s optimum, and reduce the probability of a complete communications failure. Companies make significant investments in communications infrastructure and all too often we are called in to fix equipment that has failed due to lack of maintenance. It costs the customer in lost productivity, frustrated staff and the costs of call outs. By far our most common fault is simply battery backup failure when the customer most needs it – In the middle of Australia’s inevitable power blackouts each summer. NOW is the best time to get your two way radios and repeaters serviced in time to ensure a safe and profitable Christmas and New Year for your business. For a strictly limited time, mention this article when you call National Wireless on 1300 852 929 to book your radios and repeaters in for a service, and get a genuinely discounted rate. Disclaimer: Preventative Maintenance includes tuning RF equipment to manufacturers specification, cleaning and testing of batteries/ power connection and testing of antenna. A maintenance report is provided for each radio/repeater. Terms & Conditions: Offer valid for service bookings made between 1st December 2009 and 29th January 2010. Offer only valid for standard service, any additional work and spare parts will be quoted and charged accordingly.
