Repair and maintenance services of radio transmitters

Description

For efficient radio communication mobile radios must be able to receive a signal from fixed transmitters and receivers and these need to be situated at height to avoid buildings, trees etc. from blocking the signal. This height element is also applicable to the siting of key ICS CCTV cameras. To satisfy these requirements the PSNI estate has, from 1950 onwards, installed 129 radio towers and currently utilises a further 47 similar structures belonging to other government agencies and private concerns. ICS require the appointed contractor to undertake maintenance, installation and decommissioning of structures to ensure the continued effective operation of these systems.
