GPS Repeaters For Police Stations

When officers are inside a building, their hand-portable radio (Sepura, Motorola, etc) will not be able to receive a GPS signal due to the blocking effect of the building structure.

GPS repeater in a police station ensures communications devices are always visible at the control centre

The effect of this is that the officer’s location will continually be reported to the command centre as the last time the radio device was receiving a live signal from the satellites, i.e. just before entering the building.

When the officer leaves the station it can often take several minutes to re-acquire a GPS fix.

During the period of time between leaving the building and re-acquiring a satellite fix the officer’s radio would be still be transmitting incorrect location data to the command and control centre.

Installed in a police station, GPS repeaters ensure that:

  • All hand-portable radios receive a live GPS satellite signal while indoors.
  • Each officer’s radio is “locked on” to the GPS satellites at all times.
  • When officers leave the station their personal radio device will immediately start transmitting accurate, up-to-date location data to the command and control centre.
  • There is zero satellite acquisition delay when leaving the building.
  • Response times not missed due to lack of navigation information.

FalTech Ltd has supplied GPS repeaters for use in police stations since starting out in 2012.

In most cases a free survey and test/demo installation is available on request.
