A complete repeater site, delivered
Alongside the DMR network MarchNet delivered for the project, the client required a UHF CB repeater to support communications for vehicles and contractors using the access roads into the project area, at a remote location without mains power.
MarchNet supplied, installed and commissioned the complete site as a standalone local radio service. Because it needs no cellular, satellite or microwave backhaul, it operates independently of any external network.

One partner, end to end
Radio, mast, power and licensing from a single partner means one point of accountability, and a site that can be deployed where mains power and network connectivity aren’t available. The site was commissioned and ready for service in September 2025.
