©ARL COMMS LIMITED 2012
is a UK based company established in 2010 by a team that have been involved in
telecommunications, security and business across the globe for nearly 30 years. Our objective was to take the
best of the old with the best of the new to create something special that was founded upon our knowledge and
experience and the needs of users in the emergency service arena.
In conjunction with industry partners and potential users - emergency responders, government, military,
academia - EARL (Emergency Area Radio Link) was launched.
EARL allows true communications interoperability between organisations and specifically allows interoperability
between emergency services at an incident wherever assets may be globally - surprisingly something that did
not already exist.
Organisations now have the ability to communicate securely using their existing equipment for voice, video,
instant messaging and data exchange from PC-PC; 2way radio-PC and 2way radio-2way radio across multiple
organisations or departments anywhere in the world irrelevant of the software, hardware or frequencies in
operation. The system also allows machine to machine (M2M) and machine to human (M2H) interaction.
Following a successful company debut at HOSDB at Farnborough 2011 as part of the DSTL/Cabinet Office
Project RADIANCE team the EARL communications system was launched to the defence market. This project
was also the basis for the development of EARL Commander, a Command and Control facility and a decision
making aid for Operation and Incident Commanders. Its flexibility allows decision makers to organise what
information they want provided - human or machine based - and EARL provides the technology link to allow
that to happen. Coupled with the ability to share this data , as required, through the organisation or incident
control structure assists in faster, more informed and better decision making.
We are currently working with the corporate and education sectors to adapt to their needs, dealing with
increased international demand, strengthening our global partnerships and installing bespoke communications
networks.
While we accept that there are continuing severe economic constraints for many organisations the evidence
indicates that the economics of the EARL system are increasingly attractive against traditional proprietary
systems. To users who understand the importance of good communications in dealing with incidents large and
small which may involve many departments and organisations over local, national and international boundaries
EARL provides a radical new and economic solution.
But it is you, the user, who will decide how best to use the flexibility of ARL’s technology. So contact us now for
a discussion and a demonstration to understand how we can help you in operational improvements.
