Festival One
The Client
Festival One is multi-day, Christian Festival on Auckland & Waikato Anniversary Weekend, located near Karapiro, 30 minutes south of Hamilton.
Festival One is in its eleventh year and has a broad range of fantastic artists, lots of opportunities for the creative arts and a few other surprises.
The Project
Dove Communications has been Festical One’s preferred supplier of two-way radio communications for over 10 years.
Utilising nearly 200 radios across multiple talk groups over a very wide, hilly area, with mostly volunteer radio users, presented an interesting project for the Dove Communications Rental team.
The Solution
The solution was to deploy our Event Trailer repeater system running a Hytera trunked networking solution to cater for up to eight simultaneous conversations across a number of event teams.
In this instance mains power was available at the Antenna site, however the trailer supports Solar, battery, and Generator alternatives.

Other Case Studies
Mangatangi Farm
Lying pinned under a quad bike rolled is no fun. For Dave it was an excruciating 45 minute wait until help came. While he had a CB radio to talk to other farm staff, no one was listening at the time his quad rolled. Fortunately, his injuries weren’t too serious.
Fonterra Tanker Fleet
Fonterra recently returned to Digital Mobile Radio for their in-Tanker voice communications. Experience had taught them that cellular coverage was not always available where they needed.
Waikato Hospital
Security is crucial for the Waikato Hospital, due to the size and spread of its 5 hospitals, requiring a reliable and cost-effective solution to ensure staff and patient safety.
