As well as system design, implementation, training and commissioning, it is also important to consider the ongoing health and maintenance of the communications system. Although the general philosophy is that the supplier organisation will continue to maintain the system into the future, this may not always be the case. With changes in the technology and formats within the radio communications industry, many small businesses are under pressure and as a result some change hands or management, others may unfortunately cease to trade. With this in mind a proper documentation format should be kept to enable any radio communications supplier to be able to quickly identify the operating system and know how to maintain it. Time lost while a new organisation familiarises themselves with your system could mean extended periods of failure of your vital communications network. This is where the services of Orange Horizons can be of assistance in ensuring the underlying efficiency premise of your communications network is maintained into the future.
