Tacticom & JPS Delivering Cost-Effective, Reliable Communications Solutions
JPS invented the RoIP standard that we have all come to rely on and at TACTICOM we are very pleased to accept the opportunity and challenge of developing JPS gateways and other JPS associated equipment and technologies throughout the UK & Northern Ireland. We're also helping to develop and support JPS sales in Southern Ireland among other regions and countries including countries as far afield as New Zealand.
We are developing close relations with professional distributors, dealers and systems companies to bring the JPS "gold standard" of interoperability gateways to organisations throughout the UK who need to reliably combine and expand their communication technologies.
From a more localised single channel gateway allowing POC and DMR to work seamlessly together with full audio to large scale multi technology system JPS has the solution. All brands, All types, All the time...
For sixty two years TACTICOM has focussed and worked on improving the independence and choice availability to buyers of two way radio systems, in 2003 we were the first company in the UK to adopt and distribute HYT (now HYTERA) products. We have worked with dozens of two way radio manufacturers and are very experienced and specialised in testing and further developing these products.
With 62 years of two way radio experience, we know our way around, so it is no surprise to us when we are asked by major e-commerce site operators to support, service and install radio equipment and systems of all makes and models in the UK.

TESTING TO DESTRUCTION AND BACK
The radio on the left was a well known Chinese make and model, sold for many years in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. The aerial socket broke and the channel selector bent after just 4 drops and stopped working after 12 drops in our hands at our proving ground. Yet the South Korean model to the right took 104 drops to stop working. Both cost about the same, but one was clearly superior to the other yet only Tacticom uncovered this information and promoted the Korean radio.
We test radios in the harshest of environments with a part randomised process (but within known areas of operation) which more closely emulates extreme usage. We drop them hundreds of times, over heat them, freeze them (for days), leave them out in the rain (for weeks), we even have various extreme distance drop tests as well as a extreme height drop test (see the GRIZZLY video). All testing is carried out at our proving grounds and is repeatable, every radio gets tested the same way - only 5% pass the tests!
At Tacticom we enjoy the outdoor life and we take our preferred radios with us at all times. The picture below is a mountain on the Ilse of Harris, the tunnels on the left & centre of the picture are 200 plus feet and give drops of between 8 and 20 feet onto multiple granite ledges/outcrops, the oldest hardest granite in the country. We climb to the top and throw the hand portable two way radios off, we watch them (sometimes cringing) merrily bouncing down a 200+ foot tunnel with multiple granite ledges until it stops! This makes up part of our extreme tests.
Finally and possibly of more importance, after we have tested a hand portable radio to destruction we then set about putting it back together, repairing it and servicing it, if we can't then we don't adopt it for sale.
SERVICE, REPAIR & MORE
We only sell hand portable radios which have passed our RUK Extreme tests. We have a full range of PMR & DMR hand portables ranging from IP54 to IP67+ and our own Mobile/Desk top DMR radio and DMR talk through repeater.
No one tests two way radio as we do.
Finally every radio we test to destruction we repair therefor we have a complete and profound knowledge of exactly how to repair and service every radio we sell.
We've been servicing two way radios for almost 60 years and we can repair and service every make and model of radio on the market. We might not sell them if they have not passed our tests - but we can repair them.
PAST MASTER RADIOS
Tacticom Have worked with two way radio manufacturers from Taiwan, China and South Korea.
We know that making a good two way radio great is not easy, it takes hundreds of hours of testing, improving and retesting then improving again, then the same process is repeated again and again and again and again to get it right.
By the end of all this testing and improving we often know the radio better than the original manufacturer.
However even the best hand portable radios fall out of production or are replaced, please click on the link below for more information on radios that are no longer in production.
