Radio System Consultancy, Fault Diagnosis and Design.

If you are in the mining industry, petrochemical, offshore operations, hydrological survey, Department of Defence or just require remote area voice or data communications, GFS Electronics may be able to help you. Our consultancy service is backed by over 25 24 Mhz yagi installation

years of experience in specifying, designing, manufacturing, sourcing and supplying a wide range of users with short and long haul voice and data communication systems. Whether your requirement is for a closed circuit television link across 45 kilometres of desert, a data or differential GPS system over 400 kilometres of water (without the high ongoing cost of satellite circuit rental) or a satellite delivered TV/Radio system, GFS will specify, design, and if required, supply and install a system to meet your needs at a cost which will also meet your budget.

One of the first in Australia to do so, GFS Electronics started manufacture of HF radio data modems in 1982. Since that time our modems as well as other GFS products have seen service in places as remote as the Antarctic Continent to the jungles of Africa, Indonesia and South America. They have also served in hot, dry dusty Australian and Middle Eastern deserts, as well as in the high humidity offshore maritime environments of a number of the world's oceans. Long range HF ground wave data comms

Reliability has always been number one on GFS' design criteria list, whether that be for a new product design or a radio communication system. Ranking a close second is 'cost effectiveness', a term very adequately met by our preferred use of 'low ongoing cost' long haul goundwave HF radio systems for many applications.

GFS Electronics' experience in Defence is also quite extensive, having, amongst other achievements, designed and manufactured a military environment tactical HF/VHF radio modem, th GFS Electronics and Defence

e model CPU-100/F2 shown at left. GFS Electronics designed and supplied to the Australian Department of Defence - Army, a Theatre Grid Survey Differential GPS radio system based on HF ground wave signal propagation. This system consistently achieves more than its design objectives, by providing DGPS data communications reliably over long distances across varying terrain. We also have behind us a number of years experience working in the defence area of Electronic Warfare.

In addition to work performed/products supplied to Australia's Department of Defence, GFS Electronics have consulted or supplied systems/products to large mining companies such as BHP Petroleum, BHP Iron Ore, BHP Billiton, Hamersley Iron, NRG Flinders Leigh Creek Coal Field and Olympic Dam Project.

If you find yourself having trouble sourcing components for your radio system, contact GFS Electronics, as our many years of experience have provided us with a very large number of contacts in the industry.
