FIELD — FORESTRY & DISASTER

Where there is no mobile signal,
check that everyone is safe.

Not an intercom, but equipment that supports safety checks and emergency calls — for forestry, disaster response and local government.

01 — ISSUE

What happens on site

You are out of mobile coverage

Mobile phones do not work in mountains or underground. People end up working with no way to call.

Felling signals do not get through

Over a chainsaw, even the signal to clear the area goes unheard. A voice that does not carry leads straight to an accident.

You cannot tell if a lone worker is safe

There is no way to keep track of someone working far away.

In a disaster there are few lines

With a single satellite phone line, headquarters still has to reach several sites.

02 — ANSWER

B-EAR's answer

On some sites, everything rests on the message getting through.

B-EAR products depend on no base station and no mobile network. The units connect directly, so they work in mountains and underground where phones have no signal.

Everyone talks and listens at once, so whoever spots a danger speaks up without waiting. Noise cancelling carries the voice over chainsaws and heavy machinery.

With relay bases the ALVO 1.9 extends to 3 groups, 26 units and about 2.4 km. A single satellite phone line can also be shared between headquarters and the field teams.

04 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do they work where there is no mobile signal?
Yes. B-EAR products connect unit to unit without going through a base station.
Do I need a licence or a qualification?
No. They hold Japanese construction design certification and there is no usage registration to file, so they can be handed out immediately in an emergency.
Are subsidies available?
The products are not subsidised on their own; they are introduced as part of occupational safety programmes run by forestry operators, forest cooperatives and municipalities. Ask us and we will look into which schemes may apply.
How much ground can it cover?
The BRIDGECOM X10 reaches up to 1,500 m with the relay function. With relay bases the ALVO 1.9 extends to 3 groups, 26 units and about 2.4 km (simultaneous talk is guaranteed up to 25 units and about 1.6 km). Terrain changes these figures, so tell us about your site.
Do they stand up to rain and dust?
The X10 is fully waterproof to IPX7. The ALVO 1.9 is IPX4 on its own and IPX7 with the waterproof case.

Decide after trying it on your own site.

How many units, which earphone microphones, how large the area. It is fine if none of it is settled yet.
