The ability to integrate the video solutions analytics across technologies and devices enables detection to initiate actionable results. For example, when video surveillance system detects unusual activity, or if restricted boundaries are breached the systems analytics can seamlessly trigger alerts to allow personnel or adjacent technologies into action.

Radio Alerts

These same pre-programmed video surveillance triggers can activate Radio Alerts in either voice or text messages to your MOTOTRBO two-way radios, mobile devices or computers. Radio Alerts allows security or operational personnel to respond real-time to either voice or text prompts to situations and hopefully mitigate problems before the escalate.

Wireless Network Solutions

Communications Electronics has a long history in designing, deploying and maintaining private network solutions. Whether our wireless networks are installed for in-building or across a wide-area, our networks routinely support a variety of vertical markets and technologies. Our wireless network solutions are designed to meet our customers high bandwidth requirements for all their voice, video and data requirements through the latest technologies including Wi-Fi, PTP / PTMP and private LTE solutions including CBRS.
With deep experience working for public and private enterprises across the Mid-Atlantic to provide interoperable communications and surveillance solutions, we are uniquely positioned to be your private network Safety Reimagined solution provider.

New CBRS Spectrum Provides Better Speeds and Capacity

Although Wi-Fi has become an increasingly valuable tool for commercial organizations to provide connectivity for a variety of devices and interoperability solutions, it was not engineered to support these business-critical communications. The inefficiencies and inadequate performance of traditional Wi-Fi is why organizations turn to private LTE networks to meet their growing bandwidth, communications, video surveillance and interoperability requirements.

Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)

The latest FCC regulations have released new high-speed broadband spectrum for commercial applications. Band 48 or Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), is now available for Communications Electronics to design and deploy secure, encrypted private LTE broadband networks for enterprise applications. A CBRS private LTE network provides greater speed, connectivity, range and capacity than ever before.

MOTOTRBO® Nitro

As a Platinum Motorola Solutions Partner, Communications Electronics is proud to offer Motorola Solutions’ range of CBRS solutions that integrate with enterprise technologies to deliver a completely unified data, video and voice platform called MOTOTRBO Nitro. The Nitro private LTE solution delivers commercial-grade private LTE that outperforms traditional Wi-Fi while providing unmatched simplicity and control.

CBRS Delivers On Business-Critical Communications

No matter the size of your business or the type of environment you work in, chances are Wi-Fi has become an invaluable tool for your business-critical operations. But as the number of devices, applications, and users continues to grow with your business, the weakness and limitations of your Wi-Fi network are becoming more exposed.
Let’s face it, Wi-Fi was not designed to support your business-critical workplace. Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) was. Now you can integrate CBRS with your single end-to-end Team Communications ecosystem.

Reach Everyone, Anywhere

Deploying and maintaining private LTE can be challenging, but with Nitro, Motorola has taken steps to make the process easier. Nitro combines lightning-fast private broadband, operation-critical data and premium voice push-to-talk communication. This solution allows data to stream securely, quickly, and reliably through networks. With twice the capacity and up to four times the range of Wi-Fi, Nitro gives your Unified Team Communications ecosystem a mighty boost and lets you do more with less.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in the United States and across the globe, we want to let everyone know that Communications Electronics’number one priority is to keep our employees, partners, and customers safe. Here is an update on preparations and steps we have taken to date. Two weeks ago, CE assembled a cross-disciplinary COVID-19 Management Team to actively monitor the situation and make recommendations to leadership. We have been assessing the situation daily, remaining vigilant, and following recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and local authorities. We’ve assembled guidance for our employee teams, pursuant to these recommendations.

As you know, the situation is evolving rapidly, and COVID-19 is affecting people differently, depending on their location and situation. As a result, flexible solutions are needed. CE Senior Management is considering all options, including the possibility of asking staff to work remotely.

While we remain focused on the health and safety of our staff and those around us, we also remain committed to serving our customers. Fortunately, we have technology in place and significant experience with working remotely. We have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure we can continue to deliver uninterrupted, high quality service. Operational teams have been working to identify potential needs and strategies associated with full-virtual delivery of services. Project managers and supervisors are actively having preparedness discussions with our teams. Our IT team has been reviewing and testing systems and protocols, to ensure necessary tools and support for staff to operate virtually. Everyone has a role to play.

If you have questions or feedback, you can reach the COVID-19 Management Team at Safety@Talkcei.com.

Being flexible and able to overcome big challenges is part of what makes us who we are. We have the infrastructure, skills, and desire to support each other, while providing the highest level of service to our customers. Obviously, this is a fast moving, fluid situation affecting our country and the world. We will update our guidance and decisions as the situation changes. Please continue to monitor the CDC Website for updates.

We hope that you and your family are well,
