Preface; Why we design the G series Voice Pager
Utilizing voice pagers to alert volunteer firefighters of emergency incidents has been a fire
department tradition for decades, and from generation to generation, the unnamed heroes of
volunteer fire departments have given a huge contribution to our society.
Thanks to technological trends, fire department communication systems are moving toward digital
and trunked radio systems, and away from the analog radio system. Firefighter’ s current analog
voice pagers are not capable of use with these new digital communication systems, and radio
manufacturers have made it clear there are no plans to develop a suitable product. The reason,
from a business point of view, is that the number of users and market size, when compared to
other public safety industries, are quite small. This has unfortunately caused a frightening trend
with some volunteer firefighters moving away from emergency paging systems to use substitute
solutions such as alpha pagers, cell phone text messages or smart-phone APPs.
These substitute solutions sacrifice the safety of volunteer firefighters due to the fact that
firefighters receive a paging and go to the incident, put on fire rescue gear and join the fire rescue
mission, and they don’ t know the critical information about the circumstance of the fire venue (e.g.
the usage of the building, the material of the building, whether explosive chemical inside the
building or not. etc.) which easily puts these volunteer fighters into dangerous situation. The critical
information is communicated by rescuers who arrived at the incident prior, and they use the radio
system to communicate with each other. The ability for fire fighters to use their voice pagers to
listen to the on-site radio communications while en route to an incident allows them to understand
critical information about the incident location and on scene information being transmitted. This is
the reason volunteer firefighters have used voice paging, rather than other paging systems, for
decades.
Unication has been dedicated to developing radio systems for 25 years. In the past, we designed
and made M3, M4, and M5 voice pager. We have over 20 years of experience designing voice
pager’ s and have worked hard to implement the features that customers demand. Unication deeply
considered the technology gap of current voice pagers in the market, and we spent three years
developing Unication’ s G-Series Voice Pager, designing it to meet all environments of different
radio communication systems, both now and in the future.
