Connecting Communities, Infrastructure and Services.
Why is the radio industry important?
Without reliable communication technologies, our communities can’t connect, industry can’t flow and economies can’t grow. Communications technology surrounds us – in our smart devices, navigation systems, TVs, personal media devices, emails, data centres, home appliances and vehicles.
Most people don’t realise that radio communications are responsible for the efficient operation of major infrastructure and many public services. Worth more than $4billion to the Australian economy each year, the radio communications industry forms an important part of the ICT sector and includes two way radio, as well as other wireless communication technologies.
