WHO NEEDS HF RADIO
Any traveller in Australia who visits areas outside mobile-phone coverage, should consider High Frequency radio (HF) as a viable method of making a call for assistance or emergency contact for help in the instant required, which could be life saving.
A HF radio connected to the Austravel Saftey Network provides more than just wide area communications. For example piece of mind for your family safety and a sense of community by being able to chat to others while travelling are just a few of the benifits. Austravel covers distances Australia wide way beyond the limits of the telcos. We have modern connective services to friends and family mobile phones for newer HF radios. See Out-n-About TM for more information.
WHAT IS HF RADIO
Un-like a UHF CB radio, High Frequency radio (HF) travels long distances ranging up to 2000Km direct point to point if required. Austravel SafetyNet with its suitably located radio base stations around Australia, provides connection to the telephone system for your calls and Internet for smart features. While travelling, communication and emergency calls are possible from everywhere in Australia .
