Multi-Site VHF Repeater Network

Design, supply, and commissioning of a multi-site repeater network spanning tens of thousands of acres of conservancy land.

Challenge

Conservancies required seamless radio coverage across rugged terrain including hills, valleys, and dense bush. Existing analog coverage was patchy and unreliable, leaving rangers unable to coordinate effectively.

Solution

Konsüt conducted a full RF site survey, identified hilltop repeater locations, and installed Motorola SLR5500 repeaters at each site. Sites were powered by solar with lithium battery backup. Antenna spacing and duplexer tuning ensured clean simultaneous operation.

Outcomes
  • 99%+ coverage across the conservancy area
  • Solar-powered sites with zero reliance on grid power
  • Remote web-based repeater management
  • Annual PPM maintenance contract in place

Radio Infrastructure & Maintenance

Full radio system installation for a lodge property, including tower/antenna rigging and ongoing maintenance contracts.

Challenge

Lodges require a reliable communications system for staff, guides, and security — robust enough for daily operational use and simple enough for non-technical staff to operate.

Solution

Konsüt supplied and programmed Motorola handheld radios for all departments and installed a local repeater tower to extend coverage across the property, ensuring seamless communication from reception to the most remote guest areas.

Outcomes
  • Property-wide radio coverage including remote guest areas
  • Staff trained and confident on day one
  • Ongoing maintenance contract ensuring system reliability

Remote Communications Site — Kenya

Off-Grid Solar Power System

Design and installation of a hybrid solar power system for a remote radio repeater site with no grid connection.

Challenge

A repeater site had no grid power access. The existing generator solution was expensive to run, prone to failure, and required regular fuel logistics.

Solution

Konsüt designed and installed a complete off-grid solar system with monocrystalline panels, a hybrid inverter, and LiFePO4 lithium batteries providing extended autonomy. The system was sized to power the repeater, management systems, and site lighting.

Outcomes
  • 100% solar-powered — zero fuel costs
  • Extended battery autonomy for cloudy periods
  • Remote monitoring via cloud-based app

FLIR Thermal Perimeter Surveillance

Wildlife Conservancy — Kenya

FLIR Thermal Perimeter Surveillance

Deployment of FLIR FH-Series fixed thermal cameras for 24/7 perimeter surveillance at a conservancy.

Challenge

Poaching attempts were occurring at night, with existing CCTV cameras unable to detect threats in darkness. Rangers needed early warning before threats reached sensitive areas.

Solution

Konsüt deployed FLIR FH-Series fixed thermal cameras at key perimeter points, integrated with a central monitoring station. Long-range thermal detection gives rangers early warning of movement — day or night.

Outcomes
  • 24/7 perimeter detection regardless of lighting
  • Long-range detection per camera
  • Integrated alarm relay to ranger operations room
