2. Need for Radio Trunking for cross country
pipelines
Secured & independent means of communication
dedicated for operational use.
A system which can be used in Hazardous area.
Non-availability of cellular services in some
remote cross country locations.
Dependency on other cellular service providers.
Instant connectivity with the concerned location
and faster emergency response.

11. Features of Radio trunking implemented for
Mundra Delhi Pipeline of HPCL
A private call can be made i.e. one to one communication.
Possible to make group call i.e. communication among a group.
Telephone interconnect is available i.e. call between landline &
Radio.
Emergency call i.e. override of any call in network for handling
operational emergency.
Multigroup calling can be made i.e. addressing to many group at
any given point of time.
Dynamic site assignment i.e. optimum resource allocation of
network for communication of Radio.
Can be used while roaming anywhere in pipeline route i.e. any
radio can be used along the pipeline network.
Ensure call continuity i.e. call doesn’t drop when moving from one
tower to another tower.
12. Benefits of Radio Trunking system for
pipelines
It is a wireless dedicated private network
throughout the length of the pipeline.
It provides round the clock seamless
communication between security personnel at
remote location along the entire route of pipeline
to control room for enhanced pipeline security.
We can have customized wireless private network
among security personnel & control room along
the route as per operational requirement.
Being a dedicated private network, Hence no
dependency on service providers.
13. Advantages of Radio Trunking over
conventional VHF communication
• It is semi-duplex communication.
• It provide encrypted communication i.e. highly
secured mean of communication.
• Longer range of communication.
• One to one call between Radio can be done.
• Online monitoring / control on use of Radio. It
can be made defunct incase of theft / lost to
avoid any unintended / malafide use.
• Call among group can be done.
• Roaming network for uninterrupted
communication.
14. Steps for implementation of Radio trunking
To obtain pairs of frequencies from WPC as per
site requirements.
To obtain SACFA clearance for towers height.
Interfacing of OFC with VHF Radio’s.
Construction of towers for installing the
antenna.
Installation of base station / repeaters.
Battery banks & chargers for back up.
15. Scope for Future integration
Migration to digital radio Trunking system.
Wireless data communication through
VHF.
GPS enabled hand held radios for use in
security position tracking system.
Wireless communication of PSP values
from field.
