CASE STUDY: LATIN AMERICAN ENERGY COMPANY RELIES ON SINCLAIR TO SOLVE CRITICAL COVERAGE ISSUES IN THE ANDEAN REGION
When an integrator approached Sinclair seeking a solution to improve coverage in this part of the world, Sinclair’s experienced engineering team was on familiar grounds, having solved similar problems in the past in both urban and remote settings. As such, Sinclair was able to help the energy company overcome [...]
CASE STUDY: SINCLAIR CONTRIBUTES TO TIMELY COMPLETION OF ASIA METRO RAIL PROJECT THROUGH QUICK CUSTOMIZATION CAPABILITY
One of Asia’s largest provider of rail transportation control systems had placed an order of ST221 series VHF transportation antennas from Sinclair at the end of 2018 for an overseas project. When Sinclair received the frequencies from the customer, it was quickly realized that something didn’t seem right. Based [...]
CASE STUDY: CANADA’S LEADING PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCY SELECTS SINCLAIR RECEIVER MULTICOUPLERS FOR THEIR TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
A leading Canadian public safety agency deployed a new radio communications network, to be used by first responders and public safety personnel to communicate with each other in emergency situations and daily operations. During the staging process, the customer realized that they were unable to receive reliable coverage [...]
CASE STUDY: SINCLAIR ENSURES THE NORTH AMERICAN RAILWAYS STAY ‘ON THE RIGHT TRACK’ THROUGH POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL
PTC (Positive Train Control) is a railway protection system that requires integration of thousands of components across the telecommunications spectrum, such as GPS, Wi-Fi, radios, cellular technology, antennas, base stations and first-of-its-kind software that decides when to slow or stop a train. Sinclair has become the North American standard [...]

CASE STUDY: CUSTOM DUPLEXER DESIGNED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLE FLEET APPLICATION
Access to reliable communication equipment is essential for law enforcement agencies where a short response time is critical in what could be a life or death scenario. Sinclair Technologies understands that reliability is always a major consideration in the design process for public safety products. A key law enforcement [...]
CASE STUDY: RADIOMETRICS PARTNERS WITH SINCLAIR TECHNOLOGIES TO DESIGN CUSTOM ANTENNA
NASA had an aging radar infrastructure that needed to be replaced and upgraded. Radiometrics took on this project, but soon realized that they needed to partner with an antenna manufacturer who could meet the specifications of their custom engineered design. Radiometrics contacted several suppliers but only a few could meet [...]
CASE STUDY: SINCLAIR HELPS NAV CANADA SAFELY MOVE MILLIONS OF AIRCRAFT
Updated: 04/28/2017 In 2005, NAV CANADA’s radar coverage of Hudson Bay was limited to line-of-sight (LOS) and did not cover the entire Hudson Bay area. The Company used VHF communication sites around Hudson Bay and HF communications for areas that were not covered by VHF. During a testing phase, [...]
