A Word from the CEO
What keeps me excited about this business is that what we do can really have a big impact on people’s lives. We provide radio systems and equipment for all kinds of purposes around the globe. Many emergency services choose to use our products because they can rely on every part of our systems to perform. ComGroup not only provides the equipment, but we actively support our users in the field. I guess that in a sense, we aren’t just supplying radios, we are saving lives.

Being Australia’s leading radio communications company is easy. Staying the leader is more involved. Fortunately, we have a great team and enjoy levels of staff retention and loyalty that most companies would truly envy. Developing and delivering cutting edge two-way radio technology to the precise requirements of clients is what keeps us in front. And it’s our old-fashioned values coupled with our dedication to technological advancement that set us apart. Our latest P25 development is the shining proof of this.

Our customers are always the number 1 focus in every area of ComGroup: Research and Development, Service, Networks and our System Engineering Services. We bring together all our skills, experience and technology and translate it into customer satisfaction. In the end, when people are able to communicate with each other in difficult or even disaster situations, then we know we’ve been doing our job.
