Everything we deliver is built around one promise: when the event runs, the radio works and everything is logged.

About

Quiet, calm, very prepared.

ERCS Ltd is an information-technology and radio-communications company based at Strathleven House, Dumbarton. We work alongside event organisers, volunteer networks such as RAYNET, and multi-agency command structures to provide the kind of communications layer that makes an event feel smaller than it is.

Recent work includes multi-agency support for the Glasgow Mela in Kelvingrove Park, with a full JACC set up across Airwave, UHF and LTE, plus live BroadNet testing. The goal is the same every time: every position hears what it needs to hear, every incident is logged, and the organiser can get on with the event.
