The Kairos repeater fromRadio Activityis an exceptionally innovative, compact and fully featured professional radio solution. Discover 8 key advantages of the Kairos, typical configurations and fantastic use cases.
8 reasons to choose the Kairos repeater
Superior coverage and reception: With software receiver diversity, Kairos automatically performs complex signal processing to select the best possible received signal, even reflected signals. Using this in-built process, received signals are significantly improved, resulting in superior portable radio coverage.
Simulcast and roaming capabilities: Running simulcast, Kairos provides a great solution for areas where licences are difficult to come by. Covering a wide area with a single-channel licence not only saves money but also provides the end user with an improved and simplified operation with automated roaming between repeater sites.
IP and RF Linking: Connecting Kairos repeaters in a multi-site system couldn’t be simpler because Kairos repeaters include IP linking as standard. Where an IP network isn’t available, Kairos can also be RF-linked making this product ideal for long or challenging link paths.
It’s compact and tough: Kairos is incredibly compact (roughly the size of a small tablet), lightweight and rugged. It has been used in many transportable applications including outside broadcast where small size and low weight are critical.
True multi-mode operation (analogue and digital): The Kairos repeater is a versatile multi-mode device that can operate in analogue, DMR Tier 2, Tier 3 and paging, switching between modes based on the incoming signal. This makes it a cost-effective solution for customers looking to gradually migrate their existing communication network from analogue to digital.
Very low power: Kairos has the added benefit of very low power consumption making it particularly useful in remote sites relying on battery or a solar power source.
Powerful remote control and monitoring: Kairos’ remote monitoring and configuration tool speeds up setup and maintenance operations and enables secure software upgrades to be performed without the need for a site visit.
Open standards-based: Kairos supports open standards and is compatible with radios from most major manufacturers including Tait and Hytera.
Typical configurations
Analogue/ DMR dual timeslot fixed base station
Redundant 1+1 Hot Standby base stations
Multisite IP-linked network
RF-linked base station
Example Kairos repeater use cases
Applications where channel licensing is problematic
Large scale, short-term events where portability, flexibility and reliability are key
Remote and off-grid sites
Linking sites with long and challenging link paths
Other mobile applications e.g. broadcasting
Tunnel projects where simulcasting allows for continuous roaming without any channel changes

The implementation of BWV technology is becoming increasingly vital across diverse industries in the region. In New Zealand, the retail industry has witnessed a staggering 115% increase in retail crime between 2018 and 2023, with nearly 150,000 incidents reported annually. Similarly, Australia faces a significant challenge, with nearly half (49%) of its workforce reporting experiences of workplace violence and harassment—more than double the global average. This alarming trend spans various sectors, including healthcare, education, and public services. For instance, Queensland teachers have called for body-worn cameras in classrooms due to a spike in physical aggression incidents, reaching a five-year high.
Industry taking action to reduce the risk
This surge in risk to worker safety has prompted major retailers, councils and bylaw enforcement such as fisheries or parking, to take action and better protect their workers. In New Zealand, Woolworths deployed body-worn cameras in 2024 across all 191 stores after a surge in violent incidents against staff. The company reported that cameras have already made a difference by de-escalating confrontations and offering staff greater peace of mind.
Other sectors are also seeing results. In Auckland, parking officers working with Auckland Transport now wear BWV, as do many council workers from Southland District Council, to reduce the risk of harm and abuse as they undertake their jobs. Since the rollout, Auckland Transport noted the number of aggressive incidents has significantly decreased, offering clear evidence of the cameras’ deterrent effect.
Australia was an early adopter of body-worn video, with major retailers such as Bunnings, Coles, and Woolworthsintroducing the technology to protect staff from threatening customers and deter aggressive behaviour. Officeworks also piloted body-worn cameras and duress watches in 2023 across nine stores in five states, aiming to mitigate harm and address psychosocial risks; early results showed the initiative was well-received by staff and has proven effective in de-escalating threatening situations.
Body-Worn Video: More Than Just a Camera
Body-worn cameras have emerged as a promising safety tool that could improve worker well-being. According to Motorola Solutions’ Australia and New Zealand Retail Worker Safety Report from an independent market research firm, Researchscape, over half of retail workers in the study believe that body cameras would help them feel safer, with 66% citing their usefulness in gathering evidence for investigations. Additionally, nearly half agree that body cameras can deter aggressive or criminal behaviour in stores, underscoring their growing importance as a safety solution in the retail sector.
The benefits not only support worker well-being, but also provide value to the business for training, development and accountability.
Four key Body-Worn Video (BWV) benefits include:
Worker Safety: BWV is a visible deterrent to aggression, providing a safer working environment for staff. When people know they’re being recorded, confrontational behaviour tends to drop significantly.
Confidence and Well-being: With a camera as backup, workers report feeling more confident and secure, knowing they can call for help and have video evidence if something goes wrong. This sense of safety directly contributes to improved mental well-being on the job.
Training and Development: Footage from real incidents serves as powerful training material. New employees can learn how to respond to difficult situations, and existing staff can continuously refine their approach to customer interactions and conflict resolution.
Crime Reduction and Accountability: Whether in retail stores or on city streets, BWV has the potential to reduce crime. The simple presence of a camera often stops incidents before they escalate. If an incident does occur, BWC footage helps ensure accurate reporting and accountability with the collection of evidential-grade footage.
Choosing the Right Motorola Solutions Body-Worn Camera (BWC)
To meet the safety and security needs of frontline workers in all industries, Logic Wireless has partnered with Motorola Solutions to distribute their BWV portfolio. Motorola Solutions body worn cameras (BWC) include the VT100, V200, VB400 and V500 devices, that work with the Motorola Solutions VideoManager.
