Congratulations Emirates Team New Zealand on a landmark America’s Cup win!
With a young crew led by Olympic gold medalist Peter Burling, Team New Zealand began the America’s Cup match down a point as a challenger team, but the tide turned after an incredibly successful opening weekend, and they sailed their way to a stellar win this morning.
Today we’re excited to share the latest Tait Tough story with you: our radios were part of the world’s longest canyoning expedition!
In Spring 2016 a group of 8 professional Canyoneers from around the world gathered in Taiwan to set a new milestone in expedition canyoning. It was an epic 8-day mission where the group explored the Malishan Canyon. They started with limited information from satellite pictures, a map that was rarely updated, and a few stories from locals. The team completed the mission, becoming the first to ever achieve a canyon descent of that length.
Otago University played host to the 2016 International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC), where leaders in academia and industry discussed the future of communications technology. As a proud patron of the event, Tait sent a handful of representatives to learn from and contribute to the discussion. Our Head of Research and Technology, Dr Clive Horn, delivered a well received presentation on the Future Evolution of Critical Communications.
Tait Communications’ market-facing staff members from regional offices around the world have been at the company’s base in Christchurch, New Zealand, for the annual sales conference.
The meeting gives our regional sales engineers, marketing and logistics officers and salespeople an opportunity to spend time with Tait’s engineers, product management and customer-service teams to learn about the latest solutions, products and service releases, what’s planned for release in coming months and to share information about the innovative ways our customers are...

Sir Angus Tait, our company founder has always believed that we are here to ‘build lasting benefits for our clients and the communities in which we operate. Supporting events to group and organizations who are dedicated to ensuring safer and more resilient communities is one of the ways in which we could give something back to the community.
Throughout 2016 Tait is proud to support as sponsor the following community initiatives:
AFAC 2016 Brisbane, 30 August – 2 September
At Tait Communications we work alongside our customers to help them achieve great things. One recent example is The Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge, a prestigious, high profile event where firefighters climb the tower’s 1,103 stairs in full firefighting kit to raise money for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer NZ, an organization funding research, support services and advocacy.
We’ve supported the Sky Tower Challenge for a number of years through financial and in-kind support with the supply of some of our radios to help ensure everything runs smoothly. It is... Continue Reading
On September 29, 2015, Tait Communications organized its first Rugby Night in London in celebration of the Rugby World Cup 2015.
We invited Tait partners to the New Zealand House penthouse in London for watching the Tonga vs Namibia Rugby World Cup game and a New Zealand-themed dinner. The guests were also treated to an energizing performance of a traditional Maori Haka by Ngati Ranana.

The greatest motivation for physiological monitoring technology is to prevent occupational loss of life. Tait has integrated physiological monitoring into our critical communications solutions, where firefighters and other workers in dangerous environments can be monitored.
But rather than talk about physiological monitoring as part of a critical communications solution, we have been taking it out into the field. Two of our in-field tests were firefighter stair climbs, simulating real life activity – well, minus the actual burning building!

On 23 May 2015, undeterred by driving rain and chilling Auckland temperatures, a team of Tait Tough employees showcased their support for fire services and Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC) at the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge.
Now in its 11th year, the Stair Challenge invites firefighters from around the world to raise funds and awareness for LBC by racing up 51 floors (all 1,103 steps) of the Sky Tower wearing full firefighting kit weighing 25kg.
LBC is New Zealand’s national charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families living with blood cancers like leukaemia and related blood conditions.

Earlier this month a few members of our Houston and Christchurch teams attended UTC 2015 in Atlanta. We had a great time and just wanted to give everyone who stopped by our booth a special thank you for visiting.
On display we had a Tait GridLink demo, and many people were interested to learn how it works. Learn more about our distribution automation solution.
The Tait booth also had a DMR Tier 3 system operating. In order to demonstrate Tait Toughness, one of the radios on the network spent the entire trade show under water. Continue Reading
