Choosing the right antenna and ensuring its proper installation are critical to maintaining these vital connections. Acknowledging this, Sure Antennas is proud to announce a strategic partnership with The Association of Vehicle Installers (AVI) to develop and deliver a specialised antenna module as part of their comprehensive blue light course.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Antenna

Selecting the right antenna is crucial for ensuring optimal performance in Emergency Service vehicles. The antennas are often required to support a range of technologies, including radio equipment, vehicle routers, telematics, and fixed vehicle devices. Choosing a high-performance antenna is essential for maintaining clear, uninterrupted communication, which is vital for the safety and efficiency of emergency response teams. However, even the best antenna can only deliver its full potential if installed correctly. This is where The AVI’s expertise and training become invaluable.

The AVI’s Role in Training and Certification

AVI certified engineers and installers are at the forefront of vehicle conversion and installation. Those interested in becoming certified go through a rigorous two-day training course. This course includes hands-on experience and detailed assessments, ensuring that each participant is thoroughly versed in the proper installation of antennas. The AVI officially recognises and endorses the use of Sure Antenna’s products due to the thorough testing and accreditation each prototype has achieved before reaching the market.

Upon completion, participants receive a certification from The AVI, recognising them as certified installers. This certification is a valuable credential that they can carry with them to any vehicle converter or new employer. Additionally, The AVI offers a yearly subscription that provides access to other training materials, ensuring ongoing education and up-to-date knowledge.

Comprehensive Training Beyond Antennas

The antenna module is a key component of The AVI’s blue light course, but the training extends beyond just antenna installation. Participants also learn about the installation and management of other critical vehicle components such as light bars, power management systems, CCTV installations, telematics, dashcams, and more. This holistic approach ensures that installers are well-rounded and capable of handling a variety of installation challenges.
