Agri Western Cape had a simplex radio frequency registered with ICASA to empower farmers with a means of communication that is not dependent on power supply or cell phone reception. The system will allow farmers to call for help wherever they find themselves within the Western Cape. Although the system has its limitations and the environment will determine the range of communication, any high-frequency radio, regardless of brand or model, will be able to communicate with other farmers in the area on the registered channel. Agri Western Cape would like to encourage all farmers in the Western Cape to have the frequency installed on their radios, thereby establishing a strong online communication network where they can support each other in emergency situations.
