60 seconds with Airsys' Tom Grady

Tom Grady, technical manager at Airsys, talks to Land Mobile about his life-long interest in radio communications

How do you spend your time at work?

Providing second- and third-line support answering the more advanced programming issues. Additionally I support our sales team in project proposals for our dealers, from inception to delivery. Often I’m called upon to carry out technical training to upskill dealers’ engineers.

What do you think has been your most unforgettable project so far?

I was involved in engineering the MPT1327 radio system during the construction phase of the Olympic Park site running up to the London Games in 2012.

What has been the most unusual thing that you have seen while working in the radio sector?

I had great fun working on the recording of Robot Wars Series 3 in 1999. It was my job to resolve all the technical RF faults with robot remote control systems before watching them get smashed to smithereens!

How has your role changed since you started working within the radio industry?
