PMR Products

What PMR Products does

PMR Products Ltd is a UK-based designer, manufacturer, and systems integrator of mission-critical wireless communication, personal alarm, and indoor location systems, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Chepstow, Wales. The company serves organizations operating in environments where GPS, Wi-Fi, and consumer mobile networks are unreliable or unavailable — most prominently UK prisons, offshore wind farms, water treatment utilities, healthcare facilities, retail and town-centre security partnerships, sports stadiums, and educational campuses. With over 150 SafetyNet Custodial systems installed across the UK prison estate since 1996, PMR has established a deep installed base in the custodial sector while progressively extending into adjacent safety-critical verticals.

Its core technology is the SafetyNet platform, an integrated stack combining TETRA and DMR radio systems, a proprietary IoT mesh network (SafetyNet Mesh, described as unhackable and self-healing), RFID-based indoor tracking, GPS outdoor location, and a software suite (SafetyNet Software, Client, and Locator). The portfolio spans personal safety devices (SafetyNet Protect+, SafetyNet Assure, PMR Vigilant), the SafetyNet Asset tracking tag with up to five-year battery life, the SafetyNet Alarm Processor for OT/SCADA integration, the new SafetyNet SELFy RFID pairing system, and the KEN1 module for Kenwood NX3000 radios. SafetyNet is designed to interoperate with third-party radio hardware from Hytera, Sepura, DAMM Cellular Systems, Kenwood, and Tait, positioning PMR as both an OEM of its own devices and an integration layer across heterogeneous mission-critical radio estates.

PMR Products generates revenue through hardware sales of proprietary devices and integrated third-party radios, software licensing for the SafetyNet platform (including configuration, mapping, and control-room functionality), and professional services covering site surveys, system design, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance under ISO 9001, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 27001 certifications. Pricing is quote-based reflecting bespoke, project-led deployments, with lease/purchase flexibility offered on selected devices such as SafetyNet Assure. The company goes to market exclusively through direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by participation in industry exhibitions (Critical Communications World, Wind Europe, Global Offshore Wind, IPIC) and a content-led blog of case studies and sector insights. The business remains privately held with no disclosed external investors, no M&A activity, and no publicly reported revenue.

Direct peers

• Sepura: UK-based TETRA mission-critical radio specialist whose SC20 handsets PMR Products integrated into the Principality Stadium deployment. Sepura overlaps with PMR's prison, stadium and public-safety segments, making it the most direct European tier-one peer.
• Tait Communications: DMR Tier 3 critical-communications network provider that PMR Products has partnered with on the London Array windfarm deployment. Tait competes with PMR's network-integration layer in transport, utilities and public-safety tenders globally.
• Hytera: Global PMR/DMR/TETRA radio manufacturer whose handsets and infrastructure PMR Products integrates with (Hytera PT580H, PD785G used in HMP Kilmarnock and Windsor & Maidenhead). Hytera is at once a key partner and the closest like-for-like PMR hardware competitor.
• Peoplesafe (Rocksure Systems): UK lone-worker safety solution provider combining personal safety devices with managed monitoring. Direct competitor to PMR's lone-worker safety product line, particularly SafetyNet Assure and PMR Vigilant, in welfare-check and duress markets.
• SoloProtect: Leading UK lone-worker safety device and monitoring service provider. Competes with SafetyNet Assure and SafetyNet Protect+ in enterprise lone-worker contracts across retail, healthcare and public-sector verticals.
• DAMM Cellular Systems: Provider of TETRA base-station infrastructure (BS421/BS422) with TetraFlex software that PMR Products is a UK integration partner of. Overlapping role in the TETRA critical-comms integrator ecosystem makes DAMM a direct peer in solution-layer competition.

Broad incumbents

• Motorola Solutions: Global market leader in mission-critical communications with TETRA/DMR radio infrastructure, command-centre software and lone-worker offerings. Most significant broad incumbent PMR Products must integrate against, especially in UK prison, public safety and critical infrastructure tenders.

Emerging players

• Sonitor Technologies: Real-time location system (RTLS) vendor specialising in ultrasound-based indoor tracking for healthcare and harsh-environment applications. Adjacent technology competitor to SafetyNet Mesh / SafetyNet Locator in indoor positioning markets.
• StaySafe (EIS): App-based lone-worker and employee safety monitoring platform. Competes with PMR's lone-worker offerings in lower-complexity deployments where mobile-app rather than dedicated-device use cases dominate.

Others

• Cortech (Nortech / Cortech Software): Building management / PSIM (Datalog) platform integrated with SafetyNet under the 2025 strategic alliance. Adjacent PSIM enabling partner rather than head-to-head competitor; included to illustrate the integration ecosystem PMR Products now sits within.
