Last week, from October 14th to 16th, we conducted a Garmin training session for our staff and resellers in Windhoek, focusing on a range of products from the Sports & Fitness, Outdoor Recreation, Automotive, and Marine sectors. The participants were highly engaged, sharing insights and asking numerous questions. The practical sessions provided them with a foundational understanding of the products' capabilities. We even took a walk along an outdoor trail using preloaded routes.

Overall, the three-day training was extremely informative, covering everything from entry-level to high-end products. For Radio Electronic and our resellers, this training was a significant success, and we are now confident in our ability to recommend the right products to our clients.

A big thank you to Garmin Southern Africa for their support in facilitating this training. We look forward to more training opportunities in the coming years.

EV CHARGING STATION

The EV Charging Station has three-phase and single-phase capabilities. It delivers a maximum of 22kW AC in three-phase or 7.3kW in single-phase mode.

It has a built-in LCD touch screen for monitoring and control directly from the charging station. Initial setup, configuration and monitoring is done from VictronConnect via Bluetooth and/or the integrated web interface via a WiFi Access Point or a WiFi LAN.

The EV Charging Station can be fully integrated with and remotely controlled via a Victron Energy GX Device and VRM.

Not only does this EV Charging Station fully integrate with a Victron Energy GX device and VRM, if you have solar (within the Victron ecosystem), it can also be set up to allow excess energy from the sun to directly charge your vehicle. Manual and scheduled modes offer even more flexibility to respond to the needs of the EV depending on the system.

It has a fully programmable RGB light ring around the charging port that displays different light effects depending on the current status (disconnected, charging, charged, etc.) to quickly determine the device status.

Our Story

The company was established in 1961 by Mr S. Rössler in Walvis Bay, with main emphasis on Marine Electronics. With the retirement of Mr S. Rössler in 1992, the company was restructured to a Close Corporation (c.c.), with the following members:

Mr U.W.H. Eisel, Mr G.B. Heitmann, Mr G.F. Rössler & Mr L.R.P. Zahradnicky.

At that stage, Namibia attained independence from South Africa, and the company actively pursued direct representation for overseas manufacturers, whose products were previously purchased from a South African importer or distributor.

During the years, the company expanded, and besides for the head office which is located in Walvis Bay, the main Namibian harbour town, a branch in Windhoek, the capital city, was also established.

From the Windhoek branch we provide mainly for the Land-mobile Satellite Communication, Navigation, HF-Radio & Land-mobile Radio Markets, as well as the provision of a rental service for Satellite Telephones. A further major component is the provision of high-quality products for the Alternative Energy and Power Back-up Markets, such as Inverters, Converters, Battery Chargers and specialised Batteries from Victron Energy B.V. in the Netherlands. The customer base in Windhoek consists mainly of Corporate and Government clients. From there we also conduct limited business with customers from Angola and other neighbouring countries.

During 2014/2015, three of the four members retired, and their shares were taken over by 4 new members:

Mr G.B. Heitmann (existing member), Mr R Rothkegel, Mr J Wormsbacher, Mr H Schrader & Mr F du Toit.

All 5 directors (called members in a c.c.) are working employees of the company, whom now employ a total number of 32 employees.

Today Radio Electronic c.c. specialises in Marine Electronics, Radio and Satellite Communications and in importing and distributing various specialised electronic equipment lines in Namibia.

Radio Electronic is the largest company in Namibia dealing in Marine Electronics, with an estimated market share of 80% and the leader in the provision of Inmarsat Satellite Products and Services and Digital Radio Solutions.

We also provide Regional Radio Communication Services in the Erongo Region, with VHF Radio Community Repeaters strategically located at our own Radio High Sites in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, on Rössing Mountain and Grootberg Mountain. Numerous corporate, mining, government and utility clients make use of this existing network.

In 2008, the Radio Systems Division was added in order to address the more sophisticated Radio Communication requirements of mining, corporate and government clients all over Namibia. Radio Electronic is continuously engaged in the realisation of local and regional digital radio networks and has qualified and competent staff to realise complex and large projects. We can provide customer-specific solutions based on Digital Radio Technologies, such as TETRA, Motorola MotoTrbo™ or other radio systems. Radio Electronic CC became the largest authorised and accredited Motorola reseller and channel partner in Namibia and holds stock of various equipment’s at its warehouse in Windhoek and Walvis Bay. We are the only Motorola dealer in Namibia that have done the Linked Capacity Plus certification and are able design and implement large trunking system based on the MotoTrbo Topology.

The company places heavy emphasis on technical and service back-up and the workshops are fully equipped to support products that are sold, providing installation, repair and service. For products sold and represented, adequate stock of spare parts and consumables are kept. Through a continuous program of technical training, reliable, efficient and dedicated staff of specialised and experienced technicians and engineers are available to support all the products offered. We are registered with the Namibian and South African Engineering councils and adhere to their professional code of conduct. In addition, we are Affirmative Action compliant in line with the Affirmative Action Act of 1998, Section 41.

The overall customer base is extensive and covers many players in the fishing industry, in government departments down to local authorities, Telecom, Water, Electricity and other utilities, mining, the farming community, commerce, travel and tourism industry and selected re-sellers or dealers for products we import and distribute. We take part in selected local exhibitions from time to time in order to introduce new products and services and also make product presentations from time to time of specific products to selected target groups.

We have in-house IT capabilities and are resellers for computer equipment and accessories; but limit our sales of IT equipment to specialised systems for specific market segments. As an on-going process of diversification, we are continuously engaged in the search for new technologies and products to include in our product portfolio. For this purpose strategic partnerships are being concluded with reputable companies and providers and we aim at establishing ourselves in these markets as knowledgeable and reputable Namibian suppliers and solution providers.
