KJ Precision Engineering proudly manufactured and supplied over 500 Dritel 4G Emergency Telephones and 4G retrofit kits to replace the outgoing 3G units. These phones have been approved by Transport for NSW, VIC Roads, QLD Main Roads and WA Main Roads.
Over 200 Dritel phones and retrofit kits were sent to Western Australia to upgrade their Emergency Roadside Telephones before 3G was turned off by Telstra. These are dotted along the main highways in WA in some remote areas frequented by tourists and trucks and are a lifeline for people travelling long distances.
Around 100 of the Dritel phones have been installed on NSW roads to facilitate road safety and provide communication for commuters on main highways that experience congestion and high accident rates.
Queensland and Victoria Main Roads – Roadside Emergency Help Phones
Dritel is the approved and preferred supplier of Emergency Help Phones for Qld and Vic main roads departments. These customers have been purchasing the Dritel products through Roadtek, Tyco and independent contractors for over 25 years. Many of the units supplied in the early contracts are still in service today, which attests to their quality. A quote from Tyco Traffic and Transportation in Victoria reads,
“We find the Dritel Emergency Help Phones to be extremely reliable. They are placed in areas that are exposed to extreme weather conditions and exposed to frequent attempts at vandalism by the public. Reliability is one of the phones stronger features.”
A recent project was the supply of Emergency Help Telephones for the Gateway upgrade project through Visionstream Australia. Approximately 300 Dritel Phones will be used in this upgrade over a 2 year period.
A quote from a Senior works officer with Roadtek of Queensland Main Roads.

And
“We get good service from KJ Precision Engineering, we have no problems with them, my staff don’t have complaints either, not one complaint, not one”.
