Communication Without Limits — professional radio solutions for clear, instant communication across every team
About CTS Radios

Keeping the UK
connected,
one site at a time.

The character of CTS is built on one thing: expertise earned on-site, not in a showroom. For 35 years our senior engineers have stood on the same construction sites, venues and event fields as the people we serve — and that is why we know which radio works in a basement and which doesn’t.

CTS specialises in professional two-way radio hire, sales and service. Every radio we deliver is pre-configured to your site frequency, pre-charged, and ready to use the moment it arrives. We manage OFCOM licensing, conduct free site inspections, and provide ongoing support for the full duration of every contract — whether that’s a two-day event or a two-year build.

Our story

From local foundations to a leading UK radio company.

When CTS was founded in London in 1987, two-way radio was analogue, heavy and used by a handful of industries. There was no pre-configuration, no same-day delivery, no site inspection — just a radio in a box and a hope it worked.

CTS built something different. We invested in engineering expertise first. We developed the systems to configure every radio before it left our warehouse. We built formal partnerships with Motorola and Hytera. And we showed up — on every site, for every client — until the industry knew our name.

Today CTS serves 12 industries across the UK. But the founding principle hasn’t changed: the right radio, to the right place, ready to work.
