The Entel HX400 series of radios has long been a favourite among security personnel for its compact size, its reliability and its built in scrambling function, so it comes as no surprise that the HX400 is the radio of choice for the security men guarding Channel 4’s Big Brother House at Elstree Studios.

Olympus security chief, Mick Sheehan, told Entel: “The demands of live television require that our portable radios can be switched on for long hours at a time and work without technical glitches.” Mick Sheehan adds: “In the case of the Entel HX400 I have never had to change batteries during a 12 hour shift under normal working conditions. The batteries charge rapidly and the changeover is very straight forward.”

No matter how contentious things may get in the Big Brother House sometimes, the Entel HX400 clearly wins the security men’s vote time after time after time.
