Basingstoke -- Dolphin Telecom, the only mobile network operator for business, welcomed local MP Tony McWalter to its Hemel Hempstead site.

McWalter, a member of the House of Commons Science and Technology committee, joined Tony Smith, Dolphin`s operations director, for a tour of the company including the Network Management Centre where the monitoring of Dolphin`s network takes place.

McWalter, new to the role, was given an insight into the TETRA technology that Dolphin`s network runs on, Dolphin`s plans for the future and how they are looking to grow the business through further recruitment. As the nation`s sole network concentrating on the provision of mobile communications to businesses and organisations, Dolphin provides workforces with a versatile and flexible mobile communications service.
