Teletrix

Teletrix has been supplying training programs and industry professionals with quality simulated radiation training equipment since 1988.

As the leading manufacturer of Radiation Training Simulators in the United States, Teletrix has developed numerous products as a result of extensive customer interaction, survey and feedback. Our customers have asked to be provided with the most realistic training scenarios possible without exposing their trainees to radiation. They want to ‘train as they work” experiencing the full functionality of instruments rather than the short physical detection range offered by the use of real meters and low-level sources. Teletrix responded with a line of instruments that replicates the real world through remote control and simulation.
