Keep Official Communications Private

Keep Official Communications Private

There are several occasions when your entire team needs to communicate with each other simultaneously. One way out is using a VOIP or the voice over internet protocol. However, this implies that each one is at his/her desk and has access to the computer and broadband. This is not always feasible as most people in the construction business know. Whether it is security personnel in a multi-storied building or mall; or in businesses like transportation, interior decoration or construction, you might have several people at different locations that need to communicate what is going on. This issue is better resolved using walkie-talkies.Professional Usage Requires Professional GearThe idea is to ensure that you or your personnel are not at the mercy of cell phone service providers.

How Far Do Two-Way Radios Actually Work?

The range of a two-way radio or walkie-talkie actually depends on a multitude of factors. These prohibitive issues can be things like the radio's transmit power, the quality of the in-built antenna and even the amount of potential obstacles to block signal. As we will discuss further in this article different types of radios work better in certain environments. UHF (Ultra-High Frequency is any radio frequency range between 300 MHz and 3GHz) radios, tend to work better in urban or indoor environments than their VHF (Very High Frequency is any radio frequency range between 30 MHz and 300MHz) counterparts. Using the right kind of radio in the right kind of situation can be a major factor in your radio's performance. A good general guide is to expect a business walkie talkie working in simpl...

Do Two-Way Radios Work on Cruise Ships?

Do Two-Way Radios Work on Cruise Ships?

Yes, two-way radios DO work on cruise ships. However, because the same channels tend to be a bit overused, passengers can expect a fair amount of chatter and signal interference when using their radios. I suppose the two way radios/walkie talkies would be the best option. But, how important is being in constant communication with the rest of your family anyway? A ship, while large, isn't huge. If you know the general area where people will be, you could walk over and find them. Preset arranged meeting times and places would work as well. People were able to get along fairly well without being able to directly communicate with each other at every moment of the day So, aside from the option of setting pre-arranged meeting times, a two-way radio isn't a terrible idea, especially if you have...

I Want to Buy a 2 Way Radio, What Should I Look Out For?

Long-range walkie-talkies (which we'll abbreviate here to LRWT, for short) come in many different shapes and sizes. They also typically boast a wide variety of extra features, such as LCD screens, weather warnings and emergency buttons. It is up to you to decide which of these extra features are worth spending out on.Shopping for an LRWT is essentially the same deal as shopping for any other kind of walkie-talkie or two-way radio. Of course, you should ignore any claims that the radio can communicate across distances of 30, or even 25, miles, such claims are always to be considered fallacious (as we've discussed elsewhere this month). In addition, it is worth investing in a radio that has a 'privacy' function if you are planning to use it at a crowded event, or indeed in any place that is ...

How Two Way Radio Works

One of the biggest selling points for 2 way radios is their simplicity. Radios are extremely easy both to initially set up and to use.The average two way comes equipped with a PTT (or Push To Talk) button. This button is held down when you want to speak into the device and released when you wish to hear the reply. It is important to say "over" after you have finished talking, this way the person receiving your message knows that you have finished speaking and aren't simply distracted or taking a breath. If you both try to talk at the same time, neither signal will come through.Most 2 way radios will operate at a decent distance, but as we discussed earlier this month, there are many variables that can affect a radio signal. Obstacles, be they man-made or naturally occurring, can seriously ...
