Two-way radios enable clear, instant communication for businesses across all industries. They help ensure the right people have the information they need at the right time to keep operations running smoothly.
Choosing the Best Two-Way Radio for Your Business
While two-way radios can vary by price, range and features, there are some common characteristics that will give you an idea of what to look for in your next set of business communications. Frequency and wavelength are important for transmission distance, so make sure you know what kind of frequency you need for your specific location and how far away it can be transmitted.
Licensing for two-way radio:
Two-way radio equipment must be licenced to operate on a given frequency. Every country has its own licensing authority to allocate two-way radio frequencies and you should check with your local regulatory authority.
The most commonly used two-way radio frequencies are VHF and UHF, although there are also many other frequencies that have become popular, including GMRS, FRRS, FM, DMR and TETRA.
Wireless technologies:
Today’s two-way radio systems combine reliable voice communications with advanced data capabilities and complex technology ecosystems to help businesses work more efficiently and safely. They integrate with cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence to automatically notify appropriate staff when something is amiss elsewhere in the facility or building. This saves businesses money and time by maximizing resources by placing security individuals in areas where they are needed most.
