Improved audio quality is one of the best reasons to use digital two-way radios (walkie-talkies) in commercial settings. Particularly in environments where radios are used by mobile work teams who move around a lot over large distances and need to stay in instant communication with other people in their organizations. Plus, when work operations are particularly noisy, digital radios really prove their value. Picture construction sites with equipment and vehicles running in the background, or factory floors with manufacturing lines rumbling all around. Any location where you have to sho
Two-way radios (walkie-talkies) for hotel workers are critical communications solutions designed to drive customer service benefits and increase day-to-day staff productivity. Every hotel or resort has to be ready with an effective communication system that increases productivity and streamlines operations -- whether it's guest services, front desk operations, housekeeping, food services, security, executive staff or maintenance. Why Hotel Workers need Two-Way Radios As occupancy levels and daily rates rise to their highest levels in the past 30 years, the hospitality industry will rely even m
One touch, no reach. Those are the two fundamentals for using two-way radios (walkie-talkies) safely while driving. Federal regulations forbid the use of cellphones and sending text messages while driving commercial vehicles. However, these statutes do not prohibit the use of two-way radios, but they do offer guidelines for keeping radio users safe while driving on company business. According to federal regulators, the two greatest risks of using a cell phone while driving are reaching to grab one and using more than one button to operate it. Commercial drivers are allowed to use hands-free
Event security can be a substantial logistical challenge with dozens of things happening at once and people gathering by the thousands. Whether it’s a sporting event, a music series, a trade show, an art festival or a corporate event, it’s all about coordination. And coordination comes down to communication. Are the right people getting the right information in a timely manner? Is everyone able to respond quickly to unforeseen events? Those involved need to have clear direction, the ability to ask questions and solve problems, and access up-to-date information. That’s why event organiz
On October 12, 2015, Motorola will no longer manufacture four of its analog two-way radios (walkie-talkies). This move is expected to encourage users to migrate to superior digital technologies, which provide added operating and performance benefits. Analog has been the primary technology for two-way radios since the 1930s and it has delivered proven reliability and economy. However, the analog signal has significant limitations and the scope of functional innovations is virtually exhausted. The robust MOTOTRBO line is Motorola’s next-generation system of digital portable and mobile ra
