How-To-Radio: Added Features

Two way radios are the industry standard for efficient, effective communications in worksites, factories and agriculture sectors all around the world. They are simple to use and can easily be integrated into any workplace to improve safety and ensure clear lines of communication, regardless of scale. As the technology behind these radios progresses however, they are able to do so much more than just allow you to talk. Functions like lone worker and voice dekey can further improve the way you communicate in your workplace, making it safer and more efficient.

GPS Tracking allows you to keep track of where your workers and their radios are at all times. This is especially useful if you have a large workplace, where your workers will be spread out and unable to see and hear each other. If anything goes wrong, you can quickly check the location of the radio in question, saving time that may be valuable in an emergency.

Scrambling (or eavesdrop reduction) is a way to keep the communications between your teams radios private. If anyone who doesn't have the decryption key tries to listen in to the conversation, they won't be able to hear what you are saying clearly, only hearing a distorted noise. This is great for industries where you want to keep your communications private, like security or services.

Text Messaging isn't just for phones anymore; many modern two way radios can communicate using text messaging to easily and quietly send information between two or more radios. This can be great if you are worried about the environment being too noisy to clearly hear the speaker or if you need to quickly get information out in a simple way. If there are situations that are common in your workplace, you can pre-program a variety of messages that are understood by the whole team and can work on radios that may not have a full keypad. This ensures clear communication, and avoids problems like misinterpretation or typos.

These features can completely revolutionise the way your workplace communicates, and ensure that you have a safer, more efficient two way radio set-up. You don't have to activate these features on all of your radios either. If you have a manager or team leader, you can give them the extra capabilities without complicating the other team members radios. Our team of skilled technicians and programmers here at Mobicomm can also help customise the set-up so that you get the features that are right for you.
