Walkie Talkies have been around forever. In the beginning, it was mainly the police forces and military that used them, but in this modern age of Smartphone’s, tablets and internet connections, the good old Walkie-talkie still stands firm. Why are businesses all over the globe continually using them? What makes these devices front runners for business communications when there are so many other alternative methods to communicate these days? What is the secret behind them?
All businesses need good effective and efficient communications, to operate adequately, and without it, it can spark disaster. That being said, Smartphones and computers can offer precisely that, so why the need for Two-way radios, you may ask? The short answer being walkie talkies operate more efficiently since they do not need to rely on any Network signal or internet connection like smartphones or computers do. And if that fails, so do communications.
Also, when it comes to fast communications, the walkie talkie provides a much quicker and easy approach since there’s no texting, finding numbers in phone books, sending emails, etc. You simply push a button and talk.
Safety aspects
Modern tech is amazing, but when it comes to safety concerns, it’s not always secure. Hacking tends to be a common trait, breaching security and stealing Data is not that uncommon. Two-way radios operate differently. It’s safer because communications within the network are more restricted and monitored. This is why it is the most prefered means of communication among security experts, especially for manned guarding, whether armed with Complete AK 47’s range, handguns, or not, and irrespective of whether there’s a security system in place, or not.
Cost-effective
Walkie Talkies are more cost-effective, and for businesses that is always a big plus. There are no monthly communications or data roaming charges.
