5 Benefits of Two-Way Radios Over Cellphones
, by Ashley Gabriel, 1 min reading time
Many workplaces that require constant communication between workers are still using cellphones as their go-to devices. While mobile phones are often convenient and multi-functional, they’re rarely ideal for a work environment. Instead, consider something more reliable, like Motorola portable radios that provide features and applications cellphones can’t provide. Here are five benefits of two-way radios over cellphones.
Service During Emergencies
Whereas cell towers and landlines may fail in an emergency, two-way radios will always function properly, ensuring constant communication during even the direst situations. Furthermore, two-way radios allow all workers to be contacted at once rather than having to dial up everyone individually.
Clear Communication
The simplest benefit of two-way radios over cellphones is that they provide clearer communication. Because precise and clear communication is so important in industrial work environments, these radios are designed to be as clear and low latency as possible.
Easy Use
Two-way radios are also designed to be as easy to use as possible. The majority of models use touch-button talk communication so that anyone can pick up and use the radio as needed. Furthermore, many radios have cloning capabilities to simplify the process of copying radio settings to each device.
Affordability
You need every worker to be able to communicate while on the job, but ensuring everyone has a suitable cellphone can be an incredibly expensive affair. Two-way radios are far more affordable from both an upfront and long-term perspective. There are no monthly fees, service contracts, or calling minutes like with a cellphone. Furthermore, cellphones are very personal devices, whereas two-way radios can more easily be shared between workers.
Durability
Lastly, the fragility of cellphones becomes incredibly evident in work environments like construction sites or facilities with heavy machinery. Two-way radios are designed to be far more durable so that they last longer and are able to withstand a bit of abuse if necessary, as radios being crushed or dropped isn’t uncommon. Two-way radios are also designed to have long-lasting batteries that can be swapped out as necessary to allow for constant use.
