Construction

Two-way radios are widely in use on professional construction projects to help site management coordinate personnel and services in order to deliver projects safely, on-time and within budget.

Construction sites pose many challenges to two-way radio communications, including signal coverage, ground to crane communications and linking numerous trades, subcontractors and security in user groups to each other and central management within a network.

Facilities Management performs a vital function in the smooth running of offices, retail centres, industrial buildings, schools and hospitals. It has grown to become a strategic business discipline and today offers a wider range of choice in how specific functions and services are delivered.

The use of two-way radio communication to coordinate services within facilities is widespread with the ability to deliver clear voice and data transmissions to different teams located around a site to prioritise work, respond to situations, maximise the efficient use of resources and ultimately to speed up and improve the quality of service being delivered.  Continue reading
