In this age of technological marvels, where a simple cellphone almost has the same capabilities as a computer, many would think that a two-way radio is an outdated piece of technology better left in the history books. So why are these still relevant? Despite being a relatively antiquated piece of technology, these clunky looking gadgets still have a purpose in business and industrial settings.

2. In this age of technological marvels, where a simple cellphone almost has
the same capabilities as a computer, many would think that a two-way radio
is an outdated piece of technology better left in the history books. So why
are these still relevant? Despite being a relatively antiquated piece of
technology, these clunky looking gadgets still have a purpose in business
and industrial settings.
Quicker calls get things done
Although two-way radios have a
simpler communication system
compared to cellphones, it is
instant unlike cellphones in
cellphones wherein the person
needs to dial the number, wait for a
free line, or for the other person to
pick up. This is because two-way
radios have a channel solely
dedicated for them to use unlike cellphones that require a service provider.
This faster way of communicating is invaluable to many large-scale
businesses and industrial operations. A person with a two-way radio
communicating with someone else can listen to instructions and get things
done at the same time. They can also do this hands-free, as they can simply
clip the radio on their belt. Additionally, people
can still communicate even if there is a network
outage simply because two-way radios have their
own channel.
Durability
Two-way radios are more durable compared to
the more fragile cellphones. These radios can
easily resist falls and even blunt-force damage.
Even when it is subject to heat, rain, or cold,
they can still function properly. For those working
in construction or industrial complexes, this is an
invaluable asset.

3. Information is safe
Because two-way radios have their own dedicated
channel, the information that people are communicating
is safer and confidential between the two people using
the radios. There is no risk that another person can hijack
the two-way radio’s signal or channel and they are sure
that they are the only two communicating; the only way
to hijack a two-way radio is for someone to actually steal
one of them and even then, the person can tell who is on
the line.
Two-way radios may be outdated, but they still are still
the smarter and more cost effective choice for
businesses, construction, and industrial complexes.
