Two Way Radio GPS

Know where your team are, all of the time!

GPS (global positioning system) is a mechanism which a device can use a number of in-range satellites to triangulate it's position and transmit that position back to the repeater or base station. This enables the supervisor to more effectively manage team members by knowing their current location.

For more information on GPS, download this Motorola GPS information sheet.

GPS is designed for outdoor tracking. See "Indoor tracking" for indoor solutions.

Two Way Radio Bluetooth

Wireless two way radio accessories that utilise Bluetooth...

Bluetooth connectivity allows audio accessories to be connected to the radio wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Most manufacturers offer Bluetooth earpieces which are only suitable for their products. This is because they generally only want you to choose their accessories, but also because of the different ways their radios work.

 It's important to note that Bluetooth is only available on some models and must be taken at the point of purchase as it cannot be added later.

Lone Worker

Lone Worker is a feature found on many two way radios where it's able to send a pre-determined signal, for example a distress call or alarm, to other radios in range, Lone Worker requires some type of interaction from the radio user after a period of radio inactivity.

An example of this is the radio can be set to require the radio operator to interact with his or her radio once every 30 minutes. If they fail to do so, their radio will start making an audible sound. If there is still no interaction with his or her radio within 1 further minute, a alarm will sound to other team members to tell them a team member is not responding to Lone Worker.

The supervisor can then dispatch another team member to the non-response team member's last known location to offer assistance.

Digital Basic Privacy

Digital Basic Privacy ensures that any communications made using your two way radios are protected against the potential for eavesdropping. Although this level of protection is very basic it still offers a degree of protection against your communications being listened in on by unwelcome parties.

Basic Privacy uses a fixed key which is set when the radio is programmed. There are 255 potential keys to be chosen from, this meaning that this is still a fairly simple privacy option for your devices. In order for an eavesdropper to listen in to your conversations they would require your exact frequencies, whilst also knowing the exact key that you have used for privacy.

The main reason for purchasing licensed two way radios is the privacy that they offer over license exempt devices. When communicating in work environments where there is the potential for sensitive information to be passed over the airwaves, having at least a basic level of privacy ensures that due diligence has been taken to keep work communications in house.
