Why Your Industry Needs a Communications Solution

Posted by Lisa MacGillivray on Monday, April 20, 2015

Are you wondering how a communications solution can help your organization? Many people across many MOTOTRBO_EducationResizeindustries are looking into adopting a communications solution to help them stay safe, become more efficient, and reduce costs. Here are the ways radio and network communications solutions can benefit you and your industry.

Education

School buildings and campuses become safe and efficient when the staff can communicate effectively. Creating an environment where students are always safe and can focus on learning is the core objective for schools around the country. In order to do this, schools need to adopt a comprehensive communications strategy that includes radio, network, security, and video solutions.

When an emergency presents itself, such as dangerous weather or another campus threat, the quality of emergency preparedness that a school has will factor into the outcome. When digital two-way radios are given to faculty they stay connected throughout the building/campus, even when severe weather knocks the power out. Staying connected can help keep students safe in the case of an emergency, and schools who rely on cellphones for communication may run into issues during these important times (low battery, dead spots, etc.) that can be avoided with radios.

Healthcare

IT or security employees in the healthcare sector know that just like in education, instant and reliable communication makes a great difference. Whether the goal is to track patient progress, locate staff within the hospital, or simply improve responsiveness of healthcare providers, there is a communications solution designed for healthcare. Some of these include pager communication technology, wireless network solutions, and, digital two-way radios.

For those working in the healthcare industry, long hours are the norm. You need to be able to communicate at any point throughout your 12/16/20 hour shift and cannot rely on your cellphone for that kind of battery life. Hospitals also present emergencies quite frequently, and emergencies often come with lots of noise. Cellphone microphones capture everything around you and can make critical communication hard to understand. Two-way radios have the ability to cancel out these other noises and allow you to focus on the important communications you face.

Hospitals and healthcare providers alike are always looking to simplify processes, but unfortunately they get caught up in the hectic nature of healthcare, and these things slip by. To learn how to implement a communications solution in the healthcare sector, click here.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing has so many different moving parts that communication throughout is essential to a successful process. Regardless of the department (production, maintenance, safety, quality, engineering, etc.) factory-setting workers rely on communication to stay on time and stay safe.

Two-way radios have the ability to help keep workers safe via a feature like Man Down. Here are some of the other benefits of implementing a comprehensive communications solution:

  • Cost savings: lower costs than typical monthly cellular charges. Instant connectivity and wide area coverage, and third party applications to enhance and increase the capital expenditures allow you to do more with less. 
  • Increased productivity: Instant communication to production teams means faster response times and enhanced production volumes. Employees can be located and directed anywhere in the plant, untethered.
  • Worker safety: Preempt potential hazards with one-to-one or one-to-many calling. Motorola radios include emergency call features to alert a safety or security team.
  • Reduced waste: Managers can quickly contact factory personnel to notify them of updates to production orders and avoid potential errors in raw materials ordering.
  • Hands-free portability: Accessories make it simple for workers to clip their radio onto a belt and remote speakers microphones allow users to talk without holding the radio.
