We need to talk for a minute about batteries: Bad batteries, good batteries, and how to tell the difference.
Two-way radios are essential for reliable and seamless communication, but this equipment doesn’t work without a battery.
Today’s supply chain delays and global shortages are making high-quality batteries harder to find.
In this day and age, concealed weapon detection is a key aspect of keeping people safe.
Whether it’s schools, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, or events and concerts, we all agree on the need to stop dangerous weapons from entering these places and bad actors from committing heinous crimes.
As more districts are discovering every day, two-way radios in K-12 schools are the centerpiece of any effective safety plan.
Radios outpace cell phones in terms of reliability, durability, and functionality, and there are tailored radio solutions available regardless of the communications challenges schools and districts face.
This safety guide with case studies provides a comprehensive overview of two-way radios in K-12 schools and the options available for overcoming infrastructure, geographic and logistical issues.

Read MoreWhat good is intelligence if it isn’t able to be shared?
That is the principle underlying the idea of unified communication.
Whether it’s a public safety system, a commercial system, or a standalone system, intelligence gained through radios, cameras, and other automated systems needs to be easily shared across multiple devices.
In my town of Cedar Lake, Indiana, we have a farmer’s market every Tuesday.
They have an interesting history of how they came to inherit their communication system. When the town’s police and fire department upgraded their two-way radio system, they passed along their older system to the public works department that runs the farmer’s market.
You know the phrase, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”?
What if it is broken, and it’s a two-way radio that is essential to your daily work?
How do we stay up‑to‑date in a world that is changing so fast?
The questions we get from customers are as different as the people who ask them.
Some people are calling it “The Great Resignation.”
