Listen Through Your Temples, Not Through Your Ears?

Temple Transducer is the name, and enhanced communication is its game. Unlike conventional headsets, these allow the user’s ears to be uncovered and completely free to hear surrounding environmental sounds, while still using the Motorola two-way portable radio. Conventional headsets can mask external sounds, such as approaching traffic and overhead pages, that are crucial for busy professionals to hear.

You're probably thinking how does it work? Well the solution lies within bone conduction technology. Bone conduction is the reason why a person's voice sounds different to him/her when it is recorded and played back. Because the skull conducts lower frequencies better than air, people perceive their own voices to be lower and deeper than others do.

Radio Transforms from Yesterday’s Ship-to-Shore to Today’s Smart Phones

 From telegraphs to wireless connecting people around the world radio technology has come a long way.  Amazingly wireless network data traffic has grown by about 400 percent since 2006. Yet almost 90 years ago, a ‘radio-phoning’ experimental installation on the Chicago elevated railroad produced predictions about being able to call home while in transit to ask about dinner. What once was a far-out idea is now a daily occurrence as many of us check in from the train or car on the way home from the office.

The radio and wireless communications that we know today come from roots in the military and government—still strong users leading today’s innovations.

The earliest communications used the telegraph to transmit Morse code and were used primarily for ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship communication. Proving perfect for sea-faring, wireless signals become the standard when in 1901 the U.S. Navy adopted a wireless communication system to replace visual signaling and homing pigeons.

Stay in Touch in Times of Emergency with Two-Way Radios

Two-way radios are important tools for many businesses, allowing employees to stay in touch regardless of their location. But two-ways radios can be useful outside of the workplace, too, particularly in times of emergency.

      If the recent devastation in Japan and the state of Alabama has taught us anything, it's that disater can strike anytime, anywhere. And when the unthinkable happens, two-way radios can play a critical role in ensuring the safety of you and your loved ones.

Why Go Digital? Analog vs. Digital Two-Way Radios

     The truth is that while analog radios may get the job done, they've pretty much reached their limit in terms of innovation and advancement.
