Healthcare facilities are busy, complex environments. One of the biggest challenges is knowing who’s entering and exiting.
Clinics and hospitals have many points of entry—emergency departments, delivery areas, loading docks, staff entrances, and more. With all this movement, how do you keep track of who’s coming and going and ensure patients and staff stay safe?

Read MoreWhen people talk about the emergency response system of tomorrow, the predictions are breathtaking: firefighting drones, human-operated robots, real-time 3-D simulations, and more.
Some of that may sound like science fiction—especially given the budgetary and resource concerns facing public safety organizations. But there are sound emergency communications investments that departments can make today to prepare for tomorrow.
Let’s take a look at ways that public safety organizations can prepare for the emergency response system of the future.

Read MoreSlow or spotty WiFi can affect your business’s operations, safety, and appeal. Dreaded “dead zones” of weakened connectivity or holes in your coverage area can make it difficult to communicate, get work done, and bring people together.
Fortunately, a WiFi extender or repeater can be easily installed to eliminate these dead zones and improve connectivity.

Read MoreCommunication equipment needs to assist us, not complicate our lives.
One of the worst situations to be in is to walk into a high-stakes situation only to learn that your radio isn’t getting a signal.
We are entering a new era of unified communications, where systems like Motorola’s Safety Reimagined are able to facilitate communication — not just across devices but among different communications platforms.
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.
