Which communication devices to use?
- Outdoor trips: Use walkie-talkies or FRS/GMRS two-way radios for easy, signal-free communication in remote areas or between vehicles.
- Busy offices or remote teams: Use VoIP desk phones for internet-based calls, and pair with call centre headsets for hands-free, professional conversations.
- In-home communication: Use wireless intercom systems for quick room-to-room talk, or smart door intercoms to monitor visitors and ensure safety.
- Small business or home office: Use DECT cordless phone systems with multiple handsets to stay reachable from anywhere in the house or workspace.
- Emergency or off-grid communication: Use two-way radios for more remote and high-risk areas.
What are my options for home phone systems?
Even with mobile devices, many prefer a dedicated home phone.
- Cordless phones (DECT): Offer freedom to move around while talking. Look for features like answering machines, caller ID, call blocking, and multiple handsets.
- Corded phones: Provide reliability, especially during power outages (if it's a basic model not requiring separate power). Often simpler to use.
- VoIP (voice over internet protocol) phones: Use your internet connection for calls. Can offer cost savings and advanced features.
When are two-way radios useful?
Two-way radios are excellent for instant communication where mobile signals might be weak or unavailable.
- Recreational use: Hiking, camping, skiing, theme parks, or keeping in touch on cruise ships.
- Professional use: Construction sites, event management, security, retail, and hospitality.
- Key features to consider: Range, battery life, durability (water/dust resistance), number of channels, privacy codes, and VOX (voice-activated transmission).
