Looking for benefits of a digital walkie-talkie. Firecom will be happy to explain what you can take into account. In order to properly understand the benefits of a digital two-way radio, some explanation is important. The walkie-talkie has changed from a rope with two cans to a multifunctional tool in the company.

Type of radio

First of all, it is good to know that there are different types of radio. The radio has a known form, although the content is very different. We know the brand new 4G communication, analog communication and a digital walkie-talkie.

Analog communication

The first type that we would like to mention briefly is analog communication. The quality is mainly recognizable by very direct communication, wide range and recognizable 'voice' on the other side of the line without delay. When approaching the range limit (the maximum distance that the two-way radios can travel), more and more noise and faltering or disappearing sentences are noticed. Recognizable from the car radio entering the tunnel. (Nowadays this is better due to digital radios, among others)

4G walkie-talkie

We leave the 4G walkie-talkie out of this comparison. The network is based on 4G per SIM card or WiFi and cannot be compared with our analog or digital walkie-talkies. The sound is therefore of inimitable level. Crystal clear and 'unlimited' range. With 'digital' as a description, the technology touches 4G of course. Look here for more 4G walkie-talkies.

A digital walkie-talkie

Looking for the benefits of a digital walkie-talkie can only be done by looking at the disadvantages of other techniques. When we compare with analog communication and 4G radios, we notice a number of things.

We recognize analogous by direct communication, without delay, but with more noise and faltering sentences if the range limit is insight. (In short, good for the crane operator, for example, the dormer window sinks into place and not into the roof gutter) We also notice the difference during daily communication. We can say that analog communication sends 'everything in terms of sound and background noise' from A to B.

A digital radio has a clear sound when transmitting from A to B. The advantage of a digital radio is the sound quality. When the distance increases and the range limit becomes clear, the audio quality remains the same. In which background noises and noise are filtered out. To use this filter, something technically happens to the voice message. Simply put, walkie-talkie A picks up the call to filter it, sends this audio file out to B. It takes a few milliseconds. (Indeed an eye blink)

Technically, this is one of the most important practical benefits. A good message without machine or other unwanted noise during communication. In addition to sound, a digital walkie-talkie can do much more. For example, we also use this digital walkie-talkie for single-work security with an emergency button and mandown alarms, we receive messages from machine failures or fire panels, the emergency response reports or only communication with other walkie-talkies.

We can also use the digital walkie-talkie to control entrance gates with the shortcut keys. A radio network uses repeaters to increase the range. These repeaters communicate with the radio fleet, which approximately doubles the distance of the radio. With a digital radio you can connect a repeater over IP to a second location. This second location can be local (same building) or regional (different building or city). This turns your digital radio into a multifunctional tool. The digital walkie-talkie can now be used at both locations. You can also communicate from location A to B with 1 push of a button. Both individually and in group conversations.

Benefits:

• Good audio quality
Lone work security integrated
• Local and regional reach
• Receiving and sending messages
• Use of GPS
• Controlling contacts (such as a gate for example)
• Wide range of accessories
• Simple and versatile

Conclusion

A digital walkie-talkie always has the same purpose as any other walkie-talkie. However, the environment and purpose of communication is decisive for a good user experience. The basic functionality of a digital radio is the PTT button. Push To Talk.

We see advantages of a digital walkie-talkie mainly in the audio quality and additional options. Adding the purpose: Multifunctional communication tool. By removing disturbing background noise, a strong audio improvement entails. By giving the walkie-talkie more functions, we remove additional equipment. This saves money, but also weight and mobility during daily work. What you ultimately use a walkie-talkie for. Communicate efficiently, securely during daily work. By listing all these options, we may have given you new insight. If you are not looking for all these options, a digital walkie-talkie is also easy to use.
