Have been for decades BHV radios used for communication between people at great distances. In addition, walkie-talkies are frequently used by private individuals for holiday and recreational purposes. These radios are used in the PMR band (446 MHz), no license is required for this band. The maximum transmission power of these radios is 0,5 watts. If the range of the permit-free walkie-talkie is not sufficient, you can use professional walkie-talkies with a license from the National Digital Infrastructure Inspectorate. These walkie-talkies buy of rents you, of course, at Firecom. Firecom also offers the possibility to BHV radios to lease from €19,99 per month.

ERS RADIOS WITH LICENSE

Professional emergency response radios are widely used in security, industry and emergency services. There are roughly two different types of professional radios: Analog and digital. Analogue radios are affordable and have a range of about 5 to 10 km in open field. The downside is that they have a relatively poor voice quality combined with the ability to eavesdrop on them. Digital radios have approx. 25% more range with the same power and the voice quality continues to be of a high level. Digital walkie-talkies offer the user options to exchange voice messages and GPS location. In addition, reports from the fire panel can be sent via ESPA 4.4.4. to be displayed. In recent years, more and more digital radios have been sold instead of analog. The analog radio will be phased out slowly.

CONSIDERATION, PRICE OR QUALITY?

Initially, you will immediately opt for license-free walkie-talkies for price reasons (budget). We would, however, like to explicitly warn you about malfunctions. The license-free frequencies are used for a variety of wireless devices. It could therefore be possible that children with a walkie-talkie will disturb you during a Emergency response exercise. You will understand that this is absolutely undesirable during an actual calamity. The use of a licensed walkie-talkie ensures you can check for malfunctions. You get specific own frequencies for use.
