BHV walkie-talkies have been used for decades for reliable communication over longer distances. Private individuals also use walkie-talkies a lot during holidays and recreation.

Professional BHV walkie-talkies with a permit are often used in sectors such as security, industry and emergency services. Within this segment we distinguish between analog en digital walkie-talkies.
Analogue radios are affordable and have a range of 5 to 10 km in open field. However, they have a lower sound quality and are susceptible to eavesdropping. Digital radios offer about 25% more range and always deliver clear speech. They enable advanced features such as GPS location, text messaging and integration with fire alarm panels via ESPA 4.4.4. Due to these advantages, digital radios are gaining ground and analogue models are gradually being phased out.
When choosing emergency response walkie-talkies, the budget often plays a major role. License-free walkie-talkies are then a logical option. However, we advise you to also look at the quality and reliability. License-free walkie-talkies use open frequencies that are also used by other wireless devices — even children's toys. Disruptions during an emergency response exercise, or worse, a real calamity, can then have serious consequences.
Licensed walkie-talkies offer a solution: you receive exclusive frequencies, which ensures interference-free and reliable communication within your emergency response organization.
Are you a BRZO company? Then reliable communication is vital. National Digital Infrastructure Inspectorate advises against the use of license-free walkie-talkies for business-critical applications, such as emergency response communications. Disturbances on the frequency can not only disrupt communication, but also have a direct impact on safety and your business processes.
