Two-Way Radios

The terms "walkie-talkie" and "two-way radio" are frequently used interchangeably. Both types of devices are able to transmit and receive a radio signal. These devices are great if you are going places where cell phone transmission is spotty. For instance, if you were to take an electric bike on a trip in the country, a walkie-talkie or set of two-way radios may be the right device for communicating with your traveling partners. If you like to camp or spend a lot of time outdoors with friends and family, these devices may be a good investment.

Two-way radios are also a strong choice for people who work in certain industries, such as construction, event-planning and more.

Now that nearly everyone has a cell phone, why does anyone need a walkie-talkie or two-way radio? The answers may surprise you. First, if you are communicating to large groups who are spread out over great distances, a two-way radio is very advantageous. As stated earlier, if you are working on a construction site or are part of an event-planning crew, two-way radios help everyone stay on the same page. Warehouse workers, security staff and emergency crews can also benefit greatly from two-way radios. Secondly, two-way radios are more reliable in areas where cell phone coverage is sparse. If you are working outdoors with multiple people, two-way radios can help dramatically. Third, two-way radios can deliver exceptional audio quality and don’t require a monthly service fee. To sum up, although two-way radios and walkie-talkies don’t have nearly as many features as a cell phone, these devices serve some unique purposes very well.
