Talk While Travelling With a Walkie Talkie


Globalization of the world has led to a new search of a vast and an expanding means of communication that can join the world through a single string of communication. Internet acts as one such means of communications. But in search of this single medium for communication, one important factor that becomes very important is the local communication. For local events and emergencies we cannot rely on the internet or other such sources. For these we require fast and swift messaging services such as the walkie talkies which most of the emergency fighting departments such as the police, fire or ambulances have. These radios make use of 2 way radio systems to transmit messages to different radios on a fixed frequency that is allotted to it.

Walkie talkies gives a better proficiency when you are mobile or going somewhere. Most of the police departments of the world make use of these radios to get updates on any criminal activity or calamity or emergencies that may have arose in the nearby areas. The other type of radio is the stationery radios which again make use of the radio systems for transmission of messages but they are stationery at one place such as the police control room. These are available in various features so one can obtain the radio that fits their preferences. Various technological advances in the field of communication have made these radios obsolete but still they are considered to be the safest and the fastest means of communication by the world and hence it retains its place for fighting emergencies.

Advancement of Radio Technologies with the TETRA Radio


Radios have been featured a lot in the past but off late people have started moving towards more advanced technologies such as the mobile phones and the internet. Even then these radios are being used in the defence and safety departments of various countries. The technological advancements have also been made in the radio technologies and people have started to move from the DMR radio to the TETRA radio which is the latest in the technology as of now. These radios are further advancements of the trunked radio technology that has been used for the emergency services and at airports and metro train stations throughout the world.

Trunked radio offers you with a solution of minimizing the number of lines that would be required if many people would have wanted to connect at the same time. TETRA radio further advances the same technology and offers the following upgrades:
  • Lowers the cost of infrastructure which would have been more in case these radios were not used.
  • It uses small frequency transmitters and hence the depth of penetration of the signals is greater and hence a larger area is covered in the same amount of signals for which other radios would have required great signal strength.
  • Works well in low signal areas wherein other radios would require installation of repeaters. Hence acts as a cost saver.
  • Transfers and receives data at a comparatively very fast speed as compared to other normal radios.
  • Can receive and transmit encrypted signals at both the user ends.
