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.
