Different business scenarios have different requirements for communication distance. If it is in a small supermarket, restaurant or other small place, a communication distance of 2-3 kilometers can basically meet the needs, and civil or low-power walkie-talkies can do the job. But if it is in a large logistics park or construction site, the range may reach 3-10 kilometers or even farther. At this time, a professional-level walkie-talkie is needed to ensure stable signals and smooth communication.
1.Make Sure what you need
Usage environment: "Survival rules" of walkie-talkies in complex environments
Differences in usage environments will also greatly affect the performance of walkie-talkies. Indoors, the signal may be interfered by the structure of the building; outdoors, it must withstand wind, sun and rain; in noisy factory workshops, clear voice transmission is required; in flammable and explosive chemical sites, walkie-talkies must have explosion-proof functions. Therefore, it is critical to choose walkie-talkies with corresponding protection levels and performance according to the actual use environment. For example, walkie-talkies with high waterproof and dustproof levels are more suitable for outdoor operations, while explosion-proof walkie-talkies are a must-have in the chemical industry.
Functional requirements: Which functions are your "just needs"?
Different work scenarios require different functional support. If the team collaborates frequently, the group call function allows you to notify everyone with one click; in some industries with high requirements for information confidentiality, the voice encryption function is particularly important; the scanning and monitoring function helps to keep abreast of the surrounding communication dynamics. When selecting, you should combine the actual needs of your own work to judge which functions are really needed and avoid blindly pursuing too many unnecessary functions.
2.The Parameters
Transmitting power: The greater the power, the farther the call?
Transmitting power is one of the important factors affecting the call distance of the walkie-talkie. Generally speaking, the greater the power, the farther the signal propagates, but this does not mean that the greater the power, the better. Excessive power will not only increase battery power consumption and shorten battery life, but may also generate unnecessary electromagnetic interference. In my country, the transmission power of civilian walkie-talkies is generally limited to 0.5W, and the power of professional walkie-talkies is usually 3-5W. When choosing, you should choose the power reasonably according to the actual communication distance requirements.
Frequency range: Choose the right frequency band, communication is unimpeded
The frequency range of the walkie-talkie determines its communication coverage and anti-interference ability. The commonly used walkie-talkie frequency bands in my country are VHF and UHF. The VHF band is suitable for use in open spaces, with a long signal propagation distance, but weak diffraction ability; the UHF band is more suitable for use in complex environments such as cities, with strong diffraction ability and good signal stability. Different industries may be assigned different frequency bands. When choosing a walkie-talkie, make sure that its frequency range complies with industry regulations and actual usage scenarios.
Battery life: battery life affects work efficiency
Battery life is crucial for commercial scenarios where walkie-talkies need to be used for a long time. The main types of batteries for walkie-talkies are nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries, etc. Lithium batteries have the advantages of light weight, large capacity, and short charging time, and are gradually becoming mainstream. At the same time, some walkie-talkies also have power-saving functions, which automatically reduce power when not in use to extend battery life. When choosing a walkie-talkie, pay attention to battery capacity and battery life, as well as whether there is a convenient charging method.
What are the advantages of BelFone commercial two-way radios? BelFone provides users with a variety of walkie-talkie products for different commercial scenarios. For example, the BF-308/BF-312 analog radio is easy to operate and affordable, suitable for small business users with limited budgets; the BF-TD505 and OG308 commercial digital radio has the characteristics of clear digital voice and strong anti-interference ability, which can effectively improve communication efficiency and meet the needs of mid-to-high-end business users; the CM625s 4G full network public network machine breaks through the distance limitation of traditional intercoms. As long as there is network coverage, long-distance communication can be achieved, which is particularly suitable for large-scale cross-regional commercial activities.
Actual application cases:
In Qinghai Zhongfayuan Times Square, BelFone walkie-talkie helps various departments of the mall to achieve efficient communication and collaboration. From customer service staff to security teams, from operations departments to logistics support, through the radio from BelFone, information can be quickly transmitted, various emergencies can be solved in time, and the overall operation efficiency and service quality of the mall can be improved. In the port transportation scene, with its stable signal and clear voice, allows smooth communication between dispatchers and loading and unloading workers, greatly improving the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading.
In short, choosing a suitable commercial radio requires comprehensive consideration of many factors. I hope that through today's introduction, I can help you avoid detours when purchasing walkie-talkies, find the one that best suits your business needs, make communication more efficient, and help business activities go smoothly.
