Ptt-radio technology is ideally suited for organizations that need to communicate cost-effectively with their personnel in the field or on the road. Offering the advantages of traditional two-way radio systems at the press of a button.
The ease-of-use on these radios as well as the fact that most of the operational changes or requests required by clients from time to time are now done over-the-air, saving clients time and money as the radios do not need to be taken to a radio dealer anymore. Software can be customized to offer clients solutions that meet with their specific needs.
The fact that ptt-radios uses cellular technology to communicate overcomes the distance and range limitations that we have all become so used to over the years while communicating on the VHF and UHF two-way radios. It now makes communication over much greater distances effortless, instant and much more cost effective than using the range limiting repeater systems. If you have used a communal repeater system shared with other radio users, you would know the frustration of waiting for a turn to talk or having someone else talking on your channel. When you use ptt-radio, this is a thing of the past, you do not have to wait for a turn or be concerned that someone else has access to your channel or frequency, because your communication is now private.
These radios do not require of you to apply for a license or a frequency from ICASA, saving you time, frustration and money once again. Ptt-radios can be deployed for use in your business virtually instantly after your purchase, excluding having the batteries charged of course!
