Two way radio and walkie talkie systems for schools

What two way radio is best for Education?

There are a number of benefits to using two-way radios within schools and on college or university campuses. These reliable communication devices allow you to stay connected to your staff and reach out to them instantly. 

When choosing the best two-way radios for schools there are a number of things to consider. The size of the school or campus may require a certain type of two-way radio. Larger sites will need more powerful two-way radios to make sure members of staff can always be contacted.

A two-way radio with a long battery life is essential for teachers and other members of school staff. This allows the radio to be carried around for long periods of time before needing to be recharged. Radios can be assigned their own specific caller ID to allow for private conversations between units.
