One question that Impact\u2019s sales reps hear frequently is why should an organization choose to use two way radios instead of cell phones<\/strong><\/em>. Cell phones are definitely a great option for keeping teams connected, especially when there\u2019s a large distance between team members, but for those teams where distance isn\u2019t an issue, it\u2019s tough to beat the benefits of a two-way radio system. Below are 4 reasons to consider a two-way radio solution for your organization instead of cell phones:<\/strong><\/p>\n With cell phones, you are constrained to one-to-one communication. To get your message across to all those that need to hear it, you need to call each team member individually. When you have a large team this can be a time-consuming task. Two-way radio systems allow you to broadcast your message to your entire team simultaneously.<\/em> In situations where timely information distribution is critical, you can\u2019t beat two-way radios.<\/p>\n Cell phones are vulnerable to dropped calls, poor reception areas, and dead zones. When dealing with an emergency situation, clear and reliable communication is mandatory. Two-way radios are engineered for strong reception in variable environments ensuring that your message can be delivered loud and clear.<\/em><\/p>\n In high use environments, cell phone batteries are quickly depleted resulting in a lot of time seeing the cell phone tethered to a charger. Two-way radios have a significantly longer charge storage time<\/em> ensuring that your radio is ready when you need it.<\/p>\n Though the upfront set up costs for an organizations two-way radio solution can be higher than that of cell phones, the long-term ongoing costs are significantly lower. Unlike cell phones which require a monthly plan for each phone, two-way radios do not require an expensive subscription to operate<\/em>. As well, two-way radio hardware tends to have a much longer life span compared to cell phones.<\/p>\n There are a number of other reasons to use two-way radios over cell phones, but the 4 points mentioned enough should be enough to build a strong use case for most organizations.
