Users just need to press the \u201cPush-To-Talk\u201d (PTT) button and within fraction of a second, this user can immediately talk to convey his\/her messages. This is due to a quick call set-up time imbedded in the technology.

By efficient means that one user can talk to one, five, tens, hundreds, thousands of users at the same time. Users don\u2019t need to repeat the same message over and over again if they need to convey to more than one user. In addition, two-way radio performs the group communication using minimum RF channel resources. If all users reside in the same area, most of the time, you only need one channel resource to talk to these hundreds of users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Two-Way Radio?
