If you are using a cellular phone, for example, you need to dial a number, wait for a while when the call is being set-up and connected, ring at the other side and finally answered. This process can take a few seconds and during that valuable time, your emergency situation can worsen.<\/p>\n<p>With two-way radio, you just press the PTT button and shout out \u201cemergency\u201d to get attention and immediate help. Of course, this is assuming that RF channels are available. We will discuss later on two-way radio features that can overcome RF channel congestion and give highest priority for emergency users, a feature that\u2019s not available in other wireless technology.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Group communication<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Say\u00a0you need to inform your 5 staff that a meeting has been rescheduled. If you call them one-by-one, it will take some time. With two-way radio, you just select your talk-group and press the PTT button and talk to your 5 staff members at the same time. Now, just imagine if you need to broadcast your message to 1000 staff in the field.<\/p>\n<p>While some wireless systems allow group calling, it typically limits the number of group members that you can talk at one time.\u00a0With two-way radio, you just need to \u201ctalk once and be heard by many\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Not Other Wireless System?
