Clear communication in a hospital can sometimes mean life or death, or just allow a medical facility to function more efficiently. That’s why many hospitals and medical practices choose two-way radios to improve communication. Instead of picking up a phone and dialing a number to maybe reach someone, hospital walkie talkies can be a great way to instantly communicate with staff across a facility. Below are some recommendations we often make to a variety of medical facilities and hospitals.
Our first recommendation would be the Motorola CLP series. These are a small, 1-watt, two-way radio that should be able to cover a single floor facility up to about 200,000 sq ft. Their oval shape design is unique and sleek — and they don’t make it feel like you’re using a two way communication radio. We have a 1 channel version, the CLP1010e, and an 8 channel version, the CLP1080e. The CLP series all come with earpieces in the box, so no need to purchase any extra accessories.
Larger hospitals that need to communicate across multiple floors and buildings may want to look at a more robust radio like the Motorola R2 with a repeater setup to cover anything more than about 500k sq ft.
Or, if you don’t want to pay for the infrastructure of a repeater, the Motorola TLK110 and TLK25 are LTE and Wifi based radios that can cover vast distances. These do cost a monthly fee, but they deliver crisp, clear communication.
Smaller hospitals also like using the Kenwood PKT300 and the Motorola CURVE.
