Security are often the ones patrolling a facility in lieu of police — or the ones first on the scene of a facility before calling the police. That’s why having crisp, clear communication amongst security staff is key. Security guards often use walkie talkies on their patrols or beats so they can communicate amongst themselves and to staff of a facility if something goes wrong. Two-way radios are a great way to keep lines of communication open while working.
Our first recommendation for a security team would be the Motorola Wave TLK series, which is a Push to Talk over Cellular Device. One of the only subscription based models we offer, the Wave series of radios is great for security companies who have lots of employees roaming a cityscape. The TLK series — like the TLK100 and the TLK110 — have a monthly cost associated with them. But if you sign up for a 30 month contract, you can lease the equipment instead of purchasing it outright — and you’ll save some money doing so.
For those looking for more onsite communications, we would recommend a high powered Digital/UFH(4-5 watt) UHF — like the Blackbox GO! or the Motorola CP100D Digital, or the Kenwood NX-P1300NUK. Being high powered and digital radio will also reduce dead spots and allow you crisp, clear communication.
