Communicate Better with Two-Way Radio!

Screen Shot 2016-02-01 at 11.39.02 AMAny company determined to grow will hit a point where managing many people requires a simple way to communicate. Many transportation companies, fleets, warehouses, and construction companies will turn to cellphones to meet that need. While cellphones have the reputation for being reliable communication, what you might not know is that a better alternative for half the cost is available.

Two-way radio has always been the overlooked solution for communication. Radio is often thought of as unreliable, unable to reach far distances, and not simple. The truth is cellphones may be characterized by those things more than Two-way radio. Radio communication today is simple, far reaching and very cost effective compared to cellphone contracts. Often seen as a toy rather than a tool, cellphones have been banned behind the wheel of commercial vehicles, given larger screens to play games on rather then communicate, and given extra features that you need to pay for.

On the other hand, Two-Way radios are a tool for productivity and sustainability. Radio communication is simple and built to do one thing very well, communicate! Radios work on specific frequencies that continue to work even when emergencies happen and cellphone towers are down. Two-Way radio has the ability to communicate to multiple people at one time instantly, something cellphones cannot do. And for fleet drivers, two-way Radios are DOT approved to be used behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle.

For any business trying to run as efficiently as possible, the best communication for the lowest cost is ideal. Often company cellphone plans can run $80+ a month per line after fees and data rates. Cellphones get the communication job done for $40 a month or less. Cellphones are fragile and prone to break while Motorola and Kenwood Radios are built to work in the toughest conditions for years! For efficiency, affordability, and value, Two-way radio are the best choice for your growing business!

 

What can a Motorola Dealer do for you?

For the many industries that rely on Two-Way radios to function, having a strong dealer to customer relationship is a key to success! Some of the biggest users of Two Way radios are operators of large fleets of vehicles such as taxis, transportation trucks, ambulances, and tow trucks. With this, having the right people oversee maintenance and around-the-clock service for your radios will keep your organization working!

Motorola & Kenwood, being parent companies, rarely sell directly to customers. The business model they use to satisfy customers with the best service is to allow authorized dealers to distribute the product. An authorized dealer ads a personal touch to selling and gives a face and a name to delivering great customer service for a radio system. Authorized dealers are local and can meet customers needs onsite and with quick turnaround time. Of Motorola dealers and Kenwood dealers in South Florida, Highland Wireless is one of the largest and most established.

What To Know About Radio Rentals In South Florida

co-workers talking at construction site with bulldozer behind themInstead of buying an entire collection of radios for one event, did you know you could rent two-way radios for a fraction of the cost? Many businesses and individuals choose to rent two-way radios instead of buying for a number of reasons. For instance, if you only need radios for a particular event or a certain period of time it is far more cost effective to rent radios as opposed to buying.

How many radios do you need? If you have an entire team of people on the job you may need a large number of systems. This can really start to add up cost wise, especially if you want high quality radios with GPS, Bluetooth or water resistant technologies. Your world of high tech radio options is endless, but that doesn’t mean you have an unlimited amount of money to spend. Radio rentals allow you to afford any quality radio you’d like without spending a large amount of money.

Benefits To Radio Rentals

There are so many benefits to renting two-way radios for commercial, industrial, institutional or personal use. Radios are used as the key form of communication in so many different situations and industries.

  • Radio rentals save you money because you don’t have to purchase all radios and related equipment up front. This is especially beneficial if you only need radios for a one-time event or a short period of time.
  • Renting offers an affordable way to test out two-way radios in the field and see if they work well for your intended purposes before making the investment in your own set.

The benefits of radio rentals include the benefits of two-way radios in general. Without the option to rent, many would have to find alternative ways to communicate. Radio rentals open up this reliable form of communication to so many more industries and applications.

Radio communication is proven to make any event run smoother. For one, two-way radios do not get tied up like cell phone lines, and they also take less time to connect one person to another. Two-way radios do not present the same distractions as cell phones meaning employees, vendors and other event workers are more likely to stay on task and avoid error.

Renting Two-Way Radios For Large Events

In the past we have rented radios to a huge assortment of events, including the Miami International Boat Show and the Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale Easter Service. Both of these events were massive with thousands of people in attendance. Without proper communication these events could have easily turned disastrous, but thanks to two-way radio rentals the events went smoothly, just as planned.

Radio rentals are ideal for large-scale events such as:

  • Concerts
  • Weddings
  • Holiday parties
  • Church or Temple functions (Especially during holidays when crowds are much larger.)

  • Marathon races
  • Large work projects
