Developments in modern technology have brought about the rise of digital two-way radios. Although analog two-way radios are still commonly in use today, digital radios afford so many new opportunities to their users. If you’re wondering whether or not you should make the switch to digital, here are 5 reasons why this transition could be the right move.  

Two-way radios are both highly beneficial and necessary components of school communications for a variety of reasons. Equipping staff with two-way radios makes schools more organized, more efficient, more prepared in an emergency, and thus, more safe. It’s no wonder grants for two-way radios are becoming increasingly available to schools throughout the country.

If you have been using two-way radio technology for some time, you will not be surprised by their extensive functionality and that in many applications they are the preferred and/or required communications technology. However, for those newer to communications scenarios where rugged devices, instant, reliable and group communications are required, some of the areas mentioned in this post will likely be surprising. What are the benefits of two-way radios? Here are 8 things you might not know about  two-way radio technology.

A Team Effort for the Hoke County Sheriff's Department

Recently the Hoke County Sheriff's Department decided to upgrade their mobile two-way radios for use with the Statewide VIPER Communication System and we were glad to be their choice for help with this project.

The VIPER system is a new communications tool that was built to improve interoperablility between Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue on a statewide level. It is an expansion of a existing Motorola system, but does require upgrades to current two-way radio and dispatching equipment for agencies to use it. 

The Hoke County Sheriff's Department realized the potential for improved response time, safety and wide-spread communications with VIPER, but the upgrade process can be daunting, and that is right where Amerizon Wireless came it!

Stanly County Sheriff's Radio Installation Project

The Stanly County Sheriff Department recently purchased new mobile radios for their police vehicles. These radios then needed to be installed, and that couldn't happen while the vehicles were still on patrol. 

That meant taking police vehicles off the streets so that these necessary upgrades could be made. This vehicle installation project had to be done quickly and with precise organization, and that is where our experienced Service Department came into play; more specifically, Mr. Scottie Honeycutt, who took point on this project.
