Radio technology has advanced significantly since its humble beginnings in the late 19th century. Today, radios operate in the foreground of various industries from transportation to public safety, construction, security, and more.
But as communication technology has continued to advance, so have the risks that come along with it. The solution, of course, is not to abandon these technologies, but to invest in quality products and services that jump these hurdles. One such example is switching your business’s communication from a public to a private network.
Below, we’ll explain some of the benefits of a private network for push-to-talk walkie talkie systems.
What is a public walkie talkie system?
A public walkie talkie systems use UHF/VHF/FRS/CBRS frequencies for communication. These systems are open, and typically communications can be heard by anyone listening to the frequencies that are being used to talk on.
What is a private network push-to-talk walkie talkie system?
The private push-to-talk network uses the Internet (Voice Over Internet Protocol), and wireless LTE networks, or WiFi for communication. Furthermore, servers connected to the internet running special software ensure the communication happens quickly, like in under a second for each transmission.
The Benefits of Private Network Walkie Talkies Include:
Better coverage area: Public walkie-talkies are limited by range. Private networks leverage existing cellular wireless data infrastructure. Which vastly increases the coverage area.
Easy integration: When an organization relies on a number of devices, integration and interoperability are essential. Private network walkie talkies can allow for easy integration into an interconnected communication network. They can also be linked to other devices, for example, security personnel can receive alerts regarding the status of sensors and entry points.
Network security: One of the biggest disadvantages of public networks is their lack of network security and privacy. While this may not be a problem for some industries, it can result in interruptions, corporate espionage, and safety risks in others. Private network systems have strong information confidentiality ensuring that data and messages don’t leave the organization.
Fast communication: Private broadband networks provide fast speeds allowing for instant communication.
