Uses of walkie talkies in Industries

Industries are the back bone of any economy. Processing raw materials and converting them into goods is a nonstop process. Big industries work day and night and span over a large area divided into several processes of manufacturing. For industries like these, the employees need to be present at different units and at the same time be in constant touch with each other. Communication becomes a key tool for eliminating mistakes in the process.

Imagine spending money on a phone for each employee throughout the year. The cost payable to the network provider will be huge to the management. A walkie talkie is just a onetime investment. Apart from the occasional charging of batteries, a walkie talkie can be used any number of times throughout the day and is a very easy process as it takes just a press of a button to talk.

Based on which industry the device is used, different functionalities can be added to the walkie talkie. Dust proof, water proof devices are a best choice for a highly volatile industrial environment. There are wireless walkie talkies with a high power torch light for use in a dark environment. These devices are perfect for rough usage. As technology has grown, walkie talkies have become sturdier, stronger, lighter in weight, easier to carry and capable of tuning across several channels within the band.

The communication range is an important factor to be considered while choosing a walkie talkie for industries. A small scale industry that stretches over a few floors and a couple of kilometers in radius may use the mid range walkie talkies while very big industries may require the high end ones for reaching out to longer distances. A professional top class walkie talkie in India will reach up to a distance of 6-7 km or about 20-25 floors of a building.
