Every business needs to have the right tools in place to be successful. Everything from products and services to staff and ways of working have together to create harmony and happiness - whether that's reflected by profit margins or customer satisfaction. 

And thinking of the latter in more detail, one of the key elements required to achieve customer satisfaction is good internal and external communication between stakeholders. That's why we're here to talk to you about walkie talkie hire, and specifically three industries that commonly benefit from walkie talkie hire. 

Radio hire for live events

The live events industry is one of the most prominent users of two-way radio hire. This  is often due to the fact that they put on events that normally last hours or a couple of days, but have to manage large crowds and vendors during these time periods. 

So, they require and instant and reliable communication solution. One that doesn't rely on a dial tone and can offer group calling and consistent coverage. That's where walkie talkie hire comes into its own. 

Walkie talkies (or two-way radios as we in the business call them) provide instant communication, give organises the ability to have group calls, and nobody will have to worry about losing signal (providing they've chosen the right solution for their surroundings).

And by hiring radios, companies aren't lumbered with equipment they may only a couple of times a year, or making the commitment of purchasing the devices outright. Taking out a radio hire also gives event organisers access to: 

• Flexible contract terms
• Access to the latest technology
• Expert support and services
• No long-term commitment

Radios for construction

The construction industry is another beneficiary of walkie talkie hire. This boils down to the fact that construction work is project led, so they have clear start and end dates. Every project will be different so it's important that workers only use communication devices for the time period necessary. 

Choosing the right device is also vital. All two-way radios offer instant, reliable communication, but some are more rugged than others. With exposure to dust and the need to work outdoors common, construction workers need a communication device that can compete with the elements - and be robust enough if they are repeatedly dropped. 

The Hytera PD705LT Digital Two-Way Radio is a perfect short-term hire solution. It's an affordable device that has an IP67 rating, which is one of the highest levels of protection for withstanding dust and water exposure. 

We have the Hytera PD705 device readily available within our hire fleet of radios, so feel free to get in touch via our contact us page to talk about your next project. 

ATEX radios for hire

The petrochemical industry doesn't just need to have an effective communication, it must have one in place to keep people safe and production lines thriving. Often, COMAH regulated sites will have shutdown projects to complete, making work on-site even more pressurised than it is on a daily basis. 

A lot of companies will start to take two-way communication even more seriously when a shutdown project. We base that on our own experience, as we often get higher demand for ATEX radios when a shutdown is about to start on a site. 

In terms of which ATEX radios are the best, Motorola Solutions lead the way in ATEX two-way radios. The Motorola DP4801Ex Two-Way Radio is an ultra-reliable device that will meet the required standards of being used within potentially explosive or hazardous environments. 

Both have a range of great safety features too - including Lone Worker and Man Down. Safety is priority number one even when the pressure is on to meet the deadlines of a shutdown project. 

We readily have ATEX radios available for hire, so please get in touch via our contact us form if you have a shutdown shift coming up. 

The flexibility of walkie talkie hire

As we've discussed in this blog, walkie talkies (or two-way radios) are not just used in one industry, in fact they can be used in any sector that seems that as the right for two-way communication. We showcase some of the industries we work with on regular basis over on our Who We Help page, so why not take a look?

• Flexible contract terms - so you choose how long you need them for, and we'll never try and tie you down to a contract length you don't want or need

• Expert service support - we'll never leave you short changed when it comes to the support and services we offer whilst you have your hire radios. We'll give you business hours telephone support and reliable engineering advice should you require it.
