Children of all ages are sent for their education to schools and thus they spend a lot of time inside the School campus. The safety and security of these kids should thus be the highest priority for the institutions, which in all ways is responsible for their safety inside the campus. Communication and co –ordination between the various staff and teachers is thus very imperative.
It is impossible to personally send or receive messages, especially when the school is big and covers many buildings or dormitories. At the same time fixing a telephone in each block or even in each class is time and cost consuming task.
Moreover, there is no surety that the lines will always work. The best form of communication in terms of time and cost is the Walkie talkie. Walkie talkies are hand held radio receiver, which can be carried by all within the vicinity of the school campus.
To help you decide what type of two way radio would be suitable for your school you have to take into consideration the distances involved as to which radio can be used. If the campus is not too large, then any license free radio will do, i.e., Kenwood TK-3201, Motorola XTNi (business type license free) or the smaller, cheaper “consumer” radios, such as Motorola XTR446, TLKR T3 or TLKR T7.
Normally we would advise the Kenwood TK-3201 or XTNi as these are very robust.
Alternatively, if the area is larger the school would need to obtain a radio license. Then it would be any number of radios, Motorola CP040, Motorola GP340, Motorola GP344 and so on.
