Digital Two-Way Radios vs. Cell Phones

Digital Two-Way
Radios vs. Cell Phones
Just a few of the reasons why digital radios represent the
best investment in today’s fast-moving business environment.
Significantly lower cost of ownership compared to cell phones.
Most two-way radio plans offer one low monthly fee, with unlimited airtime and
no “add-on” charges such as GPS tracking, geofencing and other valuable
management tools. When compared to cell phones, organizations can save 50%
or more on their monthly costs using two-way radios.
Seamless group communications.
Communications with groups of workers (Talk Groups) is operationally effective and
simple with two-way radios. Just push a button! Group communication on cellular
requires multiple calls or setting up a conference call.
Increased Durability.
Durability is an important consideration for many industries, including Energy, Field
Services, Education, Government and Transportation. Motorola two-way radios
are designed to withstand hard use and rugged environments. Cell phones are not
designed for these work environments and are more likely to fail when exposed to
these conditions.
Specific-purpose design to limit driver distractions.
Two-way radio use is not subject to driver distraction laws and is compliant with
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Distracted Driving regulations. Cell
phones with or without push-to-talk features are not compliant.

Quick, reliable communications.
Two-way radio calls require just a single touch of a button, and typically last only
a few seconds. Cell phone calls involve 10-digit dialing, longer connection times
and two-direction conversations, leading to more time spent on the phone and
increased risks of driver distraction. Cellular networks are also subject to dropped
calls and are the first to get congested during a storm or major public event.
More accessories and applications to greatly enhance communications
for many industries.
Powerful features and rich functionality in durable devices which are ideal for
enterprises such as manufacturing, utilities, or transportation. Delivering superb
audio quality, full color display, integrated Bluetooth for audio and data, enhanced
GPS, and text messaging, dependable Motorola radios offer expert applications
customized to your business.
