Lone Worker and Man Down Health and Safety Wireless Radios

01/01/1970

One of the problems that affect wireless two-way radios for safety involving lone worker or man down is the range. Typically most licensed radio will cover approximately 8 kilometres or thereabouts or much less for many unlicensed handsets. But there has of recent times been a massive technology improvement that can enable wireless radios (sometimes called walkie talkies) to have virtually limitless range! So if you have employees that travel distance to work on-site, or drivers of trucks for example, then you can now ensure that employees are kept safe. Of course for lone workers these new two-way radios have very specific features that can ensure that the employee is safe. For example there are things like 'monitoring' and 'listening 'modes' that allow you to hear exactly what is going on without the employee having to 'press buttons'. And in the Man Down situation these handsets today can indicate if someone has maybe passed out. The employee has to press a button in a short period of time to ensure they are OK. But its the range on these LTE PoC two-way radios that makes them so different than what many users have ever seen - until now!
