March 10, 2015Golf courses need a sturdy, dependable radio that’s just as handy for the groundskeepers trimming the greens as it is for the clubhouse staff serving the steaks. For years, the simplest choice for golf course managers was the CP200 portable two-way radio (walkie-talkie) from Motorola Solutions. A workhorse of business communications worldwide, the CP200 offered a basic, easy-to-learn set of controls and industrial-strength construction. As the wave of digital technology washed over the radio industry in recent years, Motorola introduced the CP200d, a digital upgrade of the stalwart CP200. The CP200d is a good match for any business that needs a nothing-fancy, just-get-the-job-done digital radio. Golf courses and other businesses that have significant indoor and outdoor components to their work are an even better fit. That’s because the CP200d has a water- and dust-resistance rating of IP54, which means it’s built to

March 03, 2015Rapid advances in mobile devices and wireless networking technology are changing the communications landscape. Companies can install temporary wireless networks and beam Internet connectivity to every nook and cranny of a designated area. That capability comes in especially handy on construction sites, where two-way radios (walkie-talkies) have long been commonplace. Is there still a need for two-way radios in a time when construction professionals can bring their laptops, tablets and smartphones to work and communicate with colleagues around the world in real time? The answer is an emphatic yes, as long as it's the right radio.
Integrating Digital Two-way Radios into wireless networks
Motorola Solutions designed its MOTOTRBO line of digital two-way radios, repeaters and software to tap these rapid changes in networking technologies. Its XPR6350 and CP200d portable radios leverage the inherent advantages of digital technology, which translates the human voice into packets -
February 10, 2015It’s a fact of life in schools these days: Kids text each other on their smartphones when they should be working on their algebra. But if a school has some kind of serious emergency, those phones suddenly become a lifeline for concerned parents. Tap in one number and they can be reassured their children are safe. That works fine until a whole school’s worth of parents tries to call in at the same time, overwhelming the local cell network. Cellphone shortcomings are one of the key reasons why so many schools rely on two-way radios (walkie-talkies), which operate on assigned frequencies so school staff can talk to each other quickly and easily without colliding with other wireless networks. Radios also have one-to-many capability, so the principal can say the same thing once to the entire school staff. That can’t happen with cellphones.
Economical two-way radios for schools

February 03, 2015Car dealerships cover a lot of ground. New and used cars and trucks along with service bays and the showrooms can sprawl over dozens of acres. It’s not like co-workers are within shouting distance. That’s why two-way radios are such a popular choice for car dealerships. Dealers know exactly how much coverage they need, and they can choose radios designed specifically for their needs. Phones are fine for contacting somebody at a desk, but people working under the hood or parking a new trade-in are not apt to have a phone nearby. For years, the CP200 from Motorola has been a favorite of business owners who need a sturdy analog radio that works well across a broad range of disciplines. Car dealers have sales people, parts desk people, technicians, security guards and maintenance staff. Each one has specialized skills but they share a common need: being able to easily push

September 30, 2014The CP200 two-way radio from Motorola Solutions has been the company’s most popular radio for more than a decade. It’s an economical, industrial-strength portable radio with 16 channels, 4 to 5 watts of power and dust/water resistance. With few bells and whistles, the CP200 is easy to use and requires little training. About the only thing missing is digital capability — and Motorola closed that gap last year by introducing the CP200d, a digital/analog hybrid. The CP200d is identical to the analog model in form factor, with all the buttons and knobs in the same places. All the improvements are inside. If you already

April 23, 2014Security is big business in America, with estimated annual revenues of $350 billion. The federal government alone spends nearly $70 billion a year on homeland security. Despite those big dollar figures, security organizations are always looking for force multipliers, and many turn to wireless technology.Wireless equipment and devices have a long track record as effective force multipliers. They also deliver discretion, mobility, and improved coordination—all key issues for an industry that continues to refine the balance between vigilance and visibility. Meanwhile, the security industry finds itself with a new responsibility: the protection of information. "Security organizations are well known for their ability to provide physical security," said Hugh Johnston, Product & Purchasing Manager at BearCom. "But increasingly, they have become responsible for securing not only those physical locations, but also the information they house. As they do this,

The biggest increases in activity will be in single-family housing, commercial building, and multifamily housing. Getting all that construction work done as efficiently and safely as possible will take top-floor communications capabilities, and that's where two-way radios come in. Two-way radios have long been popular tools on construction sites, and it's easy to see why. The one-to-many communications device makes it possible to alert entire groups of people to situations and facilitate their input on resolutions. Radio communications are immediate, which makes for quicker problem solving. Radios allow workers to be heard in noisy environments, and speaker-microphones keep their hands free
