From retail stores to police officers walking the beat, two-way radios have been a part of the workplace for a long time. While they’ve always been an easy and reliable way to communicate, adding accessories can make things even more streamlined.

As a leading provider of two-way radios, the experts at BearCom are more than qualified to recommend a few accessories that can benefit you and your employees.

Wearable Two-Way Radio Accessories

Whether you’re on a construction site, on the sales floor, or responding to a 911 call, you’ll want to have your radio on you at all times. Fortunately, there are a number of wearable accessories that allow employees to bring their radios with them wherever they go.

Belt clips are always a convenient accessory since they can be attached quickly and don’t cause any discomfort. Radio holsters and cases are another option that provide a more secure attachment. Both options let everyone, from retail workers to first responders, wear their radio while they’re on duty.

Audio Accessories

Sometimes it’s not enough to just have your two-way radio on you. While keeping it attached at the hip or clipped to your jacket is enough for some jobs, sometimes you need to be in communication constantly. Luckily, there’s a variety of audio accessories designed to do just that.

Earphones and earpieces are a simple yet effective way to reach law enforcement, public safety, and first responders during their shifts. Along the same lines, surveillance kits feature more discrete communication for security since they often include transparent earpieces that are harder to see.

On top of wearing earpieces, first responders have long relied on speaker mics. By clipping them to a uniform or lapel, police, fire, and EMS can get back to dispatch or headquarters in seconds.

Plus, there are even accessories that can come in handy on loud job sites. Headsets with padded earphones and microphones are a perfect way to communicate with employees who are operating heavy machinery.

Antennas

If your two-way radio doesn’t seem to have quite enough range, consider replacing its antenna with a longer or more powerful one. For instance, if employees are working on a construction site, a better antenna may allow them to communicate more effectively through concrete walls or other materials. It can also help first responders keep in touch with dispatch from further away.

Charging Stations & Batteries

Today’s two-way radios are designed with a long battery life. Still, it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially for professionals in high-stakes jobs such as oil and gas, utilities, or law enforcement. That’s why it’s always a good idea to have some spare batteries on hand.

Additionally, charging stations are a smart accessory to have back at HQ. Multi-unit chargers like the BearCom BCB95RTRAY let you charge up to six radios at once.
