With classrooms and students spanning multiple buildings, the importance of wireless integration in schools has never been more evident. It’s important for teachers, bus drivers, administrators, and security personnel to stay connected to ensure better efficiency and safety throughout the day.

As the largest Motorola Solutions dealer in the world, with 75+ locations across North America, BearCom has been a major player in helping schools integrate their wireless communications for decades. Contact us to learn more about how we can help your faculty and staff stay in touch when school is in session.

Wireless Integration Helps Schools Manage a Busy Campus

Whether you’re part of a smaller school or one with thousands of students, ensuring that the school day runs smoothly takes a lot of work and coordination. On any day of the week, faculty and staff need to coordinate:

  • Class schedules
  • Assemblies
  • Recess time
  • Bus schedules
  • Parent pick-up and drop-off
  • Fire drills

By integrating your wireless communications, school employees can stay in contact to help ensure students are where they need to be at all times. For example, if your school is running a fire drill, teachers and staff can use two-way radios to communicate that all their students are out of the building and accounted for.

Integrated Wireless Communications Help Keep Kids Safer

As an educator, you know the responsibility that comes with the role. You want to keep your students safe when they’re at school. Integrating your wireless communications systems can help teachers, administrators, and safety officials be better equipped to monitor and to respond to critical incidents in a timely manner.

We can see the benefits of this in many situations. For instance, if there’s a troubling weather forecast, school personnel can use two-way radios and other devices to help coordinate an action plan or early dismissal. In another situation, security personnel can get the word out about a potential critical event more effectively, with AlwaysOn Alerts. This technology can send unique alerts to any two-way radio system to ensure prompt, audible notification.

How To Integrate Your School’s Wireless Communications

If you have various wireless systems that you’d like to integrate across your school’s campus, BearCom can help you identify the most effective method of doing so. First, you want to make sure that your systems have the reach they need. Schools often have brick, concrete, or cinderblock walls, which can result in numerous dead zones across campus.

Installing Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDAs) and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) can help improve your wireless signal. We offer consultation and evaluations services to help you identify coverage challenges and custom design services that meet crucial safety codes.

Integrate Your Two-Way Radios

There are many devices that you can integrate across your school’s campus to keep all essential personnel connected when they need to be. That includes portable two-way radios that teachers and administrators can have with them at all times.

As the largest Motorola Solutions provider in the world, we can make expert recommendations, like the CP200D. This two-way radio features a compact design that fits on the hip without affecting ease of movement. It’s also durable and able to operate simultaneously in both digital and analog modes.
