First of a three-part series. The toughest decisions about two-way radios (walkie-talkies) should be determining which models have the features you need.

It is always important to have a way to communicate efficiently and effectively throughout any part of a facility. To sustain communications in any conditions, many buildings install amplifiers (signal boosters) that strengthen in-building wireless coverage.

In this article, the team at BearCom will review what role the FCC plays in regulating communications and what guidelines you need to consider when deploying in-building wireless solutions
