The benefits of utilising in-car two-way radio technology are numerous, from improving worker safety to maximising the efficiency of your business operations. Whatever your business goals, two-way radios can help you to achieve success in your business.
The top five benefits of installing a two-way radio system in your vehicles include:
Let’s take a look at these important benefits in more detail.
Two-way radios can help you to meet the ever-changing demands of the transport sector. Maintaining a constant stream of communication between the control centre and drivers can enable you to ensure that deadlines are met, increasing the success of your business.
Things can change quickly in the transport industry. From unexpected traffic to accidents and emergencies, maintaining two-way communication between the control centre and drivers can help to increase efficiency and in turn, your profits.
Many people working in the transport industry are lone workers, so their safety needs to be paramount. Two-way radios have the ability to automatically raise an emergency alarm after a defined period of inactivity, as well as being able to automatically send an emergency call should a worker become injured. This helps to ensure the safety of your workers.
In the event of an emergency, locating your worker and their vehicle quickly could make all the difference. A two-way radio with GPS location tracking will enable you to do so, quickly and effectively. Not only that, but in the event of the theft of a vehicle, the presence of a two-way radio could enable the vehicle to be tracked and recovered.
When you are operating in the transport sector, your success depends on the effective communication of the supply chain. If the chain of communication breaks down, you could be heading towards failure. Two-way radios ensure that the channels of communication are kept open so that no one is left in the dark.
Discover the two-way radio options available for the transport sector
Two-way car radios are most commonly used within the transport sector, keeping drivers connected to both each other and their control centre. Businesses that benefit from the use of in-car two-way radios include:
So, you’re thinking about purchasing or hiring a two-way radio system for your transport business, but how do you know which system to choose?
Not every two-way car radio stands up to the same standards, so it’s important to know what to look for when you’re making your choice.
Whatever you hope to achieve with your two-way car radios, you’ll need to ensure that it provides you with reliable coverage, no matter where your drivers are. This will enable you to have instant communication with uninterrupted signal coverage. After all, the last thing that you want in an emergency situation is to find that you don’t have coverage.
When you’re relying on two-way radios to maintain communication, you shouldn’t have to worry about them running out of battery. Look for a system that has a long battery life, so that you don’t have to think about where your next charge is coming from on long journeys.
In the transport sector, location is everything. You need to be in the right place, at the right time. That means that when things go wrong, it’s important to be able to quickly pinpoint staff and vehicles accurately and reliably. Look for a two-way radio system that has GPS capabilities and you’ll never be left wondering about a location again.

If you need to touch the radio in order to use it, you may fall into a grey area of the law. Although a two-way radio is not a mobile phone, if there was reason to believe that the use of the radio was distracting you from driving, you could be given a fixed penalty notice, points on your license or even disqualified from driving.

Walkie-talkies can also be referred to as two-way radios. But what’s the difference between a two-way radio and a Citizen’s Band (CB) radio? The key difference is that a licensed two-way radio is able to operate on a private frequency, meaning that it cannot be listened to or interrupted by other members of the public. In contrast, a CB radio uses publicly available frequencies which means that anyone could tune into your network and overhear your conversations.
When you decide to purchase a two-way radio system for your transport business, you’ll have the choice between a licensed and license-free radio system, so it’s important to know the difference between the two.
As the name suggests, license-free radios do not need a license to operate. They come at a relatively low cost and are easy to set up. However, there are a few disadvantages of license-free radios that you need to be aware of.
Firstly, license-free radios use public frequencies. This means that other users can transmit over the same frequency and could tune in to listen to your conversations. This makes license-free radios unsuitable for use in situations where sensitive data is being transmitted, such as within schools.
Additionally, license-free radios will only work over a small area, typically within a one-mile radius. This means that they are generally unsuitable for use in the transport industry, where long-range communication is often required.
If you are working in the transport sector, it’s best to look for a licensed radio. These radios have a much better range than license-free radios and can be connected to repeaters to further extend their range.
Not only that but licensed radios are programmed to operate on a secure channel, meaning that no one can interrupt or listen to your conversations.
As you may expect, licensed radios require a license from Ofcom. The most basic license costs around £75 for 5 years, so it isn’t particularly costly and is worth it for the extra security and additional range that it provides.
