Both public and private education facilities need reliable radio communications with unique challenges to achieving that goal. Most schools are either large facilities that exceed the ability of simplex radios to reliably communicate or they have multiple campuses that have a need to be in communications with each other. Education has a multitude of uses for radio communications which include:
- Administration radios over the entire school district
- Maintenance radios over the entire school district
- Bus transportation with needs for the entire school district and having the ability to communicate over large areas to facilitate interschool district athletic events
- IT radios over the entire school district
- Food service radios over the local campus and sometimes to the food service director who may be at district HQ
- Security radios over the entire school district
- Operations radios over the entire school district
- High school radios over the school campus*
- Middle school radios over the school campus*
- Elementary school radios over the school campus*
- Often the schools want to be able to communicate with other school groups.
These functions can often be accomplished by simplex operation
School radios are used for all the above issues and more. Each district has their unique needs, issues, challenges and requirements. Reliable communications are needed to facilitate school lockdowns, maintenance issues with facilities, new construction, reconstruction, installation of new technology, student transportation, security and more.
All these needs can be accommodated by our Digi-Talk network to provide reliable on site communications within the district and reliable wide area communications over Southern California. Often school district personnel would benefit from being able to take their radio home to facilitate communications with other personnel who are on the job working. This is easily accomplished with Diga-Talk while it could be difficult to impossible to accomplish with any network that could be purchased and installed by a school district.
