Hospitals have long been users of radios for one good reason; it solves their logistics issues by allowing personnel to find each other as people move around the property. Most hospitals have enough places for employees to work or hide that it is imperative that there is some way to find them. Radio is THE solution to the challenge.
When configuring a radio system, one must identify the coverage needs before a system is selected. The following questions need to be answered:
If the answer to any of these questions is maybe or yes, then it may make sense to have a system connected to our Diga-talk network. Our network provides excellent coverage at your manufacturing facility by us installing a network node at your facilities. This will facilitate the following:
Unlike cellular devices, it is completely legal to use two-way radios while driving so that you are not subject to fines and liability for use of cellular phones while driving. This allows you to stay in contact with your field personnel, delivery truck fleet or any other personnel who are off site.
Using a cellular phone is not a good solution to the issues presented by the manufacturing industry because of the following:
Radio is the solution to coordinating groups of people that are working on a common project. Keeping the facility running is paramount because when the hospital is not functioning, patients care is delayed, patient health is jeopardized and profits take a nose dive. Many hospitals have switched to digital two-way radio because the digital provides them with significant benefits that cannot be duplicated with analog radios.
Most (but not all) hospitals have a need for more than one talk group. As an example, administration is on one talk group, hospital maintenance on another talk group, IT service is on a third talk group, security on a fourth talk group, etc. These days, security has become a big issue at hospitals due to an epidemic of safety issues. (The hospital must care for the sick and injured while protecting staff, visitors and patients.) When the facility is larger than what can be reliably covered with simplex radios, a repeater would need to be installed for each talk group with conventional radios. This can be cost prohibitive for many reasons and may have significant co-channel interference. We can provide you with your own system that is subject to all the issues of conventional radio, but it will not work as well as having our Diga-Talk network.
In many healthcare facilities, a central dispatch is often required. MRA dba Raycom has many solutions that will significantly enhance your central dispatch. Products such as RadioPro which provides a centralized dispatch, add many key features such as call logging and voice recording and can allow your key personnel to access to your radio system from their cellular phone. Application Focus on Healthcare
All these needs can be accommodated by our Digi-Talk network to provide reliable on site communications within the manufacturing facility and reliable wide area communications over Southern California. Often manufacturing 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 the hospital.

Remember the 3 rules of making money in real estate, Location, Location and Location. The 3 Cs of radio communications are Coverage, Coverage and more Coverage. Our customers demand coverage. Every hospital has their own need for coverage which is never exactly the same as another facility. By providing more coverage in Southern California than any other radio company, we can provide solutions when the others can’t do it. By adding a network site within your facility, we can provide the best of both worlds. Read more…
