Radio Repeaters

What are the benefits and options for two-way radio repeaters?

There are two main types of radio repeaters: analogue and digital. analogue repeaters are less expensive and simpler to install but offer lower audio quality and shorter battery life than digital repeaters. Digital repeaters provide higher audio quality, longer battery life, and increased coverage range. However, they are more expensive and require more complex installation.

The best type of radio repeater for your business will depend on your specific needs and budget. An analogue repeater may be a good option for a cost-effective solution with simple installation. However, a digital repeater is better if you need the best possible audio quality and coverage range.

Increased Communication Range:

Radio repeaters can extend the range of two-way radios by up to 50%, allowing employees to communicate even when they are out of range of each other’s radios. Check Ofcom’s radio licencing guidelines.

Improved Audio Quality:

Digital repeaters offer higher audio quality than analogue repeaters, making it easier for employees to communicate with each other.

Longer Battery Life:

Digital repeaters can help extend two-way radios’ battery life, as they do not require as much power to transmit signals.

Increased Security:

Radio repeaters can help to improve security by making it more difficult for unauthorised users to listen in on conversations.
