Hospitals

The need for instant communications is at the heart of wireless requirements in the hospital environment. The emergency nature of hospital work requires radios that are lightweight, but operate within military specifications. Radios are more convenient and reliable than trying to access the radio user by phone or pager. Each department will have its own channel and will have the capability of contacting other departments by switching channels on his/her radio. Multi-channel radios are essential when privacy is needed. Comfort in communication can be achieved with accessories such as a speaker/microphone. This allows the radio to be worn on the belt with the microphone attached to the shirt and communicate by pushing a button on the side of the microphone.

Repeaters

Radios alone cannot do all the work; the need for a Repeater system to achieve maximum signal penetration may be required. Hospitals have large amounts of concrete and metal, which can “soak up” a signal and make communication between radios haphazard. A Base-Station radio can be installed in a fixed location to facilitate communicating between portable radios and Repeater. Most hospitals utilize Repeater systems to provide adequate coverage between the different departments.

 

Casino

Casinos have special communication needs. Advanced Communications will come out to your location to diagnose any system challenges. Every casino has different needs due to the size, landscape, building structure, and departments in need of communications. Large casinos have installed multiple repeater systems in order to meet the demanding communication that is needed on a daily basis. Below are some suggestions for casinos or entertainment centers that are considering a repeater system.

What should you know when deciding on a Communication System? The best way to start is to evaluate three issues.

1) Plan where your Casino will be in five years; more on-site growth, more buildings, more employees?

2) Have one contact person and assistant that knows two-way radios and communications systems. They should be responsible for managing the equipment.

3) Make sure casino employees are trained properly on the features of the radios. This includes the proper operation of audio accessories including ear and speaker microphones.

We offer FREE training to employees and managers. It is important to maintain radios and make sure they are in good working condition, and it all starts with employees. We recommend a daily check-in to stay “on top” of any concerns. Portable radios may be programmed with many talk channels in order to communicate between departments or individuals. Employees can switch channels to contact different departments and the radios can be programmed on with the departments they need to talk to.

 

Manufacturing

The communication of radios in the manufacturing environment is essential to the productivity of the business. Operators, employees, and supervisors need to keep in close contact to avoid potential hazards. Often manufacturing can expose radios to harsh chemicals or processing materials. Therefore, it is very important to purchase a radio that can stand up to these conditions. Another problem that the manufacturing environment imposes is noise. With heavy equipment it is sometimes hard to communicate effectively. We offer many options to solve this problem.

Success in this industry depends on two things: efficiency and responsiveness. Bar code scanners allow you to manage inventory accurately and cost effectively. Clear communication, often in noisy environments, is essential to avoid downtime and to enable the fastest response to production problems or injuries. Advanced Communications has the know-how to provide your team the system and tools to keep your manufacturing or warehouse facility running at an optimum level.

Manufacturers have discovered the benefits of two-way radios for effective, affordable on-site communications. With improvements in technology, two-way radios today provide significantly better voice quality, durability, and features than radios in years past.

Repeaters

Depending on how big a warehouse or your facility is, you may need to install a repeater system. Steel and concrete can “soak up” a signal and make communication between radios poor. A repeater system will alleviate some of the signal penetration problems that may arise.

 

Golf

Two-way radios are an essential part of any golf course. They provide communication for maintenance and management. When purchasing radios, you need to consider distance of communication, the environment the radios will be used (such as in rain, cold, or hot weather), and also how many channels will be needed, based on how many departments need to communicate. Extra batteries, attachments for discreet (private) communication, holsters and/or hard leather cases are accessories that will make the radio more comfortable to use and carry.

Call boxes are a great way to increase efficiency on the golf course. Call boxes are easily integrated into an existing two-way system and allow clear voice communication along with location identifiers to golf course personnel. Whether it’s requesting services or alerting maintenance workers of an emergency, your customers will have no quicker communication with golf course staff than with a call box.

Repeater Systems

Most large golf courses need repeater systems to give them the full coverage necessary for proper communications. Rough or extended terrain inhibits coverage even with the most powerful radios; consequently a repeater system may be needed to provide a wider area of coverage.

 

Hospitality

Radios are used continuously in the hotel-motel enterprise. They are needed in different departments: Front Desk, Maintenance, Housekeeping, Food Distribution, Groundskeeping, Valet Parking and Security. Multiple radios will be needed to accommodate their needs. These radios can be used with attachments, including audio earpieces to keep conversations private, extra batteries, fast battery chargers, and carrying cases. Security departments will make the most use of these options.

Repeater System

Larger hotels will require coverage area that cannot be fulfilled with radios alone. A repeater system may be needed to extend coverage to floors and basements for a particular department. Multiple repeaters may be needed for other departments with coverage issues. The basement of most hotels is the hardest to cover from higher floors and repeaters are used on a daily basis to provide communication. Basement to top floor coverage in a high-rise environment may also require system configuration.

In-Building Signal Boosters

Have you ever walked into a building and noticed you have “no bars” on your cell phone? Unfortunately, the same rules of physics apply for all types of radio frequency (RF) communication. Many cities are writing wireless ordinance codes (similar to sprinkler requirements) in order to guarantee proper communication in buildings for public safety during an emergency. Dense building material such as concrete and metal greatly reduce the ability of RF waves to penetrate throughout a structure. Call Advanced Communications today for a free wireless site survey.
