WiFi Two-Way Radio

When can you use a WiFi transceiver?

WiFi transceivers can be used in a wide range of situations, so it's no wonder they're becoming more and more common. They are much easier to operate and use than traditional walkie-talkies.

Because they use existing infrastructure, their cost of ownership is also significantly lower, and that's not even mentioning the additional services offered by WiFi transceivers. But let's look at the details:

• Use of WiFi transceivers in the office: radio communications in a large office complex, up to tens of thousands of square metres, can often only be achieved using repeaters. Wifi transceivers, on the other hand, are likely to use the building's pre-existing WLAN network and can be deployed immediately. Where WiFi network coverage is available, radio communication is also possible. It makes life much easier for security or maintenance staff, for example.

• Use of WiFi transceivers in logistics centres and warehouses. As in offices, a WiFi transceiver is the simplest solution. These devices have no problems with shielding, which means they can be used in steel or reinforced concrete buildings, for example.

They can also be used in the same way as in warehouses.

• Cost-effective communication between sites using WiFi transceivers: with a VPN, geographical distances are no longer a problem. This is particularly important when it comes to communication between sites in different parts of the country. This would be possible with classic transceivers only at the cost of extra investment or mobile phones.

This is particularly important when communication between different locations is difficult.

• Wifi transceivers are very popular in hotels: with conventional transceivers, you can receive transmissions from one party at a time. WiFi transceivers, on the other hand, allow multiple people to talk to each other on a single channel. This means that different areas in a hotel, such as management, maintenance or reception, can communicate with each other on their own separate channel.

But in a hotel, WiFi allows different areas to communicate with each other on one channel.

What brand of Wifi transceiver to choose?

• Albrecht 2.4 GHz transceivers: these devices allow full duplex communication similar to GSM phones. As mentioned above, Albrecht transceivers allow multiple people to talk on the same channel without having to press any buttons (i.e. both hands are free with one earpiece). A central control panel is not required for a Wifi network system. Typical uses: sports events (communication between referees), security services, concerts, conferences, construction sites.

• Icom IP WiFi transceiver radios: with products from the well-known Japanese manufacturer Icom, you can communicate free of charge regardless of your geographical location, all you need is an existing or newly installed WiFi network. A dispatch software can even localise the radios, and Icom's transceivers can also send short text messages. The system also requires a central control unit. Typical applications.

What features should be included in a Wifi transceiver?

When you want to use your Wifi transceiver in a noisy place, perhaps one of the most important considerations is to ensure that you can hear your colleagues and co-workers crystal clear. To do this, choose a device that has adaptive, dual-microphone noise cancellation technology.

This innovative audio feature monitors background noise and adjusts the speaker volume accordingly. So you'll always hear what your colleagues want to say at the perfect volume. In addition to good sound quality, it's also important to choose a Wifi transceiver that is dustproof and resistant to high-pressure water jets. To do this, buy IP66 and IP68 compliant devices.

If you are working in a hazardous work environment where there is a high chance of damage to the transceivers, make sure you have Wifi transceivers that are resistant to drops or other damage. In places where different people use the same Wifi transceiver almost every shift, regular disinfection and cleaning is necessary. In this case, you will need a device whose casing will remain operational for many years even after regular cleaning and disinfection.

Wifi transceivers can even receive text messages

Some people think that Wifi transceivers are only and exclusively for two-way verbal communication. But this is not the case. Modern transceivers are now able to receive notifications via video. They can even be connected to various sensors, which can be used to monitor the entire plant or warehouse.

But text messages can also be displayed on the transceivers. Of course, you can also prioritise the importance of these messages. Therefore, notifications and messages that are not a priority are put on the back burner so that you can concentrate on your work and its efficiency.
