Teacher using a walkie-talkie radio in a school

As versatile as the environment in which they are used, walkie-talkies are being increasingly utilised within the education sector.
On school and university campuses, reliable communication for security teams and staff members is of vital importance, yes? 

Radios for Schools and Universities

The requirement for instant contact within departments internally and externally is becoming more and more useful in the sharing of information and enhancing logistical operations enabling teaching, estates and administrative staff alike to fulfill their roles effectively day to day, not just for fire alarms and other facility alerts.

How to choose the best two-way radio for use in a school or a university? 

We've selected our top five handsets based on value, scalability and user experience. We understand that not only should your walkie-talkie be cost effective, but the fleet can be increased and above all be comfortable to wear and use.

Here's our top five recommended radios and business critical communication solutions for school and university teams:

 2. Hytera PD705
