How to integrate new radios into your existing radio system:
Integration
At CommUSA, we consult directly with communication professionals to develop plans that integrate new two-way radios with existing radio systems. We make sure your new two-way radios are compatible and supplement your old system. The first step is analyze your current communication situation:
- What improvements do you need in your on-site communication equipment?
- What are the current shortcomings with your existing two-way radio equipment? Coverage, durability or audio clarity?
- What are your immediate and projected radio needs in 3 or 5 years?
- How many departments will need two way radio communication? And will they require their own channel or features?
- Do you plan to hire more employees?
- Will your property expand or change configuration?
- How are your current radios repaired and maintained?
- What is your budget for two-way radio repairs and/or capital expenditures?
Step one: Identify immediate or urgent equipment needs.
Step two: Map out a simple six month to 3 year plan for phasing in equipment and systems. Be sure to include any personnel who will need to be involved in the equipment expansion.
Step three: Develop a service/ equipment timeline and an affordable “phase in” replacement plan with your radio consultant.
Note: This model is simplified and your plan will depend on many factors. However; your goal is the same: to develop the most cost effective way to communicate within your organization.
