Facilities Management communication
Facilities Management
Two Way Radios for Facilities Management Teams
A facilities team operates across every part of a building. Basement plant rooms, rooftop access, loading docks, car parks, occupied tenancy floors, and service corridors. Mobile phones drop out in half of those zones. Consumer walkie talkies do not have the range or audio quality for a multi-level commercial building. And when a maintenance technician is working alone in a remote part of a large campus, the consequences of a communication gap are serious.
Digicom Wireless supplies two-way radio systems for facilities management operations across Australia. From single commercial buildings to large campus environments and multi-site property portfolios. Our systems are designed around how FM teams actually work, not just how a radio spec sheet reads.
Coverage Across Every Zone of Your Building
Getting radio coverage to work reliably across a large commercial building is not straightforward. Steel-framed structures, reinforced concrete cores, underground car parks, and service areas all create dead zones that standard radio systems struggle with. The same signal that works on Level 10 disappears in the basement plant room.
Digicom Wireless carries out RF coverage assessments for commercial buildings and designs repeater infrastructure or distributed antenna systems (DAS) to resolve coverage gaps before your team encounters them in the field. We have done this across commercial towers, shopping centres, university campuses, and hospital precincts across Australia.
Work Order Dispatch and Job Ticketing
Radios integrated with TRBOnet or Hytera Smart Dispatch allow facilities supervisors to send work orders directly to a technician's radio screen. The technician accepts the job, completes the task, and closes it out from the device. No phone calls, no missed messages, and a full audit trail of what was done, when, and by whom. For FM companies managing service contracts, that data matters.
Lone Worker Safety for Isolated FM Staff
Maintenance technicians working alone in plant rooms, electrical risers, roof access areas, or basement facilities represent a real lone worker risk. Man-down alerting detects when a radio has been tilted or stationary beyond normal parameters and automatically triggers an alert. Lone worker timers prompt the user to confirm they are safe at set intervals. GPS tracking shows exactly where every team member is on-site. These features are standard on Motorola MOTOTRBO mid-range and above.
Body Worn Cameras for Incident Documentation
For FM teams managing high-traffic commercial properties, shopping centres, or mixed-use developments where security and incident response are part of the brief, body worn cameras provide documented evidence of incidents, contractor interactions, and compliance checks. Digicom Wireless supplies the Motorola VB400 body worn camera, which integrates directly with your radio fleet and uploads footage to a centralised platform for review and audit.
Multi-Site and Campus Coverage with WAVE PTX
FM companies managing a portfolio of buildings across a city, or large institutions operating across a campus, face a coverage challenge that a single radio system cannot solve on its own. A maintenance team at one building and a facilities manager at another cannot communicate on a conventional radio. Motorola WAVE PTX delivers push-to-talk over the 4G/5G cellular network, connecting staff across any number of sites on a single system.
WAVE PTX integrates with your on-site radio infrastructure so staff at a building with conventional radios can talk directly to staff on WAVE PTX devices at a different location. GPS tracking gives FM managers real-time visibility of their entire team across all sites from a single dashboard.

Who We Equip in Facilities Management
FM operations involve multiple teams with different communication needs all working across the same building or campus. Here is how we approach each role.
Maintenance and Engineering Teams
Rugged radios with work order dispatch integration, lone worker alerting, GPS tracking, and noise cancellation for plant room and mechanical environments. Full-day battery life for shift coverage without charging breaks.
Building and Facilities Managers
Multi-channel radios with supervisor access and full fleet visibility via TRBOnet dispatch. Managers can monitor team locations, send tasks, and coordinate responses to incidents across the entire building from a single console.
Security and Access Control
Digital encrypted radios with emergency alerting, lone worker features, and body worn camera integration for commercial security teams. Channel separation keeps security communications off general operations channels.
Cleaning and Soft Services Teams
Lightweight, easy-to-use radios for cleaning supervisors and floor staff. Simple enough to require no training. Talk groups per floor or zone so cleaning supervisors can coordinate teams across a large building without congesting the main channels.
Car Park and Loading Dock Operations
Underground car parks and loading docks are among the most consistently problematic areas for radio and cellular coverage in commercial buildings. Digicom's DAS and repeater solutions extend coverage into these zones reliably.
Multi-Site and Portfolio FM Operations
WAVE PTX push-to-talk over cellular connects teams across your entire property portfolio on one system. Pair with on-site radio infrastructure at each building for a complete solution that covers every location without separate radio networks per site.
Coverage gaps, legacy analogue fleets, or a growing portfolio?
