If you own or manage a retail outlet or work in event planning, you probably do your best to ensure you’re using the latest technology for efficiency and maximum profit. But did you know that one of the most innovative communication devices you can utilise is nearly a century old?
The mobile two-way radio has been around since its invention in Victoria in 1923, but it’s come a long way since the old military and police-style walkie-talkies of old. Motorola has been one of the pioneers at the forefront of new radio technology, and Motorola two-way radios could help elevate your business to the next level.
As radios have many advantages over cellular phones and public intercoms, two-way radios are ideal for managing events where crowd control and staff communication are essential. Whether you’re running a football tournament or herding guests at a large wedding, a two-way radio can be your best friend.
Likewise, if you work in retail, like Country Road, Coles, Woolworths, or Officeworks, you can save yourself a ton of legwork and hassles by utilising Motorola two-way radios with your team. You can speak with the stockroom, manage the flow of customers during busy days, and communicate important security messages with ease when you have a slim, modern walkie-talkie and headset to hand.
Why two-way radios top mobile phones in many scenarios
You might think that since the invention and widespread use of the mobile phone, two-way radios would be obsolete, but you’d be missing out on a big opportunity to improve business communication. Check out all the advantages of two-way radios when compared to mobile phones:
- Increased durability with heavy-duty housings, little to no screen space, and bigger, hardier buttons that resist wear and tear
- Ability to work when there is no cellular signal, including remote locations, underground, and during emergencies
- Broadcasting capability to multiple employees or coworkers simultaneously, without the loss of privacy experienced with public address systems (using an ear-piece)
- Improved voice clarity, volume range, and overall sound
- Longer battery life
- Easier hands-free options with headsets
- No monthly plan expenses

Tips for getting the most from your Motorola CLP Mini Radio
- Always charge your rechargeable radios when not in use. Encourage everyone to do a battery check before starting work.
- Practise using your two-way radios first before taking them live during a work shift. Make sure everyone understands the “push to talk” concept and that only one person can speak at a time using two-way radios.
- Review common radio etiquette, privacy concerns, and business rules for radio use with employees in advance.
- Encourage users to keep conversations brief and clear. Learn basic radio language, such as “copy,” “over,” “stand by,” and “out.” Get in the habit of repeating vital information to the person sending it so you’re sure you understood it correctly.
