What is a base station anyway?
While two-way radios are portable, a base station stays put! Using a base station from a fixed location, you can communicate with a fleet of portable radios. Asking yourself the following questions might help you figure out if this is the solution for you:
- Are you constantly losing portable two-way radios and having to buy new ones? (It’s okay, you can admit it!)
- Do you feel like you’re always replacing batteries, or picking up two-way radios to find the batteries dead?
- Does your facility have a fixed location—such as a receptionist, a dispatch office, or a foreman’s office— that communicates with many different locations, and always has to be on?
- Do the portable radios assigned to your forklifts go missing or get damaged like our customer Chris in this case study? Operating a forklift or driving around with a portable radio is dangerous and costly. For instance, what might happen if the radio slipped out of the employee’s pocket and under the wheels of the vehicle? With a fixed base station, you never need to worry about losing portable radios for forklifts used by multiple employees, or about a radio slipping out of the base.
If you’ve answered “Yes” to any of those questions, then a base station may be the solution for you!
