Make Radio Communication Easier Using Two Way Radio Accessories
Effective and clear communication is essential in the workplace environment for many industries, and particularly for those companies that work directly with customers or have security and privacy concerns.Two-way radios are often implemented in these workplaces to facilitate and enhance communication, and with good reason – they are light and powerful tools that enable individuals to communicate with one another quickly and directly. But, in many instances, you aren’t getting the full potential from your two-way radio systems if you don’t also have the two-way radio accessories that enhance and tailor their performance to meet your unique needs. An overview of these accessories and their benefits is provided below. These accessories are supported across a wide range of two-way radio models, including but not limited to the following:

Headsets
While two-way radios are generally quite comfortable to hold, sometimes users need to go hands-free, or there may be a challenge in communicating when there are high amounts of ambient noise. Headsets are the perfect solution to overcoming these challenges.
When security and stealth are crucial to the task at hand, Bluetooth earpieces or two-wire surveillance headsets that conceal both wires can be used to ensure a professional look.
At other times – such as when high levels of ambient noise are present – the user simply needs a way to ensure that clear communication is achieved. For these applications, the user can select from one-wire, two-wire surveillance, dual or single muff headsets, or Bluetooth earpieces. The wide variety of selections ensure that no matter what noisy setting you may be in – whether it be a nightclub, an airport, or a race track – you will be able to hear and be heard.
Carry Options
Two-way radio accessories include a variety of convenient carry options that can enhance the radio’s portability and also protect the radio in hazardous environments. These carrying cases often hold additional accessories and may be designed to withstand harsh conditions.
Options include belt clips, leather and nylon cases, shoulder holsters, and chest packs. Carrying cases can make transporting the radio easier while ensuring that your hands are free to work at whatever task is at hand.
Speaker Microphones
As an alternative to a headset, speaker microphones can be attached to your clothing to make it easier to speak and listen while on a two-way radio. They often work well in louder environments, too since the speaker is situated closer to the user’s ear. Additionally, a user can simply talk and listen without having to access the entire radio unit.
This functionality makes it easier to communicate and speeds up the response time between talking and listening. Speaker mics often have push-to-talk buttons with a rotating clip, and some may also feature an audio jack so that it can work in conjunction with an earpiece for maximum functionality.
Charging Solutions
Few things are as frustrating as running out of power when you need it. One of the few drawbacks to using two-way radios is their need to run on batteries. However, with many options for charging and carrying spare batteries, you can ensure you will never run out of juice.
Users can select from a single unit charger, which makes charging easy, or a multiunit charger that can handle six, twelve, or eighteen radios at a time. The multi-unit option is perfect when you have many users; it can charge many batteries at once while only taking up one outlet and a small space on a desktop. Accessory options also include vehicle chargers for when you need to charge up while on the go. This wide variety of charging options can guarantee that you will stay charged up whenever you need to be.
Batteries
While many users consider access to a charger when discussing two-way radio accessories, it’s also a great idea to have extra batteries. Bridge Wireless offers original Motorola high performance batteries which are designed to last up to 60% longer than aftermarket batteries and can charge up to 40% faster. These next generation batteries are built to be as reliable as the radio themselves. Having an extra battery on hand also ensures that you can be charging while also using the radio to communicate. Extra batteries are essential for professions in which communication cannot be lost or it must happen around the clock.
