Radios work in some areas but fail across floors, basements or zones? Tell us your site — get repeater, PoC, or "you don't need infrastructure" with a survey-first plan.
Map your coverage
You need a repeater when radios lose each other across distance, floors or zones.
Before buying more handsets, check whether the problem is coverage design, building obstruction, channel congestion, battery condition or user workflow.
The exact weak points
Basement, lift lobby, stairwell, back-of-house corridor, loading bay, perimeter gate or rooftop plant room — pin them all.
During real hours
Machinery, crowd density and vehicle movement change radio performance. Test at the busiest, noisiest time — not a quiet morning.
Range vs discipline
Wrong channels, low batteries or blocked microphones look like coverage problems but aren't. Rule those out first.
Repeater, PoC radio, or more handsets?
The right answer depends on whether the problem is local site penetration, wide-area mobility, or simply not enough radios.
Improves local site coverage through planned infrastructure and antenna placement. A site survey decides antenna position before install.
Uses cellular data coverage for broad geographic movement — no per-site repeater, no range limit.
The issue may be user count, earpieces, battery rotation or channel planning — not infrastructure.
Supports disciplined communication between operations, security, maintenance and management.
Survey first, choose the path, then test the workflow.
Map groups & zones
- List user groups: security, production, warehouse, maintenance, reception, event control, supervisors, emergency.
- Define must-cover zones before nice-to-have zones.
- Confirm analog compatibility, digital migration, or PoC coverage.
Document & test
- Document channel names and response rules so the system supports the workflow.
- Re-test lifts, stairwells, loading bays, parking and guard posts.
- Confirm emergency and supervisor calls during real shift conditions.
