At Wall to Wall Communications we believe in the positive impact that two way radios can have on an organisation. Two way radios do not just simply allow for fast and easy communication, but through doing so they also enhance efficiency, safety and security of staff and young visitors alike.
When scrolling through Linkedin I came across a post talking about Legacy Croydon Youth Zone and their support from Natwest bank who we have worked alongside for over 40 years.
Legacy Youth Zone is a charitable organisation that provides a safe place for 8 to 19 year olds in London (and up to 25 years for those with disabilities) to socialise and take part in activities including boxing, indoor rock climbing, basketball, dancing, fashion design, music, film. In addition to this Legacy Youth Zone also helps young adults prepare for the future by working on employability skills that will later help them get a job. With a charity that had such a positive impact on the local community and the younger generation functioning on very poor, old radios that did not work, as CEO of Wall to Wall I decided to help.
Wall to Wall Communications reached out to Legacy Youth Zone to donate a total of 16 ICOM 4002 radios FOC to help the staff on site work more efficiently and safely. The staff now use these radios to communicate throughout the facility to help coordinate events and activities during the day. This gives the members of staff working at Legacy the tools to run events more successfully and smoothly, which in turn allows them to assist more young members of the Youth Zone.
In addition to this, ICOM UK donated 16 brand new batteries to make sure the radios worked as best they could with the maximum battery life. To find out more about what ICOM can offer, you can visit their website here or call them on 01227 741741.
We hope that Legacy Youth Zone will benefit from their new two way radios and wish all of the staff and members all the best for the future!

Office Blocks
Most of the businesses which exist in London are run from office blocks. The huge number of businesses in the city mean that many are situated within close proximity. One of the major downsides associated with this is the loss of phone signal which may have a negative effect on the functioning of the business. One of the ways in which this is solved is through two way radio hire. These do not work in the same way as mobile phones and therefore do not have the same limitations.
Our two way radios are the perfect solution to communication issues within a business and office blocks as they provide immediate and digitally clear contact between 2 or more different people or teams at the same time. One of the major ways two way radio is implemented in office blocks is through security, who make use of the multiple features which comes with our radios.

Safety of students
Security and maintenance
Coordination on-campus activities and the management of events and excursions
Schools can be highly saturated areas, which are loud and have a lot of mobile phone signals in small areas. This often means that mobile phone signal is lost or inconsistent. Radios allow for constant communication and do not rely on phone signal. Alongside the talking feature which you would expect from a radio, our radios also include a number of other features which can be extremely effective in dramatic situations.The radios which Wall to Wall Communications provide also run on two channels, which means that in the unlikely event that one of the channels has poor signal then one can simply switch over to the other channel. Many schools use this feature to separate conversations between different members of faculty, allowing staff to only focus on communication which is necessary to them. This is especially useful in larger schools when radio channels can become oversaturated with so many members of staff.
Other features which our radios have include:
Digital Voice Clarity
Man down function
Voice Record
Location Tracking
Each of these features has its own benefits which may make the difference in high pressure moments within the school walls or on the playground.
The key to any company’s success is effective communication, therefore you need a solution which allows you instant and clear communication with all areas of the business, even in crowded areas where phone signal is often lost. In major cities such as Birmingham radio hire has become one of the most effective and popular solutions which companies are using to provide them with effective communication which allows the smooth running of the business.

Office Blocks
With many people situated in a small surface area, office blocks can be one of the most common places for phone signal to be lost. This is when businesses can find issues in their communication, which can have an influence on the smooth running of the enterprise. Many businesses in office blocks are integrating radio hire in their communication strategy to counteract this issue. For example, many of our radios work on multiple frequencies, giving you more than one option when phone signal is lost.
Radio hire also allows for instant and constant communication between different members and teams, ensuring everyone is on the same page and aware of any events or issues which may occur. Office blocks are one of the most common adaptions of radio hire in Birmingham, with radios providing immediate and reliable communication.
Schools
When children are under your care, ensuring their safety and security is the most important aspect of their school life. Radio hire allows members of staff to communicate with one another with ease, while a number of other features which our radios provide can be instrumental in guaranteeing the safety of all staff members and pupils. One of which is the simple vibration feature, which tells staff that they’re being contacted even in crowded and busy areas such as playgrounds and lunch halls. We also offer location tracking, which can make the difference in extreme events, as other members of staff can track where all radios are, along with the people using them. Other features which may be beneficial to schools include:
A two-way radio is now used in a multitude of different industries with great success. One of these industries is education, with radios for schools becoming commonplace up and down the country as communication is paramount and members of staff are able to contact each other with ease to ensure the safety of pupils. Radios (or walkie talkies) are a tool used by schools, colleges and universities to enhance the security of the premises and ensure it continues to run as smoothly as possible. As such an important aspect of school infrastructure, we have outlined this guide to help schools to decide how they should use radios to continue the smooth running of their infrastructure.

Why do you need radios in your school, college or university?
When commotion occurs and events are in need of urgent attention, you need your radio to be your main tool in assessing the situation and in providing support. Sometimes this means communication beyond the transmitting of voices, much like the traditional walkie-talkie, can be useful. Features such as vibration allow you to know if someone is trying to contact you, even in loud areas. This can be extremely beneficial and aids in communication. Some two-way radios, such as the various analog signaling types available on the Hytera PD705, further enhance the communication available between devices. Another common issue in radio is an oversaturation of the signaling channels. Our advances devices feature both analog and digital modes to reduce this issue. In our experience dual modes have been especially useful in larger schools, as different faculties and sections of the school can switch between themselves and communicating with the entire school with ease.
Other features we would recommend:
Digital Voice Clarity
Man down function
Voice Record
Location Tracking
These features can make security much easier in schools and can be the difference you need in your school to enhance security and safety to staff and students alike. For further peace of mind, we also offer additional accessories such as earpieces to allow discrete and clear communication.
Tracking System
Many of our radios include GPS tracking to carry out radio tracking. This allows users to keep track of the location of radios, and therefore those assigned them. This can be extremely beneficial for members of security and allows a faster response in times of emergency.
Applications in Schools and education
Typical applications of our radios in schools:
Protection of staff in both classrooms and outside of the classroom
Safety of students
Security and maintenance
Coordination on-campus activities and the management of events and excursions
Incident reporting
