Events

Due to the sheer volume of people, staff and individual responsibilities two-way radios (walkie-talkies) are an invaluable asset to any event management team hosting an event or running a venue. Organising, coordinating and planning an event to a tight schedule means that a sufficient network of communication needs to be in place in order to ensure that the event runs smoothly.

Why would event management or venue management require two-way radios

Effective coordination of event staff e.g. logistics control
Participants management, e.g. contestant supervision and event monitoring
Audience and spectator management, e.g. on-site, and to and from the site
On-site security, e.g. behind the scenes, and high profile
Infrastructure management, e.g. automatic notification of equipment failure
Emergency communications, e.g. for fire evacuation marshalling
