Popular radio brands

Like many other products in the UK, it seems that when people are looking for two way radios, they stick with a brand name or product they already know well.

In some cases it is fair to say that customers are looking for additional radios to work with an existing system, but in some cases popular brands specifically sourced and products chosen from only their range. In my experience on of the most well known and popular brands available are Motorola radios.

Motorola Radio Systems

As one of the worlds leading manufacturers of radio systems, Motorola is one of the most popular brands available for purchase in business.

There are 3 key types of radio available that popular brands like this will cover, they are:

Motorola Mobile Radio
Analogue Radios - Using traditional radio technology, analogue radios use radio waves to send voice messages via their receivers. However, analogue signals are prone to bad reception and are effected by interference from large objects that the signal can not be fed through.

Digital Radios - Digital receivers are fast becoming more popular as their reception capability is said to be greater than their analogue brothers. However bad weather (amongst other things) is said to effect satellite signals in some cases.


Mobile Radios - Commonly used by taxi firms, haulage companies and the emergency services, mobile radio systems are installed directly into a vehicle for use by drivers for easy communication to a base station.

Motorola Radio System Accessories

Like some other brands, Motorola also offer a range of accessories for use with their systems, many of which make use of the systems far simpler for their environment. The accessories available include bluetooth wireless adapters, push to talk systems and headsets as well as charging stations, batteries and other essentials.
