According to OurEnergyPolicy.org, almost 15 million people lose power due to weather related issues in the US every year. If the power is out, phones can’t charge, emergency services can’t be contacted, and many people can be left in the dark when it comes to their current scenario—be that weather, emergency services, or the whereabouts of family members.
Luckily, Motorola T800 Talkabout radios are packed with features to help your customers stay in contact during severe weather.
No cell service due to a storm? No problem. The T800 has a weatherproof IPX4 rating and a range of up to 35 miles, so even if the phones are down, they can stay in touch. If their phones are still powered on, they can use the Talkabout app via Bluetooth, which allows them to share their location and send messages—even without cell service. It also boasts NOAA weather channels and alerts, with 22 channels and 121 privacy codes.
The 35-Mile Talkabout T800 2-Way Radio Petra offers comes in a pack of 2, ensuring families have more than 1 radio to rely upon. With Alkaline batteries, these radios have up to 25 hours of battery life to ensure that people can stay in contact long enough to receive the help they need. These radios also come equipped with a flashlight and are weatherproof with an IPX4 rating. What more can I say? These are the ideal 2-way weather radios for almost any situation.
As businesses and operations begin to reopen in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, teams may still need a reliable way to communicate across job sites locally and nationwide. What better way to communicate safely than using 2-way radios with a 35-mile range? Once again, the T800 is an ideal model for safe, socially distant communication.
