Frequently asked questions

Which band version should I order — UHF or VHF?

Business radio band allocation differs by country and depends on the licence you hold. Tell us the destination country and your channel plan, and we will confirm the matching band version before the order is placed.

Do we need a licence to operate it?

In most markets, transmitting on business radio channels requires a licence issued in the name of the operating company. The application is handled locally by the importer or the operator; we provide the technical documentation the application requires.

How far does it talk?

Range is determined by output power, terrain and building structure rather than by the radio alone — open ground reaches considerably further than the inside of a building. For multi-floor or large-site coverage, share your site layout and we will advise on channel planning before you order.

Can it work together with the analog radios we already own?

This is a digital handheld. If you still run analog handsets and need both types working together on one site, tell us at the enquiry stage and we will recommend the configuration that supports mixed digital and analog operation.

Can we order it with our own logo and packaging?

OEM support is available. Send the logo files, packaging requirements and target quantity, and our team will confirm what can be customised on this model.

What are the minimum order quantity and lead time?

Both depend on the band version, programming requirements and quantity, so they are confirmed in the quotation rather than fixed as a number on this page.
