You are an event organiser and want to make sure that you can keep in touch with your stewards, marshalls and other key members of your event team.
They probably already have mobile phones, so why would you want to use radios?
There are good reasons to consder asking RAYNET-UK to help with your communciations.
- To call someones mobile you need to, at a bare minimum, press a speed dial button and wait for the call to be connected. Some time can go by between you dialling and the person at the other end answering.
In an emergency this delay could be critical.
RAYNET-UK use radios, they simply press a button and start talking - With a phone you can only talk to one person at a time.
RAYNET-UK can send your message to multiple recipeints at once - You don't need to worry about running out of credit.
RAYNET-UK have unlimited air time to use their radios - Even if mobile phones do work, mobile phone networks can get overloaded when everyone tries to make calls.
RAYNET-UK radios continue to work during major security incidents or natural disasters. - There may be places at your event where some networks have no mobile phone signal.
RAYNET-UK can link their radios by a series of repeaters to ensure full coverage - We have seen organisers handing out cheap walki-talkies to their staff. These radios have limited range plus the staff had no idea how to use them.
When should they talk and when to listen?
RAYNET-UK members are trained in how to pass messages on your behalf, even during a crisis.
