Best Two Way Radios for K-12 Education
According to Statistics Canada, there are approximately 15,500 schools in Canada in the K-12 education levels. This number is staggering on its own. Now imagine the population of staff and students that are attending these institutions on a weekly basis – and the need to keep each and every one of them safe on those campuses.
This is where Motorola two way radios come in. From playgrounds to classrooms, educators are looking for the best communication tools to help keep their students and staff safe – and now more than ever.
Although summer is not yet over, we are taking a look at what two way radio products are right for your education level – knowing, of course, that these warm months will be over before we know it.

A few things to keep in mind when considering the move to two way radio systems at your school. A digital two way radio system is a one-time cost on your school’s budget, not a recurring monthly fee like cell phone plans. Another benefit? Communication, especially in an emergency, can occur to multiple staff at once – which results in direct action and immediate results.
