Wireless Telephones Help Schools Increase Communications, Decrease Safety Risks
Walkie-talkies or two-way radios are even noisier and more disruptive than traditional phones. They do not provide privacy for the people communicating and are unable to contact anyone outside of the school. In addition, cellular phones incur airtime charges and often have dead zones within school facilities that disrupt communications. They also lack the internal features of wired desktop telephones such as dialing by extension, call transferring and call conferencing.
While the above-mentioned devices provide increased communications, none of the devices provide as complete of a solution as wireless telephones. Already deployed in various districts throughout the nation, wireless telephones are proving to be a successful, cost-effective technology.
