Security guards in federal buildings need to be able to calmly and purposefully respond to any threat that may arise. These officers are given high level clearance in order to protect federal premises and the facility's employees. The Chicago Tribune report there have been significant recent increases in federal security agents near the city's South Loop region in preparation for the NATO summit in May. Some officers are engaged in digital surveillance using cameras and other devices, while some officers patrol and interact with workers and visitors. Due to the high level of coordination that needs to be performed among a large security staff, Motorola two-way radios should be used by all security staff.

The Motorola EX600XLS two-way radio is a concealable and efficient model for security usage. It features 160 channels, which will simplify specialized communication that needs to occur in high security areas. It has six programmable buttons so staff can have immediate contacts dialed in. The EX600XLS can meet the needs of security professionals.

Two-way radio headsets and speaker microphones can work to make officers' communications more discreet. These accessories will help to keep secure information clear of the public and may help to better mobilize staff in case of an incident.

Front desk attendants at hotels are trained to respond to every guest request with respect and expedience. If a guest asks for a wake-up call in the morning or the Wi-Fi password, front desk workers will immediately oblige. However, requests for a spare toothbrush, razor, extra towels or bath products might require the help of room service or bell hops for delivery. Front desk attendants need to be able to reach other staff members to quickly meet guests' needs and ensure that customers have the best possible experience.

Motorola portable radios can keep hotel staff connected to increase both productivity and efficiency. If a guest calls for something more complicated, such as exchanging an uncomfortable mattress or removing a TV that's too small, staff at the front desk can easily reach individuals in the maintenance department.

The Motorola CP185 is a compact and lightweight radio that hotel staff can conveniently keep with them all day. With VOX-ready hands-free communication, a maintenance member can relay information back to the front desk as they search supply rooms for proper replacements, and then call bell hops for help delivering large items to guests' rooms. Front desk attendants can then follow up by calling maintenance to ensure that the customer was satisfied with the result

Morning news shows like the Today Show and Good Morning America attract large crowds on the street in front of studios. Fans and vacationers line up to sneak a peek into the studio hoping to catch a glimpse of popular hosts and news anchors. Some bring signs with personal messages or wear shirts that say it's their birthday to attract attention from cameramen and crew. 

Security staff has the difficult job of maintaining order to ensure the safety of the cast, staff, attendees and passersby. With fast and effective communication, security guards can make sure the show runs smoothly and that guests have an enjoyable experience.

Hand-held digital two-way radios enable security on the street to receive messages from the studio about when to expect cast members and what times cameras will be filming, so they can take extra precaution.

The Motorola HT1550 is a professional option for security staff to stay connected. Security guards can be sure they're coming through loud and clear with noise-cancelling microphones that block noise from the crowded street. If they're busy escorting a person away from the studio, guards can get right back up to speed with the radio's voice message storage feature.
 

Talk show studios are packed with live audiences, cast members, bands, production staff and on top of that, guests. The timely arrival of guests on the set can make the difference between a flawless episode and a flubbed interview.

Behind the scenes, security and production teams face the challenge of keeping guests and staff safe as well as preparing the set throughout the filming of the episode. Backstage staff must get updates from film crews and production members to prepare guests and get them transitioned to arrive on stage at exactly the right moment.

With real-time communication, staff can help prevent awkward gaps in the show that require the host or cast to improvise with time fillers. Motorola two-way radios provide the mobility and reliability a staff needs to make talk shows appear seamless.

The Motorola HT1550 is a professional option that includes a noise cancellation microphone to filter out background clamor, and call tracking alerts, so users don't have to worry about missing important information when they're calling stage managers to let them know a guest is ready.

Additionally, the Motorola HT1550 is compatible with the Ultralite Headset with Boom Microphone – perfect for the necessary discreet communications on set.

Professional moving companies need to communicate with drivers often to debrief on mileage and make sure they're on schedule. Cross-country drives can be particularly concerning given inclement winter weather, and dispatchers might require more frequent check-ins.

In light of a recent ban by The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materails Safety Administration (PHMSA), interstate commercial truck drivers are prohibited from using hand-held cell phones. In order to avoid facing penalties of up to $2,750 per offense for drivers, and an $11,000 maximum penalty for companies that allow their drivers to use hand-held cell phones, moving companies should invest in Motorola mobile two-way radios as an alternative.

The Motorola XPR4550 is a mobile radio that's a cost-effective way to increase a driver's productivity while ensuring safety. Truck drivers won't need to reach for cell phones or take their attention off the road to dial since the radios have programmable buttons where drivers can store frequently used channels.

The radios can be customized to meet the needs of each company and driver with features such as contacts lists, one touch call and GPS to relay real-time information about their location and how soon they'll reach their destination.
