📵 What happens when your team is outside mobile coverage?

And even when mobile coverage is available, is a mobile phone always the best tool for the job?

If your people work in forestry, farming, tourism, haulage, rural areas or across large worksites, it’s worth asking:

❓ Can everyone communicate quickly when they need to?
❓ Can one message reach a whole team at once?
❓ Can a worker easily raise the alarm in an emergency?
❓ Is your communication system helping keep your people safe and productive?

📻 Two-way radio is designed for workplace communication.

It can keep teams connected when mobile coverage can’t be relied upon, but that’s only part of the story.

With instant push-to-talk, group calling, wide-area coverage, emergency functions, GPS and more, today’s radio systems can help teams communicate faster, respond sooner and work more safely and efficiently.

✈️ Look what was spotted hitching a ride home from Christchurch… 👀📻

After doing their job at an event in Christchurch, some of our Rotorua rental radios were packed up and heading home.

By complete coincidence, someone on the ground spotted the Alcom stickers on the case as it was being loaded onto the plane, and knew we’d appreciate a photo! 📸

A fun little reminder of the value of a recognisable brand, even when it turns up somewhere you’re not expecting it.

Not often you get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of your own gear making its way home 👀

Next stop, Rotorua… ready for the next job. 😎

🐾 Flashback Friday – Rocco @ Alcom!

Every workplace needs a good office dog… and Rocco was more than happy to take on the role for the day! 😄

Susie brought Rocco into the office for a visit, and he wasted no time making himself comfortable.

Workshop supervisor? ✔️
Office morale officer? ✔️
Professional cuddler? ✔️
Radio technician? We’re still working on that one! 😂

A great reminder that sometimes the best part of the working day has four legs and a wagging tail. 🐕

📡 Do you need a licence to use a 2-way radio?

Good news, not always! Public Radio Service (PRS) radios like UHF High Band (80 channels), 26MHz (40 channels), Marine and Aviation channels come pre-programmed and are ready to use, licence-free.

But if you want to use VHF/UHF licensed channels, you'll need to either:
✅ Apply for a licence through Radio Spectrum Management (RSM), or
✅ Get permission from the channel owner

Not sure which option is right for you? Alcom is your one-stop shop: we'll help you through the licensing process, sort authorisations, and supply and program your radio equipment.

🤔 Have you ever bought the "best" piece of equipment... only to discover it wasn't the best fit for your business?

‼️ It's more common than you might think.

🤔 When it comes to two-way radio equipment, there's no single brand or model that's right for everyone. The best solution depends on how your team works, where they work and what you need your communications to achieve.

👂 That's why we always start with a conversation, not a catalogue.

🤩 By understanding your business first, we can recommend the equipment and technology that's the right fit for your operation. Because we work with leading brands including Tait, Icom, Hytera, Motorola, GME and Uniden, our focus is on finding the solution that works best for you—not simply selling a particular brand.

✅ The right communication system should make work easier, safer and more efficient.
