The value of professional communications in critical situations

April 28, 2025: power outage leaving millions of people without electricity, trains, internet and cell phones. At times like this, walkie-talkies are much more than a tool: they are a guarantee of immediate communication, even when all else fails.

On April 28, 2025, the Iberian Peninsula suffered the most serious power blackout in its history. The sudden outage at 12:33 p.m. left Spain and Portugal without electricity supply due to a loss of 15 gigawatts in five seconds.

This event paralyzed rail transport, affected air traffic and other infrastructures, even shutting down traffic lights. In an instant, normal communications -mobile phones, internet, email- were limited or unusable. For many companies, it was a reminder of how vulnerable we are to failures in basic infrastructure.

In situations like this, having a communications system that is independent of the power grid or the Internet is crucial. And that's where professional radios make the difference.

Why are walkie-talkies so valuable in emergencies like this?

• Immediate communication: The radios allow direct contact, without the need for external infrastructure.
• Independence from mobile networks: They do not depend on the Internet or telephone operators.
• Power autonomy: Most professional walkie-talkies have long-lasting batteries that can last for hours - or even days - in operation.
• Effective organization: In a time of chaos, coordinating teams and operations is vital. Clear communication can make the difference between continuity or paralysis.

Dynascan offers walkie-talkies of all kinds to help logistics, security, transportation, industrial and service companies prepare for scenarios like the one we are living through. Because the question is not if it will happen again, but when.
