How to choose the best walkie-talkie for trade and logistics
The definitive guide to choose the model that best suits your business.
Why is the walkie still indispensable in logistics?
Although today there are smartphones and messaging apps, immediate, reliable and "hands-free" communication is essential in a warehouse environment with noise, dust, metal shelves and moving vehicles. A good walkie avoids unnecessary waiting and travel, improves safety and does NOT generate monthly fees.
Key criteria before buying
- Actual coverage on the vessel (power, signal penetration and antenna type).
- Ruggedness: IP protection against dust/water.
- Full shift autonomy and multiple charger options.
- Audio quality with ambient noise reduction.
- Ease of use with large buttons and PTT accessible with gloves.
- Privacy: CTCSS/DCS subtones or digital encryption.
- Compatibility of accessories (earphones, cases, chargers...).
- Network type: analog PMR-446 (free) vs. digital DMR (better coverage and advanced features, but usually licensed).
