College Campuses Using 2 way radios for Security

College Campuses are increasingly purchasing 2 way radios for campus security, adding a measure of security that emergency call boxes cannot offer. While call boxes are limited by location, Motorola or Vertex Standard 2 way radios can be used by security teams to communicate with police for faster, immediate responses. They are much more reliable and offer more accessibility for students.
One college campus who has extended its use of 2 way radios is the University of Toledo. The University of Toledo has enhanced its safety and security services to include security for its Health Science Campus. They have implemented and extended their Night Watch escort service across campus, offering two-person teams of escorts equipped with 2 way radios that are linked to a police dispatcher. These escorts accompany students safely to any parking lot or campus building. Many students who use the service stay at the library late at night and need a ride back to their residence hall. 2 way radios can alleviate any hindrances to communication including lack of cell phone reception, a frequent issue on college campuses.
The RDU2020 is a popular Motorola 2 way radio that is used for security on college campuses of all sizes. The Motorola RDU2020 can be programmed to work on UHF Frequencies and can be made compatible with your existing equipment.
Pair the Motorola RDU2020 with a Motorola RPU2160 repeater to extend your coverage up to 50%. The Motorola RPU2160 overrides dead spots in the coverage area to provide consistent and reliable communications. It can also be installed outdoors. The Motorola RDU4100, Motorola RDU4160D, Motorola CLP1010, and the Motorola CLP1040 can be paired with the Motorola RPU2160 repeater.
