Usage Of Walkie Talkies In Military}

Submitted by: Papia Fernandas

Military encompasses the armed forces of the country including the army, navy, air force and other fighting forces of the country. The primary reason for the existence of the military is to engage in a combat when necessary to protect the country and its citizens. Due to this, the military forces are usually stationed at remote locations, protecting borders and being constantly prepared for a deadly combat.

During combat, communication between the soldiers and officers is very important. Orders need to given to the fighters in the field and important decisions need to be taken in seconds. Walkie talkies become an integral part of a soldiers work gear these times.

Why not a cell/mobile phone?

This is one question most of us would have thought of by now. There are few reasons why a mobile phone cannot be used for communication in the military.

1. Mobile phones require a signal tower for it to work. When stationed in places without network, a fighter gets stranded without any means of communicating to the other end

2. Mobile phones can be hacked easily and hence important information can be leaked

3. It takes a lot of time to connect to a particular number and wait for it to be answered. Most times our soldiers do not have the luxury of such time lapse

4. Walkie talkie takes just the push of a button to communicate

Features of a good walkie talkie for military usage

Military use walkie talkies need to be the best kind that is available and few walkie talkies come with additional features that will help a soldier in need.

1. Battery life

This is probably one of the most important features in need. A soldier during combat moves with no idea of how long it is going to take before finding a chance to charge/replace the battery. As the battery life reduces, the clarity of signals received also decreases. Hence it is important to choose the one with a long standing battery life. Few products like the TalkPRO offer a battery life of up to 48 hours.

2. Range

This is also a very important factor to consider when investing on a walkie talkie. Based on the power of a walkie talkie, its range of communicative distance varies.

3. Additional features

Since the military use walkie talkies are going to face extremely harsh conditions, they need to be strong and sturdy. For instance, TalkPRO H350 Plus is a military standard walkie talkie that is water proof, dust proof, bullet proof and comes with an emergency transmit to all radios, long life Li-poly battery, wire clone, lone worker alarm 5 tone signaling and a siren. They have been tested for quality by dropping them from a height of 30 feet and putting them in between the tires of a fully loaded truck. These walkie talkies also come with a Xenon 15 ft beam torchlight. This will be a boon to fighters moving in the dark.

The military requires the best that is available. Not a lot of us have the nerves to endure the physical and mental stress of a military person in action. Walkie talkies these days are constantly evolving. With better features, newer technologies and easy handling, they make the lives of our brave soldiers a little bit easier.
