Special Needs School Upgrades Two-Way Radio Coverage
04/02/2026
In a move that puts student safety and operational efficiency at the forefront, a local special needs school has announced a significant upgrade to its campus-wide communication system.
The school initially relied on license-free (PMR446) radios for staff coordination. However, as the campus grew and the need for more robust safety protocols increased, the limitations of these "out-of-the-box" devices became clear. Signal drop-outs in thick-walled buildings and "dead zones" in the far corners of the school grounds were posing a potential risk to the rapid response times required in a specialised educational environment.
Priority: Student and Staff Safety
To address these challenges, the school partnered with Eemits Communications to transition to a professional-grade solution. The school has now deployed a fleet of Hytera PD405 licensed digital radios.
Unlike the previous license-free models, the PD405 provides:
Superior Range: Increased power output to penetrate buildings and cover the entire school acreage.
Crystal Clear Audio: Digital noise-cancellation technology that ensures instructions are heard even in noisy playgrounds or hallways.
Enhanced Battery Life: Reliable performance that lasts well beyond the school day.
A Smarter Way to Manage Tech
Recognizing that a school’s primary focus should be on education rather than radio maintenance, Eemits Communications guided the school toward a 36-month Managed Service plan.
This comprehensive package allows the school to spread the cost of the upgrade over three years, making the high-end technology accessible within their existing budget. The managed service includes:
OFCOM Licence Management: Eemits handles the legal complexities and renewals of the school's radio frequency licensing.
Preventative Maintenance: An annual on-site coverage check to ensure the system continues to perform at peak levels.
Priority Support: Direct access to technical experts during business hours for troubleshooting and advice.
By moving from an unsecure licence-free model to a fully managed ecosystem, the school has ensured that their safety net remains intact for years to come, allowing teachers to focus on what they do best: supporting their students.
