Why Consumer Devices Can’t Keep Up with Business Demands
Consumer phones are convenient—not mission-critical. In retail, warehouses, schools, and healthcare, seconds matter. Missed calls, dead zones, and app crashes slow teams and frustrate customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of a business two-way radio?
Business radios are rated by floors and square footage rather than miles, as they are designed to penetrate concrete and steel. Typical 1-watt radios (like the CLS series) cover up to 200,000 sq. ft. or 15 floors, while 2-watt models (like the R2 or CP100d) can cover up to 300,000 sq. ft. or 30 floors.
Do I need an FCC license for business radios?
It depends on the model. Radios operating on UHF/VHF business frequencies (like the Motorola CLS and R2 series) technically require an FCC license. However, the Motorola DLR and DTR series operate on the 900MHz ISM band and are 100% license-free, requiring no paperwork or fees.
Which radio is best for restaurants and retail?
For hospitality and retail, we recommend the Motorola CLP and CLS series. These are lightweight, discreet, and easy to wear for long shifts. The CLP series specifically features a unique glow ring for status checks and comes with a comfortable earpiece, making it a favorite for dining environments.
Are these radios compatible with my existing fleet?
Likely yes. If you are buying the same model you currently have, they will work out of the box. If you are mixing different models (e.g., adding R2s to a fleet of CP200ds), we can assist with programming to ensure they talk to each other.
