Fleet planning noteA good production fleet includes a channel sheet, labeled equipment, spare power, and an orderly check-out process.
Film & TV radio system planning
Keep the Set, Base Camp, and Location Team in Sync.
Quiet interiors, changing locations, vehicle moves, and long production days place different demands on a radio fleet. Plan department channels, discreet audio, and charging so the communication setup follows the production.
- Organize department and coordination channels
- Match earpieces to on-set roles
- Review location and base-camp coverage before the shoot

Build your plan around assistant directors, camera teams, production staff, location teams, and transport coordinators, with the right equipment and support for the way they work.
Plan discreet audio
Test comfortable earpieces and push-to-talk controls for the way each person works on set.
Check each location
Review interiors, exterior staging, parking, base camp, and vehicle routes before production begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose radios for film & tv teams?
Start with assistant directors, camera teams, production staff, location teams, and transport coordinators. Use the segments above to explore the existing lineup, then compare the coverage, accessories, and operating setup for each role. Confirm compatibility with any radios you already own before adding equipment.
How should we plan coverage?
Quiet interiors, changing locations, vehicle moves, and long production days place different demands on a radio fleet. Plan department channels, discreet audio, and charging so the communication setup follows the production.
Can one radio fleet cover a moving production?
It depends on the distance between locations and the available infrastructure. Local radios suit a defined operating area; network-based options can help connect separated teams where supported service is available. Review each location and the move schedule first.
Can different radio models work together?
Compatibility depends on the frequency band, operating mode, programming, and radio system. Local business radios and network-based WAVE PTX devices do not automatically communicate with one another. Share your current model numbers so we can review the connection before you purchase.
What information should I include in a quote request?
Include the number of simultaneous users, their roles, your work areas, shift lengths, existing radio models, and any coverage problems. For film & tv teams, also note the operating conditions and accessories each role needs.
