Digital Radio VS Analog Radio- How Digital Is the Future
Analog radio communication has been the standard for businesses for decades. Since its inception in the early twentieth century, analog radio has been widely adopted across the world. But as with all technology, new and improved iterations have come to the forefront. Change is an inevitable part of life, and digital radio frequencies represent the future of business communications. While some businesses still cling to the analog past, digital two-way radio showcases the next generation of communication.
Head to Head Signal Strength
Analog radios utilize sending signals from a large radio tower to the small antenna attached to the top of the handheld unit. The closer you come to the maximum range of your two-way radio, the weaker your signal becomes. It was an accepted downside to analog two-way radios because there wasn’t a viable alternative for companies to switch. However, with the introduction of digital two-way radios, that viable alternative became a reality.
Digital two-way radios differ from the analog forefathers in how they deliver the signal. Analog systems relied on frequency modulation to provide the signal across distances. However, the digital system consists of a packet of information sent across multiple frequencies and reassembled at the receiver. This means that even over greater distances, the digital signal maintains its integrity and results in a cleaner message.
Battery Life
Regardless of the device, having a long-lasting battery is a must. For analog two-way radios, this became an issue. When the transmitter is always on, it begins draining the battery. However, with the digital two-way radios, information is only sent through the transmitter when you want to initiate communication, saving your device's power.
Interconnectivity
Digital two-way radios offer users something that analog radios cannot; WiFi connectivity. In an increasingly interconnected world, having the ability to connect your devices to digital networks and provide your business with more software-driven applications opens up new avenues for your business communications that analog radios could not offer.

What are the Differences Between Walkie-Talkies and Two-Way Radios?
On the surface, walkie talkies and two-way radios look identical. They are portable, can receive and transmit communications easily, and are used by the commercial, private, and civilian sectors equally. Delmarva Communications deals with all kinds of two-way radios, and we can help differentiate between the two. The most notable differences between these seemingly interchangeable terms lie not on the technical side but their uses across different industries.
Not All Two-Way Radios are Walkie-Talkies
All walkie-talkies are two-way radios. They allow their users to walk around and communicate across a specific distance. However, two-way radios are not only limited to walkie-talkies. Two-way radios can be mounted on police cruisers, ambulances, transit trucks, and similar vehicles. These radios are not mobile in the same sense as walkie-talkies, but they perform much of the same functions, such as transmitting and receiving radio signals between two or more points.
Recreational VS. Professional Usage
There is a prevailing thought in popular culture that walkie-talkies are mostly for home and recreational purposes — something you've gotten as a kid of have given to your children. However, walkie-talkies are used across a variety of industries for personal recreational uses. There are low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier options available, so the enduring image that walkie-talkies are simply for recreational use is a misnomer. The two-way radios used in professional and, occasionally. recreational capacities utilize the portable options, as well as mounted units.
Functions and Features
Here is where the two-way radios begin to set themselves apart from portable walkie-talkies. Two-way radios come with a variety of additional features that cannot be found while using portable walkie talkies. Police, medical facilities, large construction sites, and other industries where secure and reliable communication tools are needed for daily operation are the most common beneficiaries. The features of two-way radios include adjustable gain, programmable alarm, Bluetooth compatibility, channel scanning, noise filtering, and a host of other features. The versatility of the mounted two-way radios dwarfs that of the portable walkie-talkies.
