What are the main factors influencing customers in choosing analogue two way radio?

There are sound reasons why customers still like analogue two way radios. We find that many businesses just want a no fuss, simple, straightforward solution. There are also some customers that don’t actually need the noise cancelling technology that the digital will offer. Analogue audio may actually outperform a digital two way radio in some circumstances. With a weak signal a digital radio will have an RSSI threshold and will not receive the transmission, however an analogue radio will work into the noise.

Another thing that gets forgotten is that analogue radios can be as sophisticated as their digital alternative. Most analogue radios have the same functionality such as Man down, encryption and lone worker etc.

Some customers also still require analogue two way radio because the latency in a digital radio could cause a problem in specific industries.
