When you need direct communication with other teachers, staff or a school resource officer, upgrade your older analog radios to a digital two-way radio network from us. Motorola radios provide instant, reliable communications to specific groups or individuals. When bad things happen, nothing is faster than push-to-talk.

While analog radios offer a high degree of reliability and have been used in schools for decades, today's digital radios combine the reliability of analog with the best aspects of smartphones, so school employees have access to advanced safety features, a continuously expanding library of applications, and tools like text messaging, Bluetooth® connectivity, GPS tracking, and Wi-Fi®.

Motorola Solutions' MOTOTRBO is a complete end-to-end solution. MOTOTRBO's extensive portfolio means you can custom-build your school's complete solution, including radios, infrastructure, systems, accessories, applications and services designed around what you need today and in the future.

MOTOTRBO digital two-way radios unify your staff and fleet with instant, always-available communications, anywhere they go – districtwide. When emergencies arise, from an injured student to an intruder on campus, two-way radios connect staff directly and instantly. Your school is no longer subject to cellular overcrowding during inclement weather or an emergency. It's one of several key advantages of MOTOTRBO radios over cell phones.

Schools have relied on two-way radios for decades. But today, digital technology, like Motorola Solutions' MOTOTRBO two-way radios, is at the cutting edge of instant communications, combining the best features of smartphones with the reliability and power of push-to-talk (PTT). Now, principals, teachers, IT staff, bus drivers, and operations personnel have access to features like text messaging, Bluetooth® connectivity, GPS awareness, and Wi-Fi® connectivity. Plus, MOTOTRBO includes important safety features such as Transmit Interrupt, which prioritizes critical communications, interrupting other calls to be certain that the most important information is heard by all users in an emergency.

The need for campus connectivity and mobility is not limited to students alone. The school staff also require high-speed and dependable internet access to administer online tests, provide e-learning, and deliver multimedia content. Moreover, for campus safety, wireless connectivity is necessary for video surveillance.

If your school or district has problems keeping pace with increasing Wi-Fi performance and security demands, we can help. We are a leading systems integrator specializing in wireless networking and security technologies and can help you build your ideal wireless campus for your current and future needs.

Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Coverage

Distributed Antenna Systems
Your school or district may be challenged when it comes to campus-wide wireless coverage. Students, faculty and staff expect seamless delivery of wireless services no matter where they are. Every building, athletic facility and open area needs to be covered to ensure constant communication and safety. Without a distributed antenna system, that's something schools and districts struggle to provide. Everything on campus stops when connectivity is down.

Active DAS consists of a wide network of antennas that are connected to the base station using fiber, ethernet and coaxial cabling. These antennas collect the signal from the participating carrier network and send it to the base station, where the signals are enhanced and then redistributed to deliver solid wireless coverage throughout an indoor facility or outdoor location for cellular, public safety, WLAN and wireless Internet applications. There are two types of DAS systems – Outdoor DAS (oDAS) and Indoor DAS (iDAS).

Outfitting schools with seamless wireless coverage presents a unique set of challenges. Most campuses are made up of buildings of various ages, shapes, sizes and materials such as brick and steel, which stop the transmission of wireless signals. In addition to building designs, the type of technology utilized, the number of service providers, RF frequency, and capacity needs make every DAS design unique.
