Hytera 2 Way Radios: How Two-Way Radio and Bluetooth Devices Work?

- by Charlie Meneses

We are now living in an age where everything goes through the internet. With laptops, smartphones, Wi-Fi, and email almost everywhere, it is safe to say that you can work practically anywhere on the planet. Teams can work no matter where the plant floor, work zone, or job sites are located.

For team members in your area (more or less 1,500 feet line of sight), portable wireless headsets can give the team the ability to communicate with other team members hands-free with full-duplex clarity using a DECT7 standard. For members who are outside your area or miles away, it might be best to use a two-way radio. If it is outside the range of two-way communication, it is best to use cell phones using the Bluetooth connection. Through a wireless headset, companies will have a global reach.

Benefits of Using High-End Security Cameras Systems

- by Charlie Meneses

Back in the day, the video security systems used analog technology, which was the revolution in the world of monitoring and security for both businesses and household owners.

However, today, we live in the times when analog has become passé which means that most people are using digital technology that made analog perspective completely obsolete.

Therefore, if you wish to install a new surveillance system that will protect your business, it is crucial to do it as soon as possible, especially if you’re still using analog technology for video surveillance.

There are times in everyone’s life when it’s impossible to get away, even to attend the funeral of a person who was very important to you. Work obligations, family needs, or financial pressures might prevent you from traveling to a funeral at a distant location. Increasingly, funeral directors are offering webcasts of funeral services to make the proceedings accessible to anyone who can’t be there in person.

Using one or more cameras mounted strategically in the funeral chapel, a funeral director controls the webcast using computer software, usually on a laptop reserved especially for the purpose. The funeral service is streamed online in real time, letting anyone watch and hear the entire event.

After the service, the video is kept online for up to a year, or even longer. The funeral director, in consultation with the family, decides how long the video will be available.

Although funeral webcasts …

The other day, I was speaking with a thought leader from South Africa working with the schools and promoting the future of innovation with the goal of fostering business entrepreneurship to allow South Africa to meet the demands needed for the 21st Century. One thing that I find interesting here in the United States is that when we talk about energy innovation everyone assumes that we are talking about solar technologies or better wind turbines. They never seem to consider the traditional energy industry and all the technological advances being made there, such as fracking.

There was an interesting article in the ‘corporate news’ section of the Wall Street Journal on December 17, 2012 titled; “Chevron Enters Shale Hunt in South Africa – Company’s Decision Comes as Temporary Ban on Exploration Is Lifted in a Country Estimated to Hold Large Reserves,” by Devon Maylie and Alexis Flynn which …

Problems with Making Phone Calls

- by Charlie Meneses

It might seem like we’re in a technology savvy world where the internet is the only source of entertainment and all communications come from cellphone towers, but that is not always the case. Where my home is situated, we don’t get good cellphone reception, so we have to rely more heavily on a landline to get or receive calls. We are able to get on the internet as of this year, but the connection speed is very slow compared to what most people experience when they live in a city or small town. We’ve adapted to this way of life, but some people couldn’t handle it.

Problems with Making Phone Calls

Telephone service in our small town is a luxury. We have been lucky enough to have a landline at our home, but some of our neighbors are living too far away from the telephone poles to connect the landline wires to their homes. Without …
