Walkie talkie for hotels in Malaysia
Kitchens, back-of-house and basement car parks are where signal and radios fail first.
The problem
A hotel is hard on radios. Concrete walls and basements cut signal, and the kitchen brings water and steam. Front-of-house staff also want something discreet, while engineering and security want something tough.
What I check first
- Which floors and basements must connect, and where the dead spots are today.
- Who needs what: housekeeping, F&B, front office, engineering, security.
- Water and dust rating for the kitchen and outdoor areas.
- Earpieces, because guests should not hear your radio traffic.
- Your opening date, and what can go in before the MCMC frequency is approved.
Common questions
Does my hotel need a repeater?
Usually yes if staff must talk between basement and upper floors. I would test with radios on site first, then decide.
Which radio survives the kitchen?
Look at the IP rating first. An IP67 radio such as the R5 is built to survive being wet. An IP54 radio only handles splashes.
