Radios for Holiday parks
Resort and Park Communications
There are many areas of communications in holiday parks and resorts that need to have effective communication to be efficient in the overall business. Often the parks and caravan or chalet sites are huge and it can be hard to talk especially when staff are outside tending to one job or another. Clearly its important to ensure that visitors and guests get great service, but over such large areas that can prove to be difficult. And there are some tasks that could not operate without clear and concise contact between staff.
The main areas include maintenance, cleaners,
entertainment, lifeguards and security. With such a diverse
array of separate tasks it becomes very important to choose
the correct equipment for each one of those departments so
that each one can make a positive contribution to
efficiency, service and overall profitability.
Maintenance Duties
Considering maintenance duties in any
holiday park is rather like facilities management of
buildings. In fact there are stark similarities. Maintenance
staff will need to talk with each other at almost any time
in the 24 hour period because problems happen and if you
have guests in a rental then those issues have to be quickly
dealt with and great service is chartered by great
communication. Radios for maintenance teams must be
waterproof, robust, have great range, will need an emergency
button, need clear audio and on occasion loud audio, radios
that have extensive battery life, digital technology, are
easy to carry and use and be cost effective. A typical
suitable handset is the
Hytera
HP605 series which ticks all the boxes.
Cleaning Teams
As any reader will know, cleaning teams
cover the entire site, and sites can have a large land mass
so range is important. And teams of cleaners usually have to
talk often because some guests will not want disturbing so
the actual work involved will change on every cleaning sweep
of the site. While the requirement for colleagues that are
part of the team are not quite as specific as maintenance or
other departments, cleaners still are around water. A
suitable hand set could be the
Hytera PD485 long range radio that has most of the
features required but in this case is splash proof. However,
it handles the important long range chatting admirably.
Entertaining Department
Most but not all leisure parks
operate an entertainment department that is there to help
create a good experience for guests. A consideration for the
team behind the entertainment department is how any device
is unobtrusive, but at the same time effective and easy to
use and carry. Typically the range is less critical and its
possible to use less powerful equipment but a licensed radio
is a must have to reduce interference from other users
systems. The
Opus T4 has a good long range, includes a panic button,
supplies clear audio and importantly loud audio necessary
for when performers are on stage. IP65 means that this
device is splash proof and dust proof. Battery life is 15
hours without recharging. Our link shows the license free
unit, but the licensed version is recommended to reduce
interference and increase range.
Lifeguards and Pool Attendants
Where there could be
any danger to life its critical that staff can talk over a
solid, dependable platform and a digital radio will be
perfect. For kids and older kids called parents resorts are
a fun place of course, and often guests can easily 'forget'
that any swimming pool (or maybe on the near beach) could be
the site of really bad experiences for guests or in the
worst cases could be fatal to participants. Holiday parks
have a responsibility to ensure that all guests are safe
while using the amenities available. For employees
responsible for pool safety they have to have the tools to
do the job in any dangerous situation or emergency. A really
good device that we can recommend for talk between staff at
the pool is the
Entel DX400
series that is waterproof (fully submersible), has
a panic button, with or without display, is a licensed unit
to dismiss interference, is very robust, and is used by UK
fire and rescue services. There is an optional Bluetooth and
a whole plethora of other features.
Security Teams
In these days of security issues how
long will it be before the UK sees an incident that could
see hundreds of guests injured? But also there are the day
to day operations of any other types of security on-site or
over the entire estate. Usually security radios need quite
specific equipment, but it does depend on the level of
security being covered. Ensuring that both guest and staff
safety is essential, but so is the protection of assets and
other areas such as perimeter guard, security teams in the
bar or entertainment area, building security and vehicle
security when parked on-site and a whole range of other
aspects where security needs to communicate effectively. It
might be very important that the size of the unit
needs to be easily useable and easily hidden on the person,
as well as affordable, robust, splash resistant and capable
of scrambled communications and the
Hytera PD485 radio is a good recommendation. An
alternative is the
Motorola DP1400 that is often used for security voice
communications. Lastly of course we have available signal
repeaters where longer range is needed and can operate with other
on-site repeaters for solid and consistent range and signal.
The fact remains that there are a lot of divisions in
holiday parks that radio equipment is typically used to
solve issues. It's possible to buy equipment, hire or
rent or lease purchase equipment from LRS UK so we can meet
the needs of every requirement for every type of unit you
might want as we supply them all the time to this sector.
