Digital Two-way Radios and Fast Radios, Inc. Compete with Cellular Phones in Florida
Naples, FL – Fast Radios, Inc., a commercial two-way radio systems company based in Naples Florida, has entered
into an agreement with a co-op of commercial two-way radio dealers in Florida to provide digital two-way radio coverage throughout
the state. Service is already available in south Florida and the state-wide system is expected to be completed before the end of 2011.
Digital two-way radios can give business owners in Florida communication coverage where cell phones do not. The system provides businesses
with vehicles on Florida roads their choice of local, regional or state-wide communication among their drivers and their dispatch offices.
"The technology now available in commercial two-way radio allows us to offer crisp, clear audio communication over very wide areas," says
Bill Richards, Vice President of Fast Radios, Inc. "We like the digital IDAS System from Icom America. When compared to an analog FM signal,
digital easily outperforms analog in audio clarity at the fringes of the communication range, thus providing more reliable audio over a greater
total area, even if the coverage footprint is the same as analog FM."

"The advantage two-way has over cellular is very simple," states Richards. "The typical transmission power of a cellular phone is 500 mW
(500 milliwatts). 500 milliwatts is the same thing as .5 watts or half a watt. Portable two-way radios transmit at 5 watts. That’s 10 times
the transmit power of cellular. The mobile radios mounted in the vehicles transmit at 45 watts. That's 90 times the power of cellular – and
the antenna is on top of the vehicle usually three or four feet higher than the cell phone in the cabin of the vehicle with the driver. That
all adds up to significantly better range when you're out there crossing Alligator Alley or the Tamiami Trail."
