#### **1. Determine your needs**


The first step in choosing the right wireless device is to understand your basic needs. Here are some questions to help you decide:

- Do you need the device for use in an open or closed environment?

-What range of connection do you need?

- Do you work in remote areas or in a hazardous environment?

Are you looking for a device that provides you with online connectivity or do you need a traditional device?


At Broadband Store, we have solutions to suit all these needs through a wide range of devices that operate on different frequencies and support advanced systems.

#### **2. Types of wireless frequencies**


Choosing the right frequency is one of the most important factors in determining which wireless device is right for you. Here are some commonly used frequencies:


1. **VHF Frequency (Very High Frequency)**

- **Ideal Use**: Open areas such as industrial sites or rural areas.

- **Characteristics**: It has a long coverage range, but is less effective at penetrating obstacles such as walls.

- **Example**: If you need a device to be used in open areas or over long distances, a VHF device would be the ideal choice.


2. **UHF (Ultra High Frequency)**

- **Ideal Use**: Enclosed environments such as factories and warehouses.

- **Features**: It has a great ability to penetrate walls and obstacles, making it the ideal choice for indoor work.

- **Example**: If you work in closed environments or need to communicate between different floors or departments in buildings, a UHF device would be most suitable.


3. **2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies (Wi-Fi and POC devices)**

- **Ideal Use**: Connecting via the Internet or local networks.

- **Features**: Provides high connection speeds, and is ideal for modern communication applications such as **POC** (Push-to-Talk over Cellular).

- **Example**: If you need instant communication between teams in different locations using the Internet, **POC** devices that rely on these frequencies are the best option.

#### **3. Modern wireless communication systems**


As technology advances, wireless communication systems have become more sophisticated, giving you many options to choose the one that best suits your needs.


1. **POC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) devices**

- **Description**: These devices rely on the Internet or **4G/5G** networks to provide instant communication between teams in different locations without distance restrictions.

- **Features**: These devices allow you to communicate quickly and with high quality via voice and video.

- **Example**: If you need constant communication between teams located in multiple locations, **POC** systems will be the best choice.


2. **Traditional communication devices (Analog)**

- **Description**: It relies on traditional frequencies that provide communication in close or closed areas.

- **Features**: Easy to use, ideal for simple communication.

- **Example**: If you work in local environments or need simple connectivity away from modern technologies, analog devices are the ideal choice.


3. **Digital communication devices**

- **Description**: These devices provide high-quality sound and advanced technologies such as encryption and channel splitting.

- **Advantages**: Provides a secure and stable connection, and can operate over greater distances compared to analog devices.

- **Example**: If you are in a sensitive work environment such as the oil or security industries, digital devices would be most appropriate.

#### **4. Iridium satellite system**


If you operate in remote environments or where mobile network coverage is unavailable, the Iridium Satellite System offers the perfect solution.

- **Description**: **Iridium** uses a satellite network to provide global coverage, ensuring you have a permanent and secure connection anywhere, even in areas not covered by 4G or 5G networks.

- **Advantages**:

- Covers all parts of the world including oceans and deserts.

- Provides voice and data connectivity in remote locations.

- Ideal for expeditions, rescue teams, and organizations operating in remote areas.


- **Example**: If you need continuous connectivity while working in remote environments such as deserts or at sea, **Iridium** would be the ideal choice.

#### **5. How to choose the right wireless device?**


- **Environment Selection**: Choose a device that is appropriate for your operating environment. If you are in an enclosed environment, choose a UHF device. If you are in an open environment or need long-range coverage, choose VHF.

Choosing the right system: If you need global connectivity or in remote environments, an Iridium satellite system is the best choice. If you need instant communication between teams, a POC system is the best option.

- **Expert Consultation**: The **Broadband** team is ready to answer your inquiries and help you choose the best one for you.
