How to achieve the radio communication between two warehouses?

We often encounter situations where warehouses use hand-held walkie-talkies. Warehouse staff use hand-held walkie-talkies to communicate with each other, the sorting of goods, and the flow of goods handling, etc., to coordinate their work progress and task arrangements. The security personnel of the warehouse use hand-held walkie-talkies to report to each other the security situation in their respective jurisdictions, which greatly improves the operational efficiency of the warehouse.

However, the communication distance of handheld walkie-talkies is limited. According to tests, in an urban environment, a 2W handheld walkie-talkie can talk about 2.5km, a 5W handheld walkie talkie is about 3.5km, and a 10W handheld walkie-talkie can reach a maximum of 5.0 -6.0km. This distance is more than enough for a warehouse, but when there are two warehouses, and the distance between the two warehouses is about 10km, as a manager, how to realize the radio communication between the two warehouses? Mr. Ruben is a businessman from Jamaica. He has a new problem with her currently use radio solution.

Ruben is a medical equipment businessman. He has a warehouse in Kingston, Jamaica, which is used to store goods. Three years ago, he found retevis and bought the Retevis RT1 radio communicate with employees in his warehouse. It is mainly used for communication between distribution personnel and between distribution and delivery personnel and transportation drivers. In recent years, with the expansion of business, especially in 2020, due to the impact of COVID, his medical device business has achieved a large-scale expansion. At the beginning of 2020, he rented a new warehouse to meet the growing expansion. For warehousing requirements, we named the warehouse he used before as warehouse 1, and the newly rented warehouse as warehouse 2.

warehouse1 and warehouse 2 location and distance

The distance between warehouse 1 and warehouse 2 is about 12 km. The Retevis RT1 walkie-talkie used by Mr. Ruben can fully meet the communication needs of warehouse 1. However, when faced with communication with warehouse 2, RT1 can no longer meet needs. Effective communication cannot be achieved between the two, the signal is very weak and there is noise. In order to realize the communication between the two warehouses at a distance of 12km, Mr. Ruben found Retevis radio solutions.

According to the Retevis RT1 currently used by Mr. Ruben, combined with the distance between the two warehouses, we recommend our RT97 mini repeater to perfectly solve the distance problem.

We placed the relay in the middle of the two warehouses. Mr. Ruben was great and helped us find a perfect location for the Retevis RT97 relay, on the top of a tall building. 

Just like the actual call distance test shown in the picture, after testing, the Retevis RT97 and Retevis RT1 radio solution set had cover a range of 16km, the call is clear, uninterrupted, and no noise, which perfectly solves the problem of too short call distance encountered by Mr. Ruben.
