Known for keeping the UKs electric network operating, at the National Grid communication is key.

One of their store centres, responsible for coordinating stock movements and managing urgent orders, rely on two-way radios to keep staff aligned.

Out with the Old, In with the R2

Previously, the National Grid relied on radios provided by a third-party service. But after this was discontinued, the team needed a dependable replacement to avoid communication breakdowns across the office and warehouse. That’s when they turned to Radio Solutions, opting for the Motorola R2 as their new go-to device.

Supporting Daily Demands with a Smarter Radio

Twelve Motorola R2 radios were deployed across the site, offering immediate support for the store’s busy daily operations. Compact, lightweight, and built for tough environments, the Motorola R2 delivers the performance needed in fast-paced settings like warehousing and logistics.

Key benefits of the Motorola R2 include:

- Loud, clear audio with advanced noise cancellation for busy environments

- Up to 26.5 hours of battery life to support long shifts

- Compact and durable design built for demanding workplace conditions

- Programmable buttons for quick access to key functions

- Extended range for clear communication across large sites

These features have helped the National Grid team stay connected and efficient throughout the day.

Smooth Service from Radio Solutions

When asked about the buying experience, John Boulter, Service Delivery Administrator, highlighted the helpful support he received:

“Good, especially Lucy who was fantastic in helping myself with getting these ordered and with returning the walkie talkies we purchased incorrectly. She is a credit to your company.”

From assisting with the initial purchase to managing returns, Lucy and the Radio Solutions team ensured the process was straightforward and professional.
