Keep Security Teams Connected When Every Second Matters
Security personnel depend on fast, reliable communications to coordinate patrols, respond to incidents and stay connected with supervisors and other team members. Wireless Voice & Data designs and supports communications solutions that provide immediate push-to-talk communications across buildings, campuses, properties and wide-area security operations.
From professional two-way radios and dispatch to in-building coverage and nationwide Push-to-Talk, we help security organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California build communications systems around their personnel, properties and operational requirements.
Connect Your Entire Security Operation
Instant Communications Across Your Team
Security personnel are rarely sitting behind a desk. Officers may be stationed at entrances, patrolling buildings, monitoring parking areas, responding to incidents or traveling between locations.
Two-way radio and push-to-talk communications give personnel an immediate way to reach individuals, supervisors or entire teams without relying on phone calls or text messages.
Wireless Voice & Data can help connect:
- Security officers
- Patrol personnel
- Supervisors
- Dispatchers
- Command and operations personnel
- Front desk and reception
- Parking security
- Event security
- Facilities personnel
- Mobile patrol teams
- Regional management
- Other authorized personnel
Whether your team protects one property or multiple client locations, we'll help determine the right communications technology for your operation.
Communications for Faster Response
Get Information to the Right People Quickly
Security operations can change in seconds. Personnel need to communicate clearly when routine activity becomes an incident requiring additional assistance.
Patrol Operations
Keep officers connected as they move throughout buildings, campuses, parking areas and exterior properties.
Incident Response
Allow personnel to immediately communicate with supervisors and other authorized team members when assistance is required.
Dispatch & Coordination
Give dispatchers and supervisors a central communications point for coordinating personnel and assignments.
Access & Perimeter Operations
Connect personnel at entrances, gates, loading areas, parking facilities and other controlled locations.
Event Security
Coordinate officers and supervisors working across venues, entrances, parking areas and event spaces.
Mobile Patrol
Maintain push-to-talk communications with officers and supervisors traveling between properties or assignments.
Discreet Communications for Security Personnel
Stay Connected Without Broadcasting the Conversation
Some security environments require communications to remain discreet.
Wireless Voice & Data can provide compatible earpieces, speaker microphones, headsets and other audio accessories based on the user's role and operating environment.
Discreet earpieces can be particularly useful for personnel working in hotels, casinos, healthcare facilities, retail environments, corporate properties and other locations where loud radio traffic could disrupt customers, guests or employees.
Patrol personnel working outdoors or in demanding environments may require different accessories designed around mobility and working conditions.
Coverage Throughout the Property
Communications Wherever Officers Patrol
Security teams often work in areas that can be challenging for radio communications.
Concrete and steel construction, elevators, stairwells, basements, parking structures, large campuses and separate buildings can all affect RF coverage.
Wireless Voice & Data can evaluate where personnel need to communicate and design a system using the appropriate combination of radios, repeaters, antennas and communications infrastructure.
For facilities with challenging in-building coverage or public safety radio requirements, we also provide RF testing and Public Safety DAS, BDA and ERRCS solutions.
Dispatch Communications
Coordinate Personnel from a Central Location
Dispatch can provide supervisors and operations personnel with a centralized way to communicate with security teams working throughout a property or across multiple locations.
Wireless Voice & Data can design and integrate dispatch solutions around your communications system and operational requirements.
Depending on the platform selected, dispatch capabilities can support communications with individuals and groups and provide a central point for coordinating field personnel.
Communications Technology for Security
Choose the Right Platform for Your Operation
A security team protecting one building has different communications requirements from a company managing officers across dozens of client locations.
Wireless Voice & Data can evaluate your users, properties, coverage requirements and existing infrastructure and recommend the technology—or combination of technologies—that best fits your operation.

Security Communications FAQs
What are the best two-way radios for security?
The right radios depend on the property, coverage requirements, number of users and working environment. Security personnel may also need specific accessories such as discreet earpieces or speaker microphones based on their assignments.
Why do security teams use two-way radios instead of cell phones?
Two-way radios provide immediate push-to-talk communications with individuals or groups without placing calls or waiting for someone to answer. This can make them particularly useful for teams that need frequent, coordinated communications.
Can security officers have separate radio channels or talk groups?
Yes. Depending on the system and licensing, channels or talk groups can be configured around different teams, locations or responsibilities while allowing designated personnel to communicate across groups when needed.
Can security officers use discreet earpieces?
Yes. Compatible earpieces and other audio accessories can provide discreet communications for officers working around customers, guests, employees or the public.
How can we improve radio coverage in parking garages and stairwells?
Concrete, below-grade areas and building construction can affect radio signals. Wireless Voice & Data can evaluate RF coverage and recommend repeaters, antennas or other in-building coverage solutions when needed.
Can we communicate with security officers at multiple locations?
Yes. Depending on the locations and requirements, options can include multi-site radio systems, IP-connected communications and cellular Push-to-Talk solutions such as HearClear.
What communications work best for mobile security patrols?
For personnel traveling across larger geographic areas, wide-area radio or cellular Push-to-Talk can provide alternatives to a traditional single-site radio system. Wireless Voice & Data can evaluate the coverage area and operational requirements to recommend an appropriate solution.
Can a security operation use dispatch with two-way radios?
Yes. Dispatch solutions can provide a central communications point for coordinating officers, supervisors and other personnel. Available functionality depends on the communications platform and system configuration.
