Available in either VHF or UHF, display and non-display models, the industrial grade DTEx Series sets the benchmark for next-generation onboard intrinsically safe portables
UHF two-way radios typically operate within the ultra high frequency range of approximately 400–470 MHz. This UHF spectrum is particularly suitable for indoor environments, as it allows signals to penetrate walls, concrete and steel structures more effectively than many other standards. This is why UHF walkie talkies are widely used in industrial facilities, warehouses and large building complexes. Modern devices can be configured flexibly, with programmable channels and digital technologies enabling group communication, improved audio quality and enhanced security.
UHF frequency range (approx. 400–470 MHz)
Ideal for communication inside buildings and urban industrial environments.
Strong building penetration
Stable communication through walls, shelving systems and steel structures.
1–5 watt transmission power (licence dependent)
Higher output supports wider coverage in large buildings or facilities.
Programmable channels
Clear organisation for teams, departments or operational zones.
Analogue or digital operation (DMR / dPMR)
Choice between simple communication and advanced digital features.
Repeater support and encryption
Extends coverage and helps protect sensitive business communication.
How to choose the right product?
OKConsider building structure: large warehouses, steel shelving or multi-storey buildings affect signal performance, making UHF walkie talkie solutions ideal.
OKChoose analogue or digital: digital models offer group calls, improved audio and optional encryption.
OKPlan coverage: for very large buildings or multiple sites, a repeater can significantly extend the UHF range.
OKPlan battery usage: for shift work, spare batteries and multi-chargers are essential.
OKAssess the environment: industrial sites, logistics centres or office buildings each require different radio setups.
OKCheck licensing: licensed UHF two-way radios often provide higher performance and better integration into professional systems.
Professional use cases
UHF walkie talkies are widely used in industrial and logistics environments. In large warehouses, they enable communication between picking, shipping and warehouse management. Manufacturing sites use them to connect maintenance teams, security staff and supervisors quickly. They are also essential in the security sector, for example in shopping centres, hotels, stadiums and office complexes. Thanks to strong building penetration, teams remain connected across multiple floors.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions
What does UHF mean in two-way radios?
UHF stands for Ultra High Frequency and refers to radios operating between approximately 400 and 470 MHz. These radios are particularly suitable for urban environments and indoor use, as UHF signals penetrate obstacles more effectively.
When should UHF radios be used?
UHF two-way radios are ideal for indoor environments such as warehouses, shopping centres, hotels or industrial sites. Where there are many walls, machines or shelving systems, they usually provide more stable communication.
What range do UHF radios offer?
The range depends heavily on the environment. Inside buildings, it typically covers several hundred metres up to a few kilometres. In open areas, the range can be significantly greater, especially with professional systems.
What is the difference between UHF and VHF radios?
The main difference lies in frequency and signal behaviour. UHF is better suited to indoor and urban environments, while VHF generally provides greater range in open outdoor areas.
