Overcome Communication Challenges

Why Push to Talk for Estates & FM

Why facilities management within the educational sector should leverage Airacom APTT push to talk to improve their operations and

estates management. Schools and campuses require day-to-day oversight. Whether you are reporting to security teams, ensuring that

front of house staff are up to date, collaborating between groups, or if you need to send an emergency alert to your entire team, keeping

everyone on the same page is crucial. Unfortunately, that’s not always easy, which is why facilities management and estate teams turn

to Airacom’s ultra-wide-area group communications platform to keep everyone updated and collaborating.

1. Airacom APTT operates over a wide area using 3G, 4G, LTE, 5G, and WiFi IP networks. (including satellite services where available)

2. Our solution is agile and requires no dedicated infrastructure to install, maintain or manage across your sites.

3. We are technologically advanced with a suite of communication, emergency, location and messaging features.

4. Our systems are highly secure and scalable with end-to-end encryption and GDPR compliant architecture.

Keep Teams Connected

and Collaborating for

Schools, Colleges and

University Campuses

Regardless of a schools size or location, the main priority for

educational institutions is to protect their workforce and ensure

the safety of all students at all times. Communication for estates

and facilities management staff poses significant challenges as schools, colleges and universities are often large and complex

organisations, with hundreds of employees and students across

multiple buildings and campus sites impacting collaboration and

safety. Communication plays a critical role in this process as

many school campuses can operate with hundreds of pupils and

staff across multiple sites and buildings. While there are many

school communication systems and technologies available for

educational institutions, there are some drawbacks to using

some methods of communication.

Two-Way Radios (walkie-talkies)

• Traditional two-way radios have limited coverage range, limiting communication with employees across larger areas.

• They often require on-site infrastructure to increase coverage with masts and repeaters at additional cost.

• Campuses with multiple sites often buy and use separate radio systems not always connected centrally.

• Estates and FM staff operating off-site or moving from site to site will typically lose communication.

• Unlicensed radios present a GDPR risk as conversations can be listened to or suffer interference, causing confusion.

Mobile Phones

• While mobile phones offer near-national coverage, you have to wait for someone to answer before you can speak.

• This is not ideal for short message check-ins, clarifications or broadcasting messages in an emergency situation. • Mobile phone calls and phone apps like (Whatsapp) typically only allow you to talk to one person at a time. They are

not designed for group, or large group broadcasts across different talk groups in the same way radios operate.

• In general consumer-grade smartphones do not have the required safety features to benefit lone or remote workers.

Email and SMS

• School mobile phone policies typically prohibit the use of SMS messages by staff on private mobile phones.

• The use of email can provide context around specific tasks or situations, but it cannot be used for instant and urgent group communication between teams and departments.

• Communications - Improve collaboration across your site and multi-site school, college and universities with instant push to talk.

• Health & Safety - Increase on-site safety for staff and remote and lone workers with emergency notifications and SOS alerts.

• Emergency Evacuation - Make fire drills and active events safer and more efficient with joined-up communications across teams.

• Security - Keep staff and classrooms safe with dedicated communication channels updating staff and teachers with risk and potential hazards.

• Unlimited Talk-Groups - To collaborate more effectively, provide dedicated talk groups for management and staff (cleaning, estates management, FM, operational services, headteacher and on-site contractors).

• Connecting Staff - Make communication between teams, departments and colleagues more efficient and provide real-time team collaboration.
