In many parts of Uganda, speed and clarity in communication can make all the difference. Whether it is a security guard relaying an urgent alert, a farm supervisor checking on field workers, or event staff coordinating a large crowd, delays can lead to confusion. This is where radio calls come in.
Radio calls, also known as two-way walkie talkie radios, allow instant voice communication at the push of a button. They do not rely on mobile networks, meaning they work even in areas where phone coverage is unreliable. Unlike phone calls, which connect one person to another, radio calls can link entire teams on the same channel at once.
We provide different types of radio calls to suit different uses. Handheld radios, often called walkie-talkies, are portable and ideal for on-foot communication. Vehicle-mounted radios offer stronger signals and wider range for drivers and transport teams. Base station radios, usually fixed in an office or control room, keep management in constant contact with field workers. Each type can be programmed for specific channels, ensuring secure and clear communication.
At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we supply, program, install, and maintain radio call systems for a wide range of clients.
Our process begins by understanding your needs. We look at where you will be using the radios, how many people need them, and what range is required. Based on this, we recommend the most suitable type and model.
We stock radios from trusted brands with features such as long battery life, noise reduction, water resistance, and extended range. For teams that need privacy, we can program secure channels. For discreet communication, we supply earpieces and hands-free accessories.
We set up your radios so they are ready to use immediately, whether for a small team of guards or a large company fleet. We also provide training on how to use and care for them for the best performance.
When issues arise, our repair team is ready to fix faulty units quickly. We also offer maintenance checks to ensure your radios stay in good condition, keeping your communication uninterrupted.
How far can your radios reach?
It depends on the model and the environment. In open spaces, some radios can cover several kilometres. In towns or hilly areas, the range may be shorter due to buildings or terrain. We match the radio to your environment so you get reliable coverage.
Do I need a license to use them?
For personal or small-scale use, many models operate on free frequencies. For commercial or high-power units, a license from the Uganda Communications Commission may be needed. We guide clients through this process when required.
How long will the batteries last?
Most models we supply last 8–12 hours on a single charge, depending on how often they are used. We also supply spare batteries for longer shifts.
Can radios work without mobile network?
Yes. They do not rely on telecom networks and work independently within their range.
Are your radios waterproof?
We stock water-resistant and fully waterproof models for clients who work in wet or rainy conditions. If this is what you need, let us know and we shall supply exactly that.
Can I link a vehicle radio to a handheld one?
Yes. As long as both are on the same frequency and within range, they can communicate easily.
What if one of my radios stops working?
Bring it to us. Our repair team can fix most issues quickly and get it back to you in working condition.
How many people can talk at once?
One person speaks at a time, but everyone on the same channel hears the message instantly.
Do you have GPS-enabled radios?
Yes. These are especially useful for fleet management and security patrol tracking.
Do you train clients to use the radios?
Absolutely. We provide hands-on training so your team can operate them confidently and get the best results.
For many Ugandan businesses, farms, and security operations, radio calls are still the most reliable way to stay connected. They work where mobile networks fail, keep teams coordinated, and cost nothing to run once installed.
