Hospitality environments have specific radio requirements. Radios used by hotel housekeeping and front desk staff need to be lightweight and unobtrusive, easy to operate with minimal training, and aesthetically appropriate for luxury or upscale environments. Security staff may need the same platform but with more robust features — earpiece compatibility, more channels, emergency alert capability. Motorola Solutions’ R2 and R5 models are commonly used in hospitality settings. Programming for hospitality environments typically separates departments into distinct channels: front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, food and beverage, security, and management.
