Why you need effective two-way radios in sporting arenas

Two-way radios are an indispensable asset in sports stadia of all sizes, helping to deliver smooth operations and enhance the overall experience for genuine supporters.

While most sports fans attend games or matches with the best intentions in mind, unfortunately problems do occur which necessitate a rapid response from stewards, officials, and security staff, including:

  • Poor crowd management, including overcrowding and stampedes that pose extreme risks to fan safety.
  • Violence and disorder from unruly spectators or organised criminals.
  • Medical emergencies, such as injuries, cardiac events, or breathing difficulties.
  • Adverse weather conditions which can put spectators and players in danger.
  • Terrorism or security threats that necessitate a robust and rapid response to protect lives.
  • Fire hazards in or near the stadium which requires the emergency evacuation of large numbers of people.
  • Theft of personal possessions or sexual or physical assaults carried out in densely packed areas.
  • Counterfeit tickets and merchandise which damages revenues and the supporter experience.
  • Technology failures affecting floodlights, scoreboards, monitors, referee communications, or Video Assistant Referee equipment.
  • Traffic congestion and parking violations in and around the ground.

With the potential to cause extensive disruption and disorder for large numbers of people in crowded sports arenas, unforeseen events necessitate a rapid response from staff, so it is vital that they have the means to communicate quickly and efficiently before a minor problem becomes a catastrophe.

How two-way radios will improve safety at your sports stadium

Instant communication

Two-way radios for sporting events facilitate real-time communication between key staff, such as security officers, medical personnel, and organisers, thereby ensuring a coordinated and rapid response to incidents as soon as they occur. One-touch push-to-talk functionality means staff can raise the alarm quickly by instantly communicating with every single colleague, which avoids the wastage of precious seconds.

Emergency management

In emergencies, two-way radios empower staff to respond quickly to emerging incidents to ensure that spectators are safe and potential dangers are mitigated, for example if a serious medical event, fan disturbances, or weather-related issues occur.

Crowd control

Two-way radios help security teams and stewards to effectively manage crowds before and after a game has finished. By communicating clearly about crowd numbers in different areas of the arena, staff can ensure that the movement of fans is smooth and avoid dangerous bottlenecks that could increase the risk of a crush or stampede.

Operations management

Sports two-way radios are invaluable in assisting staff to coordinate and manage different aspects of an event, such as logistics, facilities, concessions, parking, and ticketing. Because organisers can deploy staff quickly to parts of the ground where demand is highest, spectators will enjoy a more seamless visitor experience, without unnecessary delays.

Security checks

Two-way radios for security guards are an invaluable asset at sporting fixtures as they help staff to coordinate vital security checks as fans arrive. During the event, eagle-eyed security personnel can liaise with each other if suspicious behaviour is spotted to enforce compliance with stadium policies and maintain a safe and secure environment for all spectators.

Integration with CCTV

When integrated with body-worn and stadium CCTV cameras, two-way radios offer an additional layer of protection. Armed with live information from security staff about events within the stadium, CCTV controllers can quickly hone in on incidents to gain more information and record evidence for use later, if needed, while body-worn CCTV images can validate audio conversations between staff.
