The rugged environment of the commercial fishing industry is a lot more challenging than people assume. Especially in the colder climates of New England, Canada and Alaska, water and inclement weather can wreak havoc on an unprepared crew. Commands must be conveyed across slippery decks to ensure the safety of employees, and two way radios can help everyone make "the catch of the day."

The Motorola HT1250 is a cost-effective portable radio that can be used by fishermen around the world. The integrated X-Pand compression system eliminates the background noise that can come from industrial machinery hauling in nets, and special alert signals can be sent out to coordinate the retrieval and storage of seafood. A programmable emergency button can also inform upper management of dangerous situations that require immediate action such as a man falling overboard. The water-resistant chassis is perfect for the wet conditions present on the open sea.

Accessories like a Motorola headset can leave a fisherman's hands free to deal with slick netting or unsteady decks, and the internal VOX can provide voice-activated correspondence when necessary.

When fishing on the ocean, ships should be sure to employ two-way radios to manage their operational infrastructure.
