About School-Radio
Affordable Two-Way Radio Solutions For Preschools, Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, and High Schools
School-Radio provides affordable, easy-to-use communication and GPS tracking solutions for schools. Our products help keep students safe and improve school operations. With School-Radio, administrators can communicate with staff and students quickly and easily, no matter where they are. In addition, our dispatch console and GPS tracking software give schools real-time location information for staff, buses, and other vehicles.
What Is Push-To-Talk over Cellular (PoC)
School-Radio uses Push-To-Talk Over Cellular technology, combining the basic Push-To-Talk form factor and features with smartphone connectivity into a single device. Additionally, two-way PoC radios utilize the 4G secure network to greatly reduce coverage issues experienced by traditional Push-To-Talk devices. Another key point is that you can communicate locally, regionally, or nationally using the mobile phone data network, instead of radio waves.
The School-Radio Difference
Keeping students safe on buses, in classes, on school grounds, and at sporting events is a primary concern for all school districts. With the push of a button and near-instant connection, schools and transportation companies can communicate in a building, on a bus, or across town, with coverage wherever you go!
Uses For Radios in K-12 Schools

Testimonials
"Cumberland County Schools implemented the use of over 600 School-Radio devices on all school buses for the 2023/2024 school year. We are pleased with the quality of the School-Radio and have had no issues. The radios are simple to use and help with the reaction time of dispatch tremendously."
Zachary Rucker | Shop Supervisor
"Coming from a background in 9-1-1 communications to School Transportation, there are many differences but the needs are very much just as important. We were frustrated with outdated aging radio equipment, and even worse, couldn’t find anyone to work on our system to keep us running. But then we were introduced to School Radio. Clarity is what they are all about. Our dispatch can handle communications from anywhere on the planet, our drivers are kept aware of safety sensitive information, and we know where our fleet is at all times. Best of all, their service. They are always quick to respond to our needs and their reps balance professionalism and personability with class. We stay on the road thanks to School Radio!"
