From festivals and conferences to hotels, restaurants and function centres, hospitality teams need to coordinate quickly and quietly. Two-way radios connect managers, front of house, kitchen, security and logistics in an instant, without guests hearing every message. Radio Industries supplies radios to buy, and radio hire for one-off events, Australia-wide.
What events and venues use
Compact handheld radios
Slim, lightweight radios that suit uniforms and long shifts. See handheld radios.
Discreet earpieces
Covert and D-shell earpieces so messages stay private. See earpieces.
Radio hire
Radios, headsets and chargers for festivals, conferences and one-off events. See two-way radio hire.
Push-to-talk over cellular

Why radios work for hospitality
Instant group calls to every team at once
Separate channels for front of house, kitchen, security and production
Discreet audio with earpieces, so guests aren't disturbed
Batteries for long events, with multi-unit chargers
No call costs and no relying on busy mobile networks at crowded events
Large venues and festivals
Big sites, multi-level venues and outdoor festivals may need more power or a repeater for full coverage. We can plan channels and coverage for your event or venue. Permanent venues can also see our stadium radios and golf club and resort radios.
Buy or hire
For ongoing operations, buying radios gives you a reliable fleet that's always ready. For one-off events, hire is often simpler. We program radios before dispatch and support you Australia-wide. Contact us for availability, lead times or a suitable alternative.
Events & Hospitality Two-Way Radios FAQs
Can I hire radios for a one-off event?
Yes. We hire radios, headsets and chargers for events Australia-wide. See two-way radio hire or call 1300 266 682.
How do we stop guests hearing radio messages?
Use earpieces. Covert and D-shell earpieces keep audio private while staff stay connected. See earpieces.
Can different teams have their own channels?
Yes. Radios can be programmed with separate channels for front of house, kitchen, security and production, with a common channel for everyone.
Will radios cover a large festival site?
It depends on the size and layout. Larger sites may need higher-powered radios or a repeater. Tell us about your event and we will recommend a setup.
Do I need a licence?
UHF CB radios are licence free. Commercial radios on a private channel need an ACMA licence, which we can help arrange. Hire radios are supplied ready to use.
