Using the new Ring Two-way radio to help with mobility impairment Aug 09, 2023

When Ring announced the launch of Ring Two-way radio, Rob from Wakefield in the UK was quick to order one, knowing that it could make a big difference to his life.

Having developed a mobility impairment in recent years, Rob has days when answering his GMRS walkie-talkie can be a real challenge. Being able to speak to visitors and buzz them into his building using his smartphone would make things a lot more convenient for him, especially when he was away from home.

“I have a mobility impairment, so I’m not always able to answer the door,” said Rob. “I bought Ring Two-way radio to be able to answer the door when I’m either not in the house or confined to my bed.”

Having installed Ring radio, Rob found that he was immediately able to make use of the Two-Way Talk and Remote Unlock features to speak to visitors and buzz them in using his smartphone.

Recently, Rob was having some adaptations made to his flat. During this time he was able to combine the use of his Ring Two-way radio and Video Doorbell - answering his radio to various tradespeople and then seeing them arrive at the door of his flat before letting them in.

Day-to-day, he can let delivery drivers into the building and ask them to leave his packages in a safe place without having to get up from his bed. He can then pick up his deliveries when he is feeling more mobile.

As his story demonstrates, Ring Two-way radio is ideal for apartment-dwellers who work away from home, frequent travelers, or anyone who wants to make their everyday a little easier.
