Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Talk and Walk' Walkie Talkie is Crafted for Demanding Jobs

— October 21, 2016 — Tech
The traditional design of walkie talkies makes them relatively bulky for professionals to use, so the 'Talk and Walk' device is designed to offer a more compact unit. Designed by Manpreet Bhattee, the 'Talk and Walk' unit is slim in design and intended for use by those in the courier services sector or those that need comprehensive team communication.

The 'Talk and Walk' is crafted from ABS plastic to make it inherently rigid and capable of being tossed around without breaking. The simplified design makes it suitable for use by beginners who might not have worked with traditional walkie talkies prior. Only three controls are evident on the design including the power button and two dials for volume and channel control to ensure it's kept as straightforward as possible.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Communication Devices - The development of more compact communication devices provides an opportunity for manufacturers to cater to professionals who require ease of use and mobility.
2. Simplified Control Interfaces - The shift towards simplified interfaces and controls makes it easier and more accessible for new users and those who require quick and easy operation.
3. Rugged Equipment Design - The growing demand for durable and rugged equipment provides opportunities for device manufacturers and suppliers to create products that can withstand high-pressure work environments.
Industry Implications
1. Courier Services - Compact and lightweight communication devices like the 'Talk and Walk' Walkie Talkie provide an opportunity for communication manufacturers to cater more specifically to courier services.
2. Construction and Maintenance Services - Simple and rugged communication devices like the 'Talk and Walk' Walkie Talkie are ideal for workers in construction sites and maintenance services, creating an opportunity for manufacturers to develop products specially designed for these industries.
3. Emergency Services - The development of durable and easy-to-use communication devices can benefit emergency services personnel by providing quick and seamless communication during high-pressure situations.
