Below are our frequently asked questions that will help you decide which of our wireless intercoms systems is right for you.

Q: I want a voice only wireless intercom, but I don’t know whether to choose the MURS Multi-Mile or the WireFree intercom system. Which one should I choose?

A: It first comes down to range. If you need less than 1000 feet, pick the WireFree. It is cheaper and it provides digital security whereas the MURS does not. The MURS does have privacy codes so you won't hear other people on your channel, unless they are set to the same privacy code (38 available). The Wirefree system also can be run totally battery powered and it has an outdoor intercom available for future expansions. The MURS system does have wireless outdoor intercom call boxes, but they are more industrial looking and much more expensive. If you are concerned about range, then the MURS has the longest range of any wireless intercom system on the market. It is also on a wireless frequency that doesn't have much traffic.



Q: Do walls and other obstructions limit the ranges specified for the wireless intercoms?

A: Yes. The ranges specified are for the most part clear line of site ranges. So if you are in a Kansas wheat field with no obstructions between wireless intercom units, you should easily get the range listed. However, when you have walls in the way, range will go down. Brick walls reduce range more than drywall does. Metal-framed walls reduce range more than wood-framed walls. A wall filled with electrical wires every foot or so will reduce range more than one with only one or two wires in it. There is no magic way to determine whether a wireless intercom will work in your application so you just need to try it and return it if it doesn’t.
