Wireless encryption prevents unauthorised eavesdropping of sensitive communications.
AES256 is a secure solution.
AES 256 encryption is a symmetric key encryption algorithm.
It uses a 256-bit key to encrypt and decrypt data.
AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard and is a widely-used method for protecting sensitive data.
It is considered to be very secure and is used in many applications, including online banking, e-commerce, and secure communications.
The encryption process involves the use of a secret key, which is used to encrypt the plaintext, and a decryption key, which is used to decrypt the ciphertext.
The key used for encryption and decryption must be identical for the process to be successful.
AES256 wireless encryption is available for some two-way radios.

Best place to buy a Two-Way Radio
Best place to buy a Two-Way Radio in Lincolnshire is kind of a silly title, as you know what we will say :-)
You can buy two way radios online from anywhere, so why might you wish to purchase from a local Lincolnshire business.
One reason is we offer pre-sales range testing, at your site.
Range testing is important to establish that the purchased radios will work correctly in all geographical areas of your business site.
You may of noticed that adverts for ‘walkie talkies’ from online suppliers, sometimes state maximum communication range.
The communication ranges quoted, are under ideal conditions, and do not reflect real world use.
What we mean by ideal conditions, is no natural or man-made obstructions in between the two radio antennas.
To illustrate, imagine two people standing on top of two tall mountains, seven miles apart.
The radio signals can freely travel between the two radios.
Now imagine the same two radios, with an antenna height of 6 feet / 182CM high, and still seven miles apart from each other.
Now you have obstructions such as buildings and hills, getting in the way of the signal.
What happens when you get buildings in the way, is what is known as ‘attenuation’.
Attenuation is the reduction in signal strength, caused by the buildings and hills etc, and reduces how far the signal will travel.
Now hopefully you understand why we think having a pre-sales site range survey, is a good idea.
Yesway are dealers for most of the top two-way radio manufacturers, but specialise in Hytera & Entel products.
Our systems can provide both short and long range communications.
For short range communications we would recommend UHF or VHF licenced radios.
They are only slightly more expensive than the licence free radios, and a five year OFCOM licence only costs £75 (2019).
For long range communications the new POC radios offer the coverage of a mobile phone, with the instant communication of a traditional handheld two-way radio.
An example of the products we can supply is the Entel DN495.
Our DN400 4G LTE Wi-Fi PoC radios combine the best of traditional PTT (push-to-talk) with national cellular network operation for best-in-class performance.
Supplied with your choice of slim or high-capacity battery and drop-in charger as standard, our DN series delivers 3 watts of crystal-clear audio quality and volumes exceeding radios twice their size.
Removing the need for costly radio licensing and potential channel interference from other radio users, Entel’s PoC (push-to-talk over cellular) DN400 radios are ready to use with a SIM on a fair use policy.
The Smartphone App, Radio Gateway, PC Dispatcher and Android Dispatcher options offer you further flexibility whilst the ergonomic design, ultra-tactile buttons are suitable for gloved-hand use and its superior IP68 construction ensures these robust and compact commercial-grade radios are ready to support your operational needs. Just charge and go.

Choosing the Right Business Radio in easy steps
Business Radio – Choosing the right equipment for you.
It can be confusing for a member of the public who is tasked with choosing a business radio for their business, either as the business owner, or as an employee.
Fortunately we can help you understand the various options, as we recognise that most two-way radio dealers websites seem to be designed by ‘techies’ for techies.
I have taken the liberty of looking at other dealers websites, and trying to imagine that I knew nothing about two-way radio.
I am going to explain what all the jargon means so that you can make an informed decision.
Business Radios
Business radios describe two-way radios that are used by professional business organisations.
When reading websites you will come across terms such as:
Let’s start with Analogue (which would be logical I guess).
Analog two-way radios are available as Handheld (also known as ‘Hand-Portable’ or Walkie Talkies); Mobile (fitted in vehicles), and Base Stations which are the ones that would be at a fixed location, such as a desk.
Analog radios are the older technology (compared with Digital, which I will come on to later).
This does not mean that analog is necessarily a bad choice.
The advantage of Analogue radio equipment is that it is generally cheaper to purchase than the newer digital equipment, which still carries a premium in price (though coming down).
You also tend to get a better-built radio when compared with a digital one at the same price, which might be a consideration if you are on a tight budget, and need a certain level of resistance to dust and moisture (known as Ingress Protection).
Digital Radio
Digital two-way radio has been around for only a few years, and like in the early days of Video Recorders (For those old enough to remember them), there are two main competing standards that you will come across.
The two standards are firstly DMR, & secondly dPMR.
dPMR is the standard adopted by manufacturers, Icom & Kenwood.
DMR is the standard adopted by manufacturers, Motorola, Hytera, Tait, etc.
DMR seems to be slowly winning, with Kenwood now also offering a DMR radio, as well as their dPMR radio range.
As a business user, I would recommend you largely ignore the fact that there are two standards, and focus on what the radio system can do for you.
The two standards only become a consideration, when adding to existing digital radios that you may have. If this is the case, then you will need to stick with dPMR (or vice versa) to match your existing radios. We can help and advise you if needed.
One final thing to mention about the two standards is, though they are defined standards there are slight differences in interpretations of the standard between manufacturers.
This means that although for instance your DMR standard Hytera made radio is the same DMR standard as your Motorola, some advanced functions may not work, though basic communications should. Ask us for help and advice if required.
Security Radios
We offer a comprehensive two-way radio communications service in Lincoln, Hull & surrounding areas including offering security radios & equipment to local security businesses.
Unlike many companies on the internet, we don’t just sell walkie talkies. Our Lincoln based business can service, repair & install two-way security radios into vehicles. This is backed up with proper City & Guilds radio communications & electronics qualifications & experience. We also have professionally trained installation engineers to standard MPT1362.
