Paging systems are often synonymous with high-stakes situations. Often, characters we watch on police and hospital dramas are summoned to the next confrontation or plot twist with the bleeping of their trusty pager. That’s to say nothing of the real emergencies where pagers are the most logical choice for quick and reliable communications between emergency [...]

For creatures living in the oceans’ depths, where light is almost entirely absent and the scarcity of food means that individuals must range far from one another, finding a suitable mate is considerably more challenging than in most other regions on Earth. For this purpose, these creatures have adapted various communications strategies for attracting and [...]

Scientists have discovered over recent decades that some trees and plants emit chemicals that provoke a survival-boosting reaction in surrounding trees or even in animals.  The extent to which this represents trees “talking” remains under debate.  In some cases, it seems passive: the second tree simply responds to the first tree’s chemical reaction to its [...]

Sometimes our cat’s behaviour can seem a little on the odd side to us humans. Is there any reason that Sylvester head butts us in the morning, or kneads our stomach as we settle down in front of the TV? Actually yes, both these are forms of affection and understanding your cat’s communications strategies can [...]

It happens – sometimes, even the most well-intentioned communications strategies go wrong. “What we’ve got here,” as Luke famously says in the film ‘Cool Hand Luke’, “is a failure to communicate”. Though communication strategies span across different mediums and can contain many different messages, there are a few common factors when they fail to achieve [...]

When people talk about communications strategies, all too often the article or presentation takes one of two paths: launching into a hugely complicated discourse on the philosophies of management systems and their communication components; or taking an even more detailed stroll through the latest ‘bits-n-bytes’ of a gadget or technology system that will do it [...]

Given the heavy time demands of most businesses, it can be hard to find time to commit to taking even a short break from the office in order to attend an internet marketing seminar. With so many distractions and urgent situations awaiting attention, you might wonder how anyone makes time for [...]

Courier jobs by their very nature demand a lot of time on the road away from home. For many, it’s one of the main reasons they go into the job in the first place. All that time to yourself, not having to be stuck in an office and the freedom of the open road can be [...]

Courier jobs involve a lot of time on the road. There’s usually a fair few hours spent listening to the radio or your favourite CDs, or even playing games to pass the time. But with all that free time to yourself, you could be doing something that many people dream of doing but don’t get [...]

In the swinging sixties, Nancy’s Cafe in East Anglia’s Cley was the place to be. However, the tiny cafe in a picturesque part of the British countryside wasn’t part of the singing, dancing free-love revolution, but rather a bustling hang-out for twitchers. Bird-spotters used to flood the phone-lines with news of rare spottings or congregate [...]

Communications strategies aren’t just the domain of the business and technology worlds. Every day in so many ways, whether we are aware of it or not, we use communications strategies in order to properly manage our lives.
Education is a sector in which effective communications strategies are vital to the smooth running of both administrational and practical [...]

With the advent of text messaging pagers are less-common in our schools and workplaces these days, but on the ski slopes it appears that they’re making something of a comeback. Unlike your hi-tech smart phone with its hundreds of applications designed to entertain and amuse your friends, on the slopes pagers can be the difference [...]

We all know the most common communications strategies that are used in our everyday life: telephones, mobile telephones, pagers, walkie-talkies, CB radios and many others that we simply couldn’t imagine doing without. But there are literally millions of different ways, both verbal and not verbal, that humans and other living creatures communicate with each other. [...]

Do you remember the first time you were given your pager? It was probably during your first week of medical school and no doubt you were delighted with the responsibility! My, how times have changed. Sure, your pager is extremely useful but it beeps so much that you’ve probably at some point entertained thoughts of [...]

While giving a mobile phone to a dog is pretty useless, unless of course you want to see it chewed to smithereens, using a pager on your pooch could be a pretty good idea. Don’t believe us? Here are a few reasons why:

Some training collars still emit an electronic correction, which, although [...]

We all know how handy a pager can be. For a start, where would emergency services be without them? But even in our day-to-day lives, the pager has become an invaluable tool to keep us connected, not only for convenience but for safety as well. But inevitably, things can get embarrassing if your pager sets [...]

By the time we humans morph into adulthood, most of us have realised that in order to get by in life to any degree of success, we need to learn how to communicate effectively – both in our working and personal lives. Many communications strategies develop naturally as we mature and become more aware of [...]

Anyone who has ever faced an emergency, been in business, or generally found themselves unable to communicate in the way they want to has probably considered the virtues of pagers. These little gems can literally save lives and their powers to do good should not be under-rated. But over the years sometimes pagers have gotten [...]

They say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, and at no point is this more obvious than where communications strategies are concerned. Relationships are rife with healthy debates about one party or other not responding, not paying attention, or even worse simply not listening. So what are the best communications strategies [...]

These days, haulage companies benefit from all sorts of new-fangled technology, which makes the lives of the drivers that little bit easier. With gadgets such as satellite navigation and mobile phones at their fingertips, the world of haulage has certainly evolved. But how did haulage companies survive in the days prior to modern technology?

The technology around pagers can be quite confusing. Most seem to emit nothing more than a quiet buzz, but fans of hospital dramas will recall often seeing doctors receive text messages through to their pagers. So what exactly do pagers do, and how many different types of pagers are there?

As humans, we’re used to considering ourselves the master-race in pretty much everything from evolution to technology; but if we delve a little deeper into the lives of some of our planet-mates, in fact, we could perhaps learn a lot from our fine feathered, furred or finned friends. When it comes to communications strategies, we [...]

In U.S. hospitals, resident doctors are frequently on call for more than 80 hours a week, and in the long-running and award winning medical drama, ER, we get a sense of this burden and strain. The hospital asks a lot of the characters in the Emergency Room, with the County General paging system constantly interrupting [...]

The communications strategies of secret agencies are in operation all around us. Huge amounts of top-level boffin brainpower are put into the creating and the cracking of codes and audio surveillance, but much of what they do is already known to us. Leonardo da Vinci practised cryptology in his writing to prevent prying eyes from [...]
