Clear and reliable communication is non-negotiable for businesses that operate in demanding environments. Whether it’s a construction site, a security team managing large events, or emergency responders coordinating under pressure, Tait radios deliver the performance needed to keep teams connected, informed, and safe.
Tait Communications has spent decades developing industry-leading two-way radios that provide long-range coverage, secure communication, and durability in tough conditions. Businesses across Auckland and New Zealand trust Tait radios for their proven reliability and advanced features.
Choosing the right Tait radio isn’t just about picking a model—it’s about matching the right device to your industry’s communication challenges. A transport company managing a fleet across Auckland needs GPS-enabled tracking, while construction teams on high-rise sites rely on noise-cancelling audio and rugged designs.
As an authorised Tait provider, Dove Communications helps businesses across New Zealand select, deploy, and maintain Tait radios that fit their exact needs. Here’s how to choose the right model for your team.
Why Tait Radios Are the Go-To Choice for New Zealand Businesses
New Zealand businesses require rugged, high-performance communication solutions, and Tait radios have delivered exactly that for over 50 years. Designed and engineered in New Zealand, these radios are built for demanding industries that need secure, uninterrupted, and crystal-clear communication—no matter the conditions.
Unlike consumer-grade or lower-tier alternatives, Tait radios are trusted by emergency services, transport operators, construction firms, and security teams. These industries cannot afford communication failures, making Tait their preferred choice over brands that lack the same focus on durability, security, and local industry needs.
Tait’s digital mobile radios support encrypted communication, wide-area network connectivity, and advanced noise reduction, ensuring clear audio in noisy worksites or high-pressure environments. Their rugged designs are built to withstand extreme weather, keeping teams connected in New Zealand’s toughest conditions.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Tait Radio
Industry and Business Needs
The right radio depends on how and where your team operates. Auckland’s security companies, logistics operators, and industrial teams all require different communication set-ups.
- Construction and Industrial: Radios need to be shockproof, waterproof, and dust-resistant to handle rough worksites.
- Emergency Services: Encrypted, high-security communication ensures clear and private transmissions.
- Security and Retail: Compact radios with private channels offer discreet communication in crowded areas.
- Transport and Logistics: GPS tracking and long-range capabilities keep fleet operators connected over large areas.
Analogue vs Digital: Which Tait Radio is Right for You?
Tait offers both analogue and digital radios, but more businesses are switching to digital for its clearer sound, longer battery life, and advanced features.
- Analogue radios work well for basic short-range communication but lack the clarity and security of digital models.
- Digital radios provide stronger encryption, better audio quality, and the ability to integrate with smart systems like GPS tracking.
Many Tait radios now support both analogue and digital modes, allowing a seamless upgrade path for businesses transitioning to digital.
Features That Matter for NZ Businesses
- Range and Coverage: Auckland’s urban environments require different coverage solutions than rural worksites. Choosing the right model depends on whether you need short-range or wide-area communication.
- Battery Life: Long shifts require radios that can last all day. Some models support hot-swappable battery packs to extend usage.
- Weather Resistance: Tait radios built for extreme environments are rated IP67 waterproof and dustproof, perfect for construction and outdoor industries.
- Noise Reduction: Construction sites, concerts, and warehouses demand radios with advanced noise cancellation to ensure messages are heard clearly.
- GPS Tracking and Lone Worker Safety: Fleet management and security teams benefit from real-time tracking, emergency alerts, and geo-fencing capabilities.
Selecting a Tait radio means identifying which of these features matter most to your industry.
