How Talkpod’s N37 public-network radio helped Foshan Public Security Bureau improve operational communication

Modern policing is rarely confined to one street, one unit or one type of task. In Foshan, a city with varied operating environments and frequent collaboration among different police branches, communication has become a central part of operational efficiency. Traditional two-way radios, limited by distance and coverage, can struggle when teams move across districts or work jointly on fast-developing cases.

The Talkpod N37 public-network trunking radio was introduced to address that problem. Designed as a simple-to-use, nationwide push-to-talk communication terminal, the N37 enables instant communication across regions through public mobile networks. With customisable shortcut keys, a 12-hour long-standby battery, a high-definition Chinese colour screen and back-end remote dispatch functions, it helped Foshan Public Security Bureau improve both field communication and centralised management.

For anti-narcotics officers involved in information tracking, cross-regional case coordination and field operations, speed matters. The N37’s side key and P1–P4 custom shortcut keys allow users to make quick individual calls and switch between groups with minimal steps. Its dual-colour injection-moulded body is built to resist pressure and wear, making it better suited to demanding law-enforcement environments where equipment is frequently handled, carried and exposed to rough conditions.

Talkpod also provided Foshan Public Security Bureau with technical support for dedicated programming configuration, GPS positioning deployment and the construction of a client-side dispatch platform. These capabilities enabled nested group settings, remote monitoring and real-time back-end voice recording. Together, they gave police commanders a clearer operational picture, faster response channels and smoother collaboration between different teams.

The value of such technology lies not in novelty, but in discipline. A good communication system reduces uncertainty. It helps the right instruction reach the right team at the right moment. It also makes large, distributed operations easier to coordinate without forcing front-line officers to rely on fragmented or improvised channels.

Whether in routine duty or critical operations, the need for instant communication is constant. Talkpod continues to build smarter, safer and more efficient communication products and dispatch solutions for industrial users, public-safety organisations, emergency command centres and transport operators. Through sustained technical development, it is helping users improve command, coordination and operational efficiency—and earning the trust of more organisations along the way.
