Sonetics Is Best For
Construction & equipment crews
Construction & equipment crews
Keep operators, spotters and crew leaders in a live conversation during coordinated work around equipment. Choose a system sized for everyone who needs to participate. Use live instructions for positioning, material handling and changing site conditions, so your crew can respond without reaching for a handheld radio. Plan ComHub placement around obstructions.
Manufacturing, fabrication & wood processing
Manufacturing, fabrication & wood processing
Help teams coordinate machine-area work, material movement and production tasks while keeping hands free. Select hearing protection and fit for your actual work environment. Use continuous conversation to explain handoffs, confirm material placement and coach new operators without repeated walk-backs. Check equipment noise, protective equipment compatibility and local communication coverage before deployment.
Public works, utilities & maintenance
Public works, utilities & maintenance
Bring portable team communication to roadwork, maintenance and field operations. DECT7 team audio works locally without depending on Wi-Fi coverage. Keep field crews connected while moving between vehicles, tools and work positions. Position the ComHub for coverage and plan battery charging around each shift.
Tree care & landscaping crews
Tree care & landscaping crews
Keep climbers, ground crews and equipment operators in the same conversation during tree care, brush handling and landscape work. Share positioning instructions and changing conditions without reaching for a handheld radio. Match headset fit to required protective equipment, check ComHub coverage around trees and structures, and follow your established worksite procedures.
Existing Sonetics teams
Existing Sonetics teams
Choose an individual APX377 or APX379 as a spare, replacement, or added headset within your compatible base station's capacity. Check compatibility before ordering. Match new headsets to your installed hardware and available user connections. Plan charging, storage and pairing in advance so additions are ready for the next workday.
Sonetics vs. Other Communication Solutions
Choose the communication method that fits your crew's noise level, workflow and coverage needs. Sonetics is designed for ongoing team conversation while work continues.
| What matters on the job | Sonetics wireless team system | Typical push-to-talk radios | Phone call + Bluetooth headset | Hearing protection + hand signals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conversation | Full-duplex team talk: speak and listen together through a compatible base. | Usually one speaker at a time on a shared channel; press to transmit. | Calls can be full duplex; group access depends on the calling app or service. | No shared voice channel; instructions depend on visibility and agreed signals. |
| Hands on the task | Normal team conversation is hands-free; optional external-radio use can require PTT. | A transmit button is normally used; VOX and hands-free accessories vary by model. | A connected call can be hands-free; answering and managing calls may need device interaction. | Hands may need to leave the task to signal; coworkers must see the signal. |
| Hearing protection | Apex headset options combine rated hearing protection with team audio and Listen-Through. | Depends on the selected hearing-protection headset or accessory. | Ordinary consumer headphones are not a substitute for rated hearing protection. | Rated protection can reduce noise, but does not itself provide voice communication. |
| Connection requirements | Local DECT7 team audio works without Wi-Fi or cell service; requires a compatible base and coverage. | Conventional on-site radios use radio coverage; cellular PTT products use their specified network. | Remote calls require cellular or internet service; the headset also needs its local device connection. | Requires line of sight for visual signals; no battery-powered voice link. |
| Best working style | Continuous coordination among operators, spotters and crews in a shared work area. | Brief dispatch messages, check-ins and one-to-many updates. | Calls with people outside the work area and occasional remote conversations. | Simple, pre-agreed visual instructions where everyone can maintain a clear view. |
| Planning considerations | Size the base for active users, check fit and site coverage, and plan charging. | Check coverage, channels, licensing where applicable and compatible accessories. | Check coverage, call management, battery life and workplace hearing-protection requirements. | Agree signals, maintain visibility and establish another method for complex instructions. |
This compares typical solution categories, not every available model. Features vary by equipment and configuration. Sonetics' stated DECT7 range is up to 1,600 feet with line of sight; obstructions and placement affect actual coverage. Select hearing protection based on fit and workplace requirements.
Sonetics FAQs
What are Sonetics wireless communication systems?
What are Sonetics wireless communication systems?
Sonetics systems combine wireless headsets, a ComHub or base station, and charging equipment to keep work teams connected. Full-duplex audio lets people talk naturally while their hands stay on the job. Apex hearing-protection headsets also offer adjustable Listen-Through for environmental audio, with system options for different crew sizes and work environments.
Which Sonetics system should I choose?
Which Sonetics system should I choose?
Choose the 3-user system for a small crew, the 5-user system for a five-person team, or the 10-user system for a larger crew. Count everyone who needs a simultaneous connection, including supervisors and spotters.
Does an individual headset work without a ComHub?
Does an individual headset work without a ComHub?
A compatible Sonetics DECT7 ComHub or base station is required for wireless team communication. The individual headset listing does not include a ComHub or system charging case.
Can everyone speak and listen at the same time?
Can everyone speak and listen at the same time?
Yes. Full-duplex team audio allows a natural group conversation within the installed ComHub capacity, without pressing a button for normal team talk. Optional two-way radio operation may still require push-to-talk.
Do I need Wi-Fi or cellular coverage?
Do I need Wi-Fi or cellular coverage?
The local DECT7 team connection does not require Wi-Fi or cell service. Calls made through an APX379's paired phone depend on that phone and its service.
What wireless range can I expect?
What wireless range can I expect?
The stated DECT7 range is up to 1,600 feet with line of sight. Buildings, terrain, equipment and ComHub placement affect actual coverage. Bluetooth is a separate local connection, with a stated maximum of about 33 feet.
Do these headsets provide hearing protection?
Do these headsets provide hearing protection?
APX377 and APX379 headsets have a 24 dB Noise Reduction Rating. Effective protection depends on correct fit and use. Adjustable Listen-Through lets you bring in environmental audio without removing the headset.
How long do the batteries last?
How long do the batteries last?
Headset runtime is up to 24 hours under the manufacturer's stated conditions, with approximately four hours to recharge. ComHub runtime differs by model; review the selected system's specifications when planning longer shifts.
Can I add more headsets later?
Can I add more headsets later?
The 3-user kit's five-user ComHub has capacity for two more simultaneous users. The 5-user kit fills its five-user ComHub; the 10-user kit fills its ten-user ComHub. Beyond those capacities, plan compatible base hardware and charging before expanding.
Can I use my two-way radio or hard hat?
Can I use my two-way radio or hard hat?
Radio integration requires compatible equipment and the appropriate radio-specific cable. Hard-hat adapters are sold separately. Contact Tolutions Supply to confirm your radio model, fit requirements and system configuration.
