You will find information on radio paging systems under this heading in Yellow™. A pager is a telecommunication device that is used for sending or receiving short text messages. A paging system is a system that is responsible for the sending and receiving of the text messages. Paging services specialise in the sale of a variety of pagers and paging systems. Yellow™ contains a comprehensive list of paging systems — radio across Australia.
A pager is also called as a beeper. A pager is a small radio receiver that uses radio frequency. There are two types of pagers depending upon the coverage area, they are, limited range pagers and wide area pagers. By using the limited range paging systems, you can send messages over a small area. The transmitter used for this purpose has very low power. Low range pagers are used in a hospital, to send messages to the doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. On the other hand, wide area paging is like a national radio broadcast.
The major advantage of a pager is the coverage. The paging service generally uses very high frequency radio signals, which can send a text message to a pager to remote areas. Hence, pagers are often used by rescue teams who operate in mountainous areas where a cell phone signal cannot reach. Another use of the paging system is in the restaurant. These systems are used to manage incoming customers. Mobile phones have made pagers less popular in the recent days.
