RT29 | Long Range Radio for Job Site Communications

The Retevis RT29 Series combines long-range jobsite communication, rugged durability, and water-resistant protection to meet the demands of construction work.

Why Construction Site Communication Breaks Down

Signal fails to penetrate concrete
Concrete walls and steel framing block signal between floors and basements.
Budget radios are not durable
Dust, rain and daily drops take consumer-grade radios out of service.
Wrong band creates dead zones
· Crews on separate channels or the wrong band lose contact at the site edge.

Engineered For Construction Crews Connected

RT29 long range communication

Coverage Across Floors, Basements and Open Sites

Cell service drops out in deep pits, steel buildings and underground basements. The RT29 features >5W UHF/VHF (selectable), 16 channels and programmable frequencies to keep your crew connected in cellular dead zones.

Range varies by terrain and structures. 15 km requires a repeater.

Customer Reviews

Marvin Bowman
★★★★★
For pipeline inspections, these RT29 long range walkie talkies are invaluable. The signal works in remote areas, and the durable build withstands harsh outdoor conditions.
Rosalind Martin
★★★★★
Used these RT29 during a hurricane cleanup. Radios got soaked, muddy, dropped on debris. Never stopped working. VHF range kept our team connected across flooded areas. The SOS alarm helped coordinate when someone needed help. These things are tanks.
Brandon Moore
★★★★★
Our plant emergency response team needs gear they can depend on. The RT29's waterproofing and long battery are crucial during drills or real incidents. Knowing our comms won't fail is a cornerstone of our safety planning.
Jeremiah Cole
★★★★★
The high-power output on these RT29D walkie-talkies is exactly what we needed to punch through the thick steel walls of our industrial warehouse and the signal remains consistently strong no matter how many obstacles are in the way.
Landry King
★★★★★
My crew was spread out across a large solar panel array doing maintenance and I needed to talk to guys at the opposite end, the RT29 covered the distance without any repeater or extra equipment, just straight radio to radio.
Rodney Hill
★★★★★
The IP67 waterproof rating is a total lifesaver for our outdoor construction crew because we frequently work in heavy downpours and these units have been fully submerged in mud and water without missing a single beat or losing any audio quality.
Jason Lewis
★★★★★
Coordinating between cranes, trucks, and ground crew in a busy port requires clear comms. The RT29’s power handles the large, open, and metal-rich environment perfectly. It withstands the salt air and rough handling too. A vital piece of our operation.
