Every summer, firefighters are mobilized on all fronts: fighting fires, providing emergency aid, and protecting the population. Their mission becomes even more crucial during periods of extreme heat, when the risks of fires and heat-related illnesses increase significantly. Faced with these extreme conditions, firefighters redouble their efforts and rely on increasingly advanced technological tools such as the VOKKERO GUARDIAN PLUS firefighter walkie-talkie to ensure smooth and secure communication in the field.
GRIMPDAY 2025: An International Event Dedicated to Rescue and Innovation
Last June, VOGO had the privilege of meeting and exchanging with these men and women in the field during GRIMPDAY 2025 (June 4–7, 2025), held in Geneva.
This international rope rescue event brings together teams from around the world firefighters, civil protection members, military personnel, and police officers.
An ideal setting to showcase advanced technological solutions
On this occasion, VOGO presented its VOKKERO GUARDIAN PLUS audio solution, a communication system designed to strengthen coordination and safety among responders during critical missions. A true evolution of the traditional firefighter walkie-talkie, this device provides clear, secure, and hands-free communication, essential in emergency situations.
Firefighter walkie-talkie: an essential tool for emergency missions
The firefighter walkie-talkie remains a key element in the coordination of rescue operations. In situations where every second counts, reliable communication can save lives.
The VOKKERO GUARDIAN PLUS system developed by VOGO goes even further:
- Full-duplex communication for uninterrupted, interference-free exchanges.
- Secure, encrypted channels to protect sensitive information.
- Rugged and resistant to extreme conditions (heat, dust, humidity).
- Ease of use tailored to the needs of firefighters in the field.
Thanks to these innovations, VOGO puts technology at the service of everyday heroes, providing them with reliable, ergonomic tools perfectly suited to their missions.
At VOGO, we are proud to support these emergency professionals, whose courage and dedication deserve our deepest respect.
Their work, often carried out in extreme conditions, demonstrates every day the value of effective communication and the importance of high-performance equipment such as the firefighter walkie-talkie.
