walkie talkies
Two-way radio pair
A walkie talkie is a two-way, handheld radio, typically battery-operated, that lets people who are on the same frequency communicate with each other.
Walkie talkies are often used for communication in remote areas, or by people such as soldiers or police officers whose hands are otherwise occupied and who need to communicate with a central command or dispatch.
