In a single competition, dozens of positions—referees, timekeepers, check-in staff, medical teams, security, and more—operate simultaneously on and off the track. The moment the starting gun fires, every link must work together seamlessly.
But there is a long-standing challenge in venue communications: once the athletes have run off, the staff are still back at the starting point; the referees are at the finish line, while the starting point is still waiting for instructions. Mobile phones often fail to get through in crowded areas, and ordinary walkie-talkies suffer from cross-talk once there are too many channels. If a single wrong command is shouted at a critical moment, both results and order can be thrown into chaos.

A few days ago, a race operations manager came to us, saying he wanted to find a walkie-talkie suitable for on-site scheduling at competition venues—one with comprehensive functions and strong anti-interference capabilities. We recommended the Mintone UV58D.
Digital-analog integration + DMR standard, no cross-talk in venue scheduling
Competition venues have many positions and dense channels, and cross-frequency interference is the biggest concern. The UV58D adopts the DMR digital standard (time-division multiple access), with a digital-analog integrated design, supporting all-call/group call/individual call. The referee team, timing team, and medical team each occupy their own communication group. Commands are transmitted only to one's own team and will not "cross lines" with one another.

AES256 encryption, competition commands are not leaked
Competition results and scheduling arrangements are sensitive information. The UV58D supports AES256 encryption, ensuring communication content is secure and protected. There is no need to worry about eavesdropping by unrelated personnel.
Dual standby and dual watch, important information is not missed
During competitions, staff often need to monitor two channels at the same time—one for their own group's scheduling and one for notices from the overall command. The UV58D supports dual standby and dual watch, dual standby and single watch, and single standby and single watch, with free switching. One device does the work of two, so key information is not missed.
Recording + SMS, evidence to check
Disputes are unavoidable at competition venues, and result announcements and referee commands need to be documented. The UV58D supports recording and SMS functions. Important information can be replayed and traced, providing a basis for post-competition review.

GPS/BeiDou positioning, personnel locations are visible
Staff are scattered along the course, and the command center needs to know who is at which point. The UV58D supports GPS and BeiDou positioning. With scheduling software, personnel locations can be tracked in real time, making scheduling more precise.
5800mAh large battery, uninterrupted power for all-day events
A competition often lasts a whole day, from check-in to award ceremony. The UV58D comes standard with a 5800mAh large-capacity battery. Combined with high/low power selection and power-saving design, it stays powered through all-day high-intensity use.

Flashlight + off-network function, emergency backup
For evening events or sudden power outages, a flashlight is essential; when the network is abnormal, the off-network function allows walkie-talkies to still communicate directly with one another, so emergency communications are not interrupted.
In venue scheduling, communication is order. Bring the UV58D and let every command arrive accurately.
