Many businesses and residences want some sort of two-way radio functionality, but they don’t want to get an FCC license to have it. A MURS radio is the solution. The Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) is a private, two-way, short-distance voice or data communications service for personal or business activities of the general public.
The FCC defines short distance this way: “The usual range of communications between MURS devices is less than a few miles; connecting the unit to an external antenna can extend the range to ten miles or more.” The range you actually achieve could be far less depending on your surroundings and height of receiving and transmitting antennas.
