WAVE PTT for Construction

Construction: Jobsite Tough

Smartphones aren’t built for construction sites. Workers need a tough device that can withstand dirt, dust and falls; the ruggedness of TLK Series radios provide an ideal communications solution for construction. Designed to perform in harsh working environments, regardless of rain, dust, extreme temperatures, or the occasional drop, TLK Series radios offer loud, clear audio in any environment.

Whether the next job is across the street, across the city, or across the country, these radios are ready to work wherever you are. Employees can travel from the jobsite to the road to the office, without losing instant connection to their teams. Plus, with the WAVE PTX SafeGuard Package, dispatchers can create talk groups based on location, so you can communicate with exactly the people you need to without constantly interrupting those you don’t.

Now workers can easily coordinate deliveries of equipment and supplies, quickly get an answer from headquarters, or instantly conduct an ad-hoc discussion with everyone on site, even when using heavy gloves. With one device that can do everything your workers need, you can streamline your technology and do away with the complexity of using multiple devices during the work day.

Some of the Benefits of Push-to-Talk Over Cellular Technology for Construction Include:

  • GPS Mapping and Location Services Allow You to View Users on a Map and See Their Status
  • Communicate at the Touch of a Button between Android, iOS and LMR Users
  • Instantly Connect with a Group or Individual with Multimedia Communication with Critical Information
  • Web-Based Dispatch Features Clear, Consistent Communications and Location Tracking
  • Real-Time Presence Allows You to Accurately Estimate Arrival and Departure Times as well as Who is Available or Offline
  • Unlike a two-way radio system, WAVE PTX™ does not require an FCC license.

Staying Competitive Means Maximizing Efficiency and Minimizing Costs

Whether your operation involves general industrial construction, commercial and residential construction; infrastructure projects like roads, highways, bridges and tunnels; or you are an electrical, plumbing, carpentry or HVAC professional, you can communicate instantly with team members across the country at multiple job sites, facilities and operations without needing to set up or maintain a complicated infrastructure at the push of a button with WAVE radios.

Keep your projects on track through better coordination of foremen, subcontractors and individual tradespeople. Address the daily challenges of worker safety. Meet the pressure to finish projects faster, avoid costly mistakes and protect your profit margins. With WAVE radios, contractors can benefit from features such as location tracking and Wi-Fi calling, or the rugged design without an attention-diverting screen.

Expand Users and Extend Coverage

Do you need the ability to communicate with existing on-site radio systems from anywhere in the country? Upgrade your WAVE PTX™ subscriptions, allowing the ability to connect your MOTOTRBO system to either WAVE PTX™ smartphone users or Motorola's WAVE Nationwide Network.

WAVE PTX™ LMR Interoperability complements and extends the coverage provided by an LMR network, facilitating cross-network communication by delivering group or one-to-one voice communications at the push of a button from any location. For those who cannot or will not carry a two-way radio, Broadband PTT and LMR Interoperability from WAVE PTX™ opens a new world of connectivity by making it possible for Broadband PTT users to seamlessly communicate with those who do carry radios.

For example, a Construction supervisor on a job site in Los Angeles needs immediate information from an architect who is traveling on business or work crews will be sitting idle. Using his MOTOTRBO radio and LMR Interoperability, the supervisor contacts the architect on her smartphone running Broadband PTT, gets the answer and keeps the job on schedule.
