Transportation And Logistics: Taking Instant Connectivity On The Road
Traditional two-way radio coverage only covers your facility. TLK Series radios merge the power of wide-area mobile broadband with the simplicity and functionality of a PTT two-way radio, making them ideal for trucking, shipping, towing, and other transportation and logistics companies. WAVE PTX connects all employees’ devices, from smartphones and TLK Series radios, to laptops and tablets. Drivers can instantly connect with the warehouse, including those on digital or analogue MOTOTRBO devices, with other drivers or even with a customer expecting a shipment. Dispatchers can set up location-based talk groups, so conversations can be limited to people within a specific facility or area, prioritising essential interactions.
In addition, TLK Series radios and WAVE PTX integrate with Motorola Solutions’ technology ecosystem, further automating security functions with AI and analytics. For instance, workers and security personnel can get automatic alerts on their radio or other device when a loading bay is blocked or an unauthorised visitor accesses a secure area.
Quickly Tackle Challenges on the Road Together
Your workers can reach new levels of safety and efficiency with WAVE PTX™ solutions designed for trucking operations. No matter the weather or road conditions, it’s up to you to ensure packages can be rerouted in an instant to ensure on-time arrival. Drivers need to communicate safely and with minimal distractions to keep their focus on the road. According to the Department of Transportation, texting and the use of cellular devices is prohibited for commercial drivers. Experience the Power of NOW with our trucking communications solution set to improve your employees’ safety and keep everyone – from drivers to dispatch – connected and focused on the road ahead.
Fleet Management and Delivery Operations that Go the Distance
Leverage Voice Dispatch to control your mobile workforce from a central location, so dispatchers see who is available using GPS coordinates. Use Text Messaging to send messages and directions that don’t need an immediate response or when voice calls could disrupt those in the field or on the road.
Coordinate with Your Team Instantly with WAVE PTX™ (Push-to-Talk Service)
In today’s workplace the vast majority of employees choose the smartphone they use for work, so it’s critical that you help them get instant communication with their co-workers, regardless of which devices they choose.
Now you can connect your workforce at the push of a button virtually everywhere and on almost any mobile device. Push-to-talk Over Cellular (PoC) is the push-to-talk (PTT) voice service for mobile communications. With WAVE PTX™ LMR Interoperability, you can have an all-in-one user interface designed for two-way radio users.
WAVE PTX™ (Push-to-Talk Service) is a group communication service that connects your team at the push of a button across different networks and devices nationwide.
WAVE™ radios can help you increase efficiency, safety and staff productivity, keeping your team in touch with instant communications. Unlike traditional radio, there’s no costly upfront investment required. A month-to-month plan keeps costs under control. You don’t have to worry about unknown replacement costs, either, because Motorola will replace any WAVE radio that’s accidentally damaged.
Some of the Benefits of Push-to-Talk Over Cellular Technology for Transportation Companies 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
