WAVE PTX™ – communication for Shopwatch schemes

Motorola WAVE PTX™ provides Shopwatch schemes with a simple and cost-effective communication system.

What is shopwatch?

A Shopwatch scheme is a partnership where retailers unify as an independent group, that works closely with local authorities and the police to pre-empt theft, crime and anti-social behaviour in retail premises to help make shopping areas safer for both customers and staff.

How does the scheme work?

The shopwatch members communicate when they have an issue with an individual(s) and share information to seek an effective resolution to any issues that are arising. This could mean a ban for a named person(s) from all premises signed up to the Shopwatch Scheme.  A ban from local shops is very effective as it penalises the offending person from using their local shopping area.

Why Motorola WAVE PTX™?

Motorola WAVE PTX™ is a subscription based group communication service that instantly connects your team across different devices, networks and locations.

To maintain a reliable and robust two-way radio system for a Shopwatch scheme, time consuming licensing applications may have to to be administered.  In addition, costly infrastructure  may have to be deployed to provide clear and far reaching coverage.  Motorola WAVE PTX™ operates differently.  There is no licensing requirements and no costly infrastructure costs. Motorola WAVE PTX™ combines the broad coverage of a Europe-wide 3G/4G network with the ease of two-way radio communications.  The WAVE PTX radios will automatically switch to the strongest network available to ensure reliable communication.  This creates a network coverage area that is not restricted to shop boundaries but nationwide.

The WAVE PTX™ radios (TLK100), provide not only instant communication but are simple to use and built for the job.  They provide easy to use controls making communication instant and managing calls straight forward.  They have a sleek and rugged design allowing them to be handled easily but robust enough to withstand knocks and drops.

Managing the costs of the system is clear and simple.  Decide on the number of radios required and add the subscriptions.  Process complete!  There are no hidden data charges, no additional costs and no infrastructure costs.

The fleet can be managed remotely by ourselves where amendments are delivered over the air.  No downtime and no programming visits required.
