Motorola WAVE PTX – communication solutions for councils

Local councils are now utilising Motorola WAVE PTX.  The Highways Department in particular is responsible for a wide variety of services, such as improvements, cycle lanes, road works and gritting/snow clearance.  Teams in these areas rely on efficient wide area communications.

Several councils have been using a mixture of outdated analogue radios/systems which were costly to operate and maintain. The systems were not reliable for wide area coverage and as a result, mobile phones were being used.

Having trialled Motorola WAVE PTX, the councils have now fully adopted the group communication system and the teams using the platform have not looked back!  The TLK100, TLK150 and the PC Dispatcher are all being used and are delivering the wide area coverage that the councils require.

TLK100

This provides an easy to use, robust two-way radio with clear audio.  Operatives will be able to communicate with other team members, both at their location and also at other locations, nationwide.  They will be able to have direct dialogue with supervisors who may be positioned at Head Office.  The TLK100 is able to deliver this capability due to the wide area coverage that is available via 3G/4G.

TLK150

Maintenance vehicles can also be provided with instant communication via the deployment of the TLK150.  This provides personnel with nationwide coverage if needed and the ability to communicate safely at a push of a button.  No time is lost when moving between sites or to and from Head Office.  Instructions and updates can be safely delivered while on the move!

Dispatch

Motorola WAVE PTX Dispatch provides the centralised communication point.  The Dispatcher can log in from any PC.  They will be able to communicate with the entire team at multiple sites.  Individual calls can be made along with group calls aiding allocation of resource and ensuring any incidents are shared.  For both the management and welfare of the team, Dispatch will also locate and track team members based on real time location.

Motorola WAVE PTX has made such a significant difference for council communication.. With the ability to both easily scale and hire, new contractors are also taking on WAVE PTX devices making their operations joined up and more efficient.
