Business must cut costs and increase efficiencies to compete. Wireless
communications provides the ability to track and dispatch
employees in real time. Work groups are able to assist one
another in a team effort using mobile communications. Today's
rising fuel costs makes efficient use of mobile employees
more important that ever.
Employees in the field can often assist each other with information
when they use their two way radio. Unlike cell phones and
push to talk phones, two way radios allow the group to hear
each other and be aware of each other's situations. Often
one employee might suggest a route to a location or the solution
to a service problem.
This "work group" aspect of two way radio is often
not recognized for its usefulness until a business switches
to cell phones and realizes it has lost the team's open line
to each other.
Cell phones or push to talk phones may be a supplement to
radios but are often a weak substitute for an active work
group.
