Top Three Motorola VHF Mobile Radios for the Transportation Industry
Canada is the second largest country on earth, and its transportation system reflects this. The country has more than 1,400,000 kilometres of roads, 10 major international airports, 300 smaller airports, 72,093 km of rail and more than 300 commercial ports and harbours that provide access to the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans as well as the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway.
To connect them all and ensure both people and goods move effectively and safely between destinations, Canada relies on the transportation sector – combining the truck transportation, courier and taxi industries – which in turn relies on mobile two way radios to facilitate effective communication country-wide.
Communication Demands for the Transportation Industry
All transportation systems – including trucks, couriers and taxis – rely heavily on communication to conduct day-to-day operations. Fleet schedules need to be coordinated, inventory tracked, employees scheduled, passengers and deliveries have to be on time and maintenance and repairs have to be reported and carried out.
Sometimes, different modes of transportation have to be coordinated to ensure a delivery gets from point A to point B. A single transportation system has to be kept organized and safe, but the complexity increases when different transportation modes are required and are managed by different agencies. Add to this any complications due to weather and external variables, and problems can compound very quickly.
Effective communication for the transportation industry is vital, as is the protection of valuable and potentially dangerous cargo, not to mention the security and safety of employees and passengers. Mobile two way radios meet these needs, and helps the transportation industry stay connected across the country.
