Ski Resorts

1. Get nationwide reach for your PTT communications using PoC radios.

The core feature of Inrico PoC radios is their ability to connect using the abundant cellular coverage you can find throughout the country. Cellular coverage is already abundant throughout all ski hills and resorts in Canada. This creates an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity it presents in being able to harness the power of PTT on the hills.

Alternatively, if you were to use traditional two way radios on ski hills, the range is limited to line-of-sight operations only, and will not extend beyond that no matter the type of two way radio you use, even with the high-powered models.

Choose Inrico PoC radios when you need your team to harness the power of push to talk everywhere on the ski resort - on the slopes, on the chair lifts, in the buildings.

2. Get instant connectivity with no interruptions.

PoC radios do not work like traditional two way radios. They use cellular connectivity, which is then facilitated through the power of apps that provide unique identities for each individual PoC radio ensuring your networks do not suffer interference in any way.

Alternatively, when using traditional two way radios, frequencies are broadcasted in the order that they were received, and when you have too many RF communications users concurrently accessing the same channel, it can get congested. With PoC radios, you can have an unlimited number of devices trying to reach the same channel, and it will never be overcrowded.

The app is where all the magic happens. In order to activate the power of PTT on your Inrico PoC radio without interruptions, you will have to use a PTT app. While any PTT app will work on Inrico PoC radios (like Zello), we recommend the use of iConvNet, Inrico-approved PTT app to get the full benefits of Inrico PoC radios. This app will enable you set-up new devices (even remotely). Users can then gain access to the same network without limits.

3. Get quick response to emergencies when needed

Inrico PoC radios are built with an SOS button, which you can push to instantly connect to help when needed, depending on your emergency plan. Once an emergency is occurring, you want to be able to get reliable access to help when needed.

Do all members of your staff really have reliable help when they need it? Can they reach for help without delays or faulty devices to blame? People in emergencies can get much-needed respite from hearing a voice on the other end of the radio. Choose Inrico PoC radios to deliver that peace of mind you need during emergencies.

4. Coordinate effectively! Get all Inrico software and apps to obtain its full benefits.

As explained in point #2 above, getting the best out of PoC radios will largely depend on their supporting apps and software. This is where all the magic happens. Businesses who innovate are successful, and PoC radios are currently at the zenith of innovative communication solutions.

Instant one to one or one to many (group) communications

With iConvNet installed in your PoC radio, its core functionality is to enable push-to-talk (or PTT) with your assigned groups. You can also make temporary calls with individuals in your company outside of your group limits. All communications can be done in a rich manner, including: text, voice, and video.

SOS alarm

At the simple push of a button, every member of your PoC network will be alerted in the event of an emergency. This feature also allows the device in the SOS state to be effectively tracked by GPS data - visible on the dispatcher's screen, as well as on the devices of your team members to allow better coordination with emergency services. iConvNet also allows your device to be setup for man-down situations such that your device SOS alarm is automatically initiated when your phone falls to the ground or is inactive after a specified amount of time.

Recording history

Users of Inrico software (including iConvNet and Inrico Dispatch Console) can gain access to recordings of past calls. This is important to enable workers stay in the loop, so that they can replay missed calls, which stay on the system for 30 days before they are automatically deleted.

Video dispatcher

The video dispatcher feature enables members to reach the dispatcher with video calling. This can be useful when workers need to confirm tasks with the dispatcher through video in real time. Just ensure the device used is a model that has a camera. Also note that video dispatcher is only available to Industry Version users.

Geofence alerts

Geofence alerts can be setup to trigger based on GPS location information of member devices. This can be useful for confirming the timestamp of when members arrive or vacate site. The Inrico Dispatch Console, enables you to see a variety of information about the devices in your company's PoC network, allowing better informed decisions.
