Communication Solutions For Snow Removal Businesses
1. Quick deployment of business resources
Snow removal resources are sometimes required to deploy quickly in order to bring quick relief to roads after a snow storm. Inrico PoC radios do not require expensive base stations for network reliability. They also do not require time consuming programming, as additional functionality can be deployed over the air (OTA) through the Inrico Dispatch Console.
2. Recommended Inrico models for snow removal businesses
Inrico PoC radios come in various design options suitable for various business scenarios. We recommend the use of our screenless options for snow removal businesses, as workers would only require push-to-talk (PTT), as well as the rich data features available for all our devices. Devices with screens are not recommended for snow removal businesses, as they can be distracting. Also, it may prove difficult to operate a touch screen device when working in the cold. See our best recommendations below:
