Scenario:

A windscreen replacement company operates a fleet of nine service vans from a depot in Norwich. They need voice communications over an area of approximately 30 miles radius of their depot.

Solution:

The company have purchased and installed equipment using our FleetLink MPT1327 trunked system. They can communicate from the depot to individual service engineers or to all engineers as a group throughout their area of work. The system has been configured so that the service engineers can only call the depot with mobile-to mobile calls being restricted. On return to his vehicle an engineer is alerted to any missed calls.
