Nationwide / Push-To-Talk Over Cellular PoC Two-Way Radios For The Taxi Industry

Released On 4th Aug 2022

Look no further than Connect Plus for a revolutionary, push-to-talk over cellular taxi radio system. Reliable wide-area communication that uses the existing 4G LTE network or WiFi via your smartphone, a dedicated device or two-way radio. 

Taxi companies can cover large areas; a reliable, wide-area communication system that can be operated from an office computer, a vehicle, or even a smartphone is therefore critical to the industry.

Connect Plus is a state-of-the-art, Push-to-Talk over Cellular solution. It’s the ideal platform to meet the expanding needs of the industry and its passengers, for a robust and reliable taxi communication system. 

The Connect Plus platform provides an impressive number of features, such as nationwide group communication, private individual communication, dispatch solutions, live GPS mapping / tracking and emergency alerting and mapping.

Why Use Connect Plus?

Nationwide coverage

Unlike traditional two-way radios for taxis, Connect Plus offers nationwide coverage for taxi companies. All you need is 4G LTE network coverage or WiFi. Connect Plus handheld or fixed device solutions allows drivers to transmit from anywhere in the UK, back to the office or to a group of radios out on the road. 

Low-cost features

A POC radio system allows taxi companies to benefit from low-cost features never previously available from traditional two-way radio systems.

These features can include an office dispatcher system. This allows office-based users to transmit messages to drivers via the group or individually. They can also send text messages, and view live GPS locations of drivers currently on the road. This enables the closest drivers to be easily located and tasked with jobs to give customers a faster service.

Safety features

Connect Plus offers useful safety features when used with a compatible handheld or fixed device. These include a dedicated emergency button which, when pressed, will immediately alert the dispatcher they are in trouble, along with the current GPS locations (if enabled). 

This emergency alarm can also be paired with other emergency features such as impact detection. This notifies the office dispatcher of a potential vehicle accident and enables push-to-video to show the live feed in the cab.

Effortless Communication

One very popular feature of Connect Plus is the ability to transmit easily from a device by tapping the screen once to open the channel, and then tapping the screen again to stop the transmission. This means that taxi drivers don’t need to pick up, or manually operate, any device whilst in a vehicle - it can be operated hands-free, without the need to hold a PTT button when speaking.

How taxi companies can use Connect Plus for two-way communication

Connect Plus is easy to set up and use as a flexible taxi radio system via an app, or on a range of devices that are compatible with push-to-talk over cellular technology. Below are details of the app, as well as recommended handheld and fixed vehicle devices.

1.  App Only
   One of the most popular options for taxi drivers is to download the low-cost Connect Plus app on their existing smartphone device, turning it into a virtual two-way radio.
2.  Dedicated Push-To-Talk Handheld Option
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Using a dedicated handheld push-to-talk device allows greater level of flexibility and also allows the driver to take the device out of the vehicle should they need to. We recommend this RugGear RG360 Rugged Android Push-To-Talk Over Cellular handheld device.

3. Fixed Vehicle Push-To-Talk Over Mobile Option
   

A fixed vehicle push-to-talk mobile device provides the look and feel of a traditional two-way radio but all the benefits of our Wide Area Connect Plus system. We recommend this Inrico TM-7 Plus 4G / Wi-Fi Mobile Network Radio
