Using the GPRS data network has many great benefits - coverage, capacity, speed and reliability. Mobile Phone companies like AT&T Rogers and T-Mobile have spent billions of dollars building a nationwide cellular phone network which covers virtually every community in the country. GPRS uses this network so you get the same nationwide coverage. This means that your Drivers will never be out of contact, even on airport runs or other long-distance trips.
Along with the coverage comes the capacity to support millions of users - so the data requirements of even the largest taxi fleet can easily be covered.
As for speed, if you send a message to a Driver, he will usually see it in under two seconds.
And reliability is assured because these companies employ a small army of engineers on 24 hour call-out, to keep the network up and running.
That's why many fleet users - including police forces, ambulances and breakdown assistance firms - are switching away from VHF radio towards GPRS. |
GPRS is amazingly cheap, especially compared with the cost of a mobile phone call or sending a text message. You are charged for actual data usage, not for time. Xposoft CAT uses advanced data compression techniques to reduce message sizes to a minimum. As a result, the usage charges will average out under 2 cents per Job - and that includes all the messages sent back and forth while the Driver does the Job. |
