The Demands
Reliable and clear communication between drivers and dispatch is essential for the HVCC to provide these extremely beneficial services. The outdated radio system HVCC was using had constant static, making communications difficult to receive, and leading to inefficiencies and overall frustration. The HVCC turned to Hytera for help. As the industry leader in advanced digital mobile radio (DMR) technology, Hytera developed a radio solution customized specifically for the needs of the HVCC.
The Solution
“And now we realize the huge difference,” says Michele Lundberg, Director of Transportation at Hockanum Valley Community Council. “We've had static on every single call. Using Hytera, it's crystal clear like you're talking over a telephone.” Hytera outfitted HVCC's 11 buses with the DMR Tier III system featuring SmartDispatch and GPS location. The complete package included 24 X1p Executive Digital Portable Radios, 8 of the MD78XG DMRs, and a base station.
Hytera developed a radio solution customized specifically for the needs of the HVCC, clearing the airwaves of static, allowing for faster service to the elderly and disabled.
