Without our snow and ice control crews, our infrastructure would be worse than useless after heavy snow and ice storms. People who live in cold climates that experience freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, and freezing rain, rely on snow and ice crews to get to work (and anywhere) safely.
While snow and ice control is an essential service in many areas of the country and world, it’s a dangerous one for the crews themselves, especially if they’re not outfitted with the best safety equipment. Even when they’re out driving in their all-terrain vehicles that are built to stand up in snow and ice, they can still lose control of their vehicle or lose visibility and end up in danger. When that happens, snow and ice crews need a reliable means of communication to get help ASAP.
That’s where PEAK PTT two-way radios come into play.
PEAK PTT Two-Way Radios Improve Safety and Communication
When a snow and ice control worker gets stuck out on the road or in a storm, things can get dangerous fast. If their vehicle dies, their lifeline that provides heat from the raging storm goes with it. The surest way for them to get help is by using a reliable, long-distance communication device like a PEAK PTT two-way radio.
PEAK PTT two-way radios utilize 4G LTE networks that provide a strong signal and virtually unlimited range. Where normal radio frequencies may give out in a heavy storm, PEAK PTT has your back.
SOS
If a snow and ice control worker is involved in a workplace injury, they may be unable to send a voice message. However, with a PEAK PTT two-way radio, at the push-of-a-button workers can activate the panic button that sends an alert out to dispatch with their exact location, allowing them to contact emergency services and get them medical assistance right away.
Peace of Mind
Drivers and dispatchers can regularly check in with one another to provide support when conditions get dangerous. Plus, dispatchers can alert drivers of upcoming hazards when they’re on the road and reroute them around danger with two-way radios.
Reliable
Communication devices aren’t worth their salt if they can’t stand up to the harsh environments workers face in the field. For that you need a rugged radio like the PTT-624 G Rugged LTE Radio that can resist moisture, particulate matter, blunt force, drops, and extreme temperatures. This radio will also send and receive clear messages even in loud environments like strong winds or heavy traffic, providing noise-cancelling technology to ensure messages are always received loud and clear.
