Taxi companies cover large metropolis areas so convenient, hands-free communication is a must-have. While on the road, taxi drivers may need to send and receive messages to dispatchers or other drivers. However, using a phone on the road is both unsafe and unprofessional.
That being said, many walkie-talkies are unreliable, so you need to make sure that drivers within a taxi company have a reliable and easy-to-use alternative to communicate. And, having a two-way radio that is “push-to-talk” is a safer way to communicate.
Peak PTT Two-Way Radios
Peak PTT provides highly reliable and easy-to-use push-to-talk two-way radios for businesses. Below, we’ll go over some of the advantages of using Peak PTT two-way radios for taxi drivers.
Easy-to-use
Simple operation is a must-have for taxi drivers to communicate on the road. Peak PTT two-way radios are push-to-talk radios, which means drivers can communicate at the push of a button. Whereas with a cellphone you need to scroll through contacts or messages to communicate, Peak PTT radios allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road while they’re communicating, helping to reduce or eliminate distracted driving.
Reliable
Communication devices need to be reliable in order to be worth using. Cellphones often have shotty signals, and other walkie-talkies have short range. Peak PTT two-way radios are both highly reliable and long-distance so drivers will be able to send and receive messages wherever they are.
GPS tracking
GPS tracking is essential for monitoring drivers’ locations. Each Peak PTT radio has a GPS feature built into it so you can see where drivers are throughout the day.
Multiple channels
Multiple channels are very useful when managing large groups of employees. You can assign groups of drivers to specific channels so they can coordinate or notify nearby drivers of any traffic or road hazards. Furthermore, this will keep a line that the dispatcher uses open if anyone needs to communicate with them.
Reduce personal calls
Two-way radios don’t allow employees to make personal calls.
Dispatch software
Peak PTT also offers dispatch software that can allow you to interact with your radios from any PC connected to the internet. The K2 Windows Dispatch Software is easy to install and will allow you to monitor all of the radios in real time so you can see where your workers are at any time. Furthermore, the dispatcher will receive any SOS alerts for immediate response to any medical emergency.
Panic button
The Peak PTT-84G has a SOS alert/panic button, which provides a vital safety feature for taxi drivers who are driving alone and picking up passengers. When pressed, the radio will alert your dispatch center and provide the location as well.
Affordable
Peak PTT two-way radios are affordable for every taxi business, no matter the size. The pricing is per radio, per month.
