Construction personnel are, by the nature of their role, people on the move, not only around the site but between sites. Providing them with voice and messaging services ensures efficient communication and immediate access to information across the entire organisation.
Enable workers to communicate on standard mobile phones.
Use of a Private Mobile Network (PMN) supports the need to move offices or set up temporary ones without the heavy costs for installation of temporary phone lines or the high call cost associated with the use of mobile phones on a macro mobile network.
The PMN enables workers to communicate on standard mobile phones as on-site PBX extensions with no charge for calls between users and the ability to break out into the PSTN or Intranet if required through broadband lines or satellite connections. Text messages are also free within the site coverage area; an advantage when staff need to communicate in noisy environments.
When moved to the next project, the construction company can simply take the private mobile network with them and at the new site communications up and running within minutes. The savings in speed of kicking off projects in an industry where downtime is a huge cost drain will easily cost justify the purchase and deployment of PMN solutions.
