WAVE OnCloud: Optimize Construction Communication

To be able to communicate nationwide in a moment’s notice, with crystal-clear sound on a reliable network—isn’t that the dream? Construction work is no walk in the park. You’re crunched for time, managing dozens of employees who are themselves operating dangerous and loud equipment, and you’re usually scrambling for parts and materials that can sometimes be difficult to acquire without extending your project deadline.

We understand this struggle—it’s something we hear a lot from our construction clients looking to optimize communication, improve productivity, and increase safety. Many of them had previously used Nextel push-to-talk phones and have been waiting for the replacement to come. Thankfully, the time is here, and Motorola’s new WAVE OnCloud application and two-way radios can give you everything you loved about Nextel—and more.

WAVE OnCloud App for Construction Projects

Two-way radios are the ultimate communication tool, and our construction clients agree. Two-way radios allow for quick, instant communication with anyone on your channel and network. But what if you could extend that to any device? And across any carrier?

Thankfully, you can with WAVE OnCloud. The Motorola WAVE OnCloud app can be downloaded onto any smartphone, tablet, or desktop to work together with the WAVE two-way radios. With 4G LTE service, built in location services, real-time presence sharing, PTT communications, text, photo, and video sharing, you can actually have it all.

No matter what smartphone or carrier your employees have, they can all utilize the WAVE OnCloud app wherever they are. With PTT across a fleet of smartphones and two-way radios, you can help your team stay connected.

When you work in a time-sensitive industry, you also need your communication tools to work efficiently and quickly. A two-way radio is the best option for those on site. But sometimes, you need to communicate with a colleague who’s in the office or out on the road. With the WAVE OnCloud app, you can still use your radio to communicate with them, which keeps you working and minimizes costly downtime.

The app gives you the ability to monitor all of your workers out on the road and physically see where they are on a map all at once. If one of your crew members needs help, you can locate the nearest crew member and send them to assist. If a truck breaks down, you can know right away where they are without the driver having to send their location. This greatly increases efficiency and productivity to keep your projects on track.

Real-Time Collaboration

WAVE also lets you add in any subcontractors and suppliers you work with to your talk groups to collaborate with them just as quickly as you do with your employees. If you need something quickly, don’t worry about searching through your contacts to make a call—use the PTT feature and get what you need immediately.

With the ability to connect different groups to your WAVE OnCloud app, you can even take bids for what you need to make sure you’re getting the best deal. And because your devices are all in one group, and communicating quickly, you won’t have to worry about any productivity loss. You’ll save time and get back to work faster than you would’ve in the past, with your equipment and materials on the way.

The WAVE TLK 100 Two-Way Radio

Don’t be fooled by the OnCloud app—our WAVE two-way radios still have every feature and accessory that you’ve come to love in our Motorola two-way radios. Each WAVE radio is durable and able to handle any job on any work site. Moreover, the battery is built to last the entire shift, so you never have to worry about charging or replacing while on the job.

The radios are powerful but built with a slim design to make carrying and storing them easier. With national location tracking, you can always know where your team and equipment are to better manage safety and productivity. The WAVE two-way radio can come with a variety of audio accessories for hands-free or confidential communications. As with any digital radio, the WAVE is built to deliver loud and clear audio, regardless of background noise, to make sure your message is heard.

With the durable WAVE TLK 100 two-way radio, you can better ensure your workers’ safety and stay in constant contact.
