When your team is split between radios and smartphones, communication gaps can slow everything down. That’s especially true for transportation and construction teams, where clear, instant coordination is essential to keeping schedules on track and operations safe.
If your drivers and crew members are using different devices and systems, Motorola WAVE offers a solution that brings everyone onto the same channel—literally.
What Is Motorola WAVE?
Motorola WAVE is a broadband push‑to‑talk (PTT) service that connects phones, radios, computers, and tablets. With the WAVE PTX Mobile App, your team can turn smartphones and tablets into push-to-talk devices—giving them instant voice and multimedia communication with radio users and other app users alike.
Whether you're in the office, on the road, or at a jobsite, WAVE keeps your team in contact with real-time voice, text, and location sharing.
Solving the Communication Divide
Many transportation and construction teams face the same challenge: Part of the crew is on two-way radios. Others are using phones. Coordination is difficult and time-consuming, especially when managing multiple sites or mobile units.
WAVE bridges this divide with features that include:
-
Instant communication with voice, text, and location sharing
-
Nationwide coverage that connects crews across job sites, regions, or even states
-
Support for multimedia—share texts, photos, videos, and file attachments in real time
-
Scalability that lets you add users as your needs grow
-
Interoperability with the equipment and devices your team already uses
-
Group and private calling options across devices and networks
By integrating teams across platforms, WAVE helps eliminate the silos that slow down your operations.
Built for Mobility and Flexibility
Motorola WAVE gives you the flexibility to use what works best for your team. It supports:
-
Android and iOS smartphones
-
Tablets
-
Desktop computers
-
Devices connected via your wireless carrier
This means you can combine the durability of radio with the convenience of smartphones—without switching platforms or investing in new hardware.
WAVE is also subscription-based, allowing you to scale your communications solution as your team grows or your needs change. It’s designed to fit the way your organization works.
Use Case: Coordinating Crews on the Move
Let’s say your dispatchers are using computers, your drivers have smartphones, and your jobsite foremen are using radios. With WAVE, they can all talk to each other instantly.
A dispatcher can send a voice call or message directly to a foreman’s radio or a driver’s phone and receive a response in real-time. There’s no delay, no app-switching, and no need to relay messages through multiple people. Everyone stays informed and connected.
That means faster decisions, fewer mistakes, and a smoother workflow.
