Vertel and Ondacomms deliver wide-area radio solution for Grasshopper Environmental fleet
Vertel, Australia’s largest privately-owned telecommunications carrier, and Ondacomms, an Australian wireless communications company, have partnered to supply Grasshopper Environmental with a wide-area radio solution for its fleet vehicles. Grasshopper Environmental has supplied waste management services for over 40 years to construction, demolition & infrastructure industries, and commercial and industrial organisations, such as warehouses and manufacturing, nursing homes, medical institutions, restaurants and retail. It operates across the greater Sydney area, with bases in Arndell Park and the Blue Mountains, and is committed to environmental sustainability. Because of the size of the area their fleet covers, it needed a quality voice communications radio solution with a wide coverage area. Grasshopper Environmental approached Vertel channel partner, Ondacomms, to provide a solution.
Ondacomms partnered with Vertel to formulate a solution using Push-to-Talk over cellular (PoC) to meet these requirements. PoC is provided on a mobile device, using both mobile cellular networks and Wi-Fi networks to communicate.
