What can a Motorola Dealer do for you?

For the many industries that rely on Two-Way radios to function, having a strong dealer to customer relationship is a key to success! Some of the biggest users of Two Way radios are operators of large fleets of vehicles such as taxis, transportation trucks, ambulances, and tow trucks. With this, having the right people oversee maintenance and around-the-clock service for your radios will keep your organization working!

Motorola & Kenwood, being parent companies, rarely sell directly to customers. The business model they use to satisfy customers with the best service is to allow authorized dealers to distribute the product. An authorized dealer ads a personal touch to selling and gives a face and a name to delivering great customer service for a radio system. Authorized dealers are local and can meet customers needs onsite and with quick turnaround time. Of Motorola dealers and Kenwood dealers in South Florida, Highland Wireless is one of the largest and most established. With 15 years of experience, we Service customers in Broward, West Palm, and Miami and have a great personal relationship with all of our customers!

The largest benefit to having your Motorola or Kenwood Radio system managed by an authorized dealer is having piece of mind that you are covered and supported by local people who want your business to succeed and want to grow in success with you. We at Highland Wireless use the same radios you do, and work around the clock to make sure the network is at its best.

What To Know About Radio Rentals In South Florida

co-workers talking at construction site with bulldozer behind themInstead of buying an entire collection of radios for one event, did you know you could rent two-way radios for a fraction of the cost? Many businesses and individuals choose to rent two-way radios instead of buying for a number of reasons. For instance, if you only need radios for a particular event or a certain period of time it is far more cost effective to rent radios as opposed to buying.

How many radios do you need? If you have an entire team of people on the job you may need a large number of systems. This can really start to add up cost wise, especially if you want high quality radios with GPS, Bluetooth or water resistant technologies. Your world of high tech radio options is endless, but that doesn’t mean you have an unlimited amount of money to spend. Radio rentals allow you to afford any quality radio you’d like without spending a large amount of money.

Benefits To Radio Rentals

There are so many benefits to renting two-way radios for commercial, industrial, institutional or personal use. Radios are used as the key form of communication in so many different situations and industries.

  • Radio rentals save you money because you don’t have to purchase all radios and related equipment up front. This is especially beneficial if you only need radios for a one-time event or a short period of time.
  • Renting offers an affordable way to test out two-way radios in the field and see if they work well for your intended purposes before making the investment in your own set.

The benefits of radio rentals include the benefits of two-way radios in general. Without the option to rent, many would have to find alternative ways to communicate. Radio rentals open up this reliable form of communication to so many more industries and applications.

Radio communication is proven to make any event run smoother. For one, two-way radios do not get tied up like cell phone lines, and they also take less time to connect one person to another. Two-way radios do not present the same distractions as cell phones meaning employees, vendors and other event workers are more likely to stay on task and avoid error.

Renting Two-Way Radios For Large Events

In the past we have rented radios to a huge assortment of events, including the Miami International Boat Show and the Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale Easter Service. Both of these events were massive with thousands of people in attendance. Without proper communication these events could have easily turned disastrous, but thanks to two-way radio rentals the events went smoothly, just as planned.

Radio rentals are ideal for large-scale events such as:

  • Concerts
  • Weddings
  • Holiday parties
  • Church or Temple functions (Especially during holidays when crowds are much larger.)

  • Marathon races

idrive fleet security cameraIf you are looking to increase safety, security and efficiency of all vehicles in your fleet you need the latest iDrive Fleet Surveillance Camera. There are so many different applications for the iDrive, including tow trucks, taxicabs, and any other form of transportation. No matter what industry you’re in, the iDrive Fleet Surveillance camera offers a world of new ways to safeguard your precious commodities and assets from otherwise unseen threats. In fact, it is considered one of the most technologically advanced ways you can protect your vehicles and other commercial property. 

Allow us to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about the iDrive Fleet Surveillance Cameras.

What Does The Fleet Surveillance Camera Offer? 

First and foremost, these nifty compact cameras do a lot more than offer video recording in real-time. Each iDrive camera is packed with GPS, video storage over wireless network, and smart incident detection. This camera will keep your valuables safe and your employees safe too, say for instance they are in an un-witnessed traffic accident and need proof of who or what hit them. This also grants employers the unique opportunity to see how individual members of the team react when presented with unfortunate circumstances. This offers valuable control over safeguarding your business from outsiders as well as unsafe employee practices.

Who Is The Best Candidate For This Camera?

Anyone with a fleet of vehicles is going to benefit from the iDrive camera system. Your vehicles are valuable and so are the things you transport, from monetary goods to your hardworking employees. Taxicabs, semi trucks, any sort of vehicle can be easily outfitted for heightened security with one of these high-tech recording devices. 

Is The iDrive Recording All Of The Time?

This camera is built to efficiently record events at the most crucial moments. Upon sensing an emergency the camera begins storing data recorded 15 seconds before and after an accident. This works because the camera is constantly recording but instead of saving everything, and making it rather difficult for you to identify the actual incident, the camera is programed to only save 15 seconds prior to and 15 seconds after an accident. 

As a result, managers can easily locate the important footage they need without having to go through hours of unimportant footage. Plus, this allows the footage to use up very small amounts of hard drive space. All videos are stored in the same easy to locate place. It is equally convenient to extract these videos to another platform for further use or investigation.

Does The Camera Have Wi-Fi?

The iDrive does operate on Wi-Fi when it is available. When in an area with Wi-Fi the camera will automatically record and upload the data in real time to the central home database. This means anyone at ‘home plate’ can see what is going on in real-time out on the road or in the parking garage.

Will This Camera Save Me Money?

Every investment your business makes needs to be beneficial and literally pay for itself over time, otherwise it’s not a valuable use of company assets. The iDrive fleet surveillance system pays for itself time and time again. Companies that have already installed the technology on their vehicles have experienced a great deal of cost savings in regards to insurance premiums and claims.

Since iDrive cameras are built to last a long time they won’t just save you money and hassles this year, but for many more years to come.

If you want to protect your fleet of vehicles there is no better way to do so than with the iDrive camera. Contact Highland Wireless today to set up an appointment with one of our specialists to learn more about this high-tech form of affordable security.
