One-2-One adds value to radio trunking
25 October 2000
News
South African radio trunking operator One-2-One has recently undergone an organisational transformation that promises not only to deliver extensive national coverage and cutting edge technology, but also added value features such as free web messaging (www.webmsg.co.za) and a sophisticated fleet management system (www.webtrac.co.za).
Believing in One-2-One's existing client base and future growth potential, Viking Investments and Asset Management recently invested in the company and has since implemented a number of changes. As a two-way communications technology with a number of users sharing a common pool of frequencies, radio trunking boasts a number of advantages when compared with conventional radio systems. In addition to One-2-One being equipped to provide the same advantages as a sophisticated cellular radio communications network, the company is also able to provide users with 'Extended Data Messages' which are 100 ASCI characters in length and rapidly sent across the network.
"By creating an internet gateway into our system we are also able to offer clients a web fleet management system called WebTrac, empowering fleet managers, business operators and emergency services with the capability of effectively managing their vehicles via the Internet with realtime tracking and emergency tracking every 1 to 5 min," says Leon de Wit, Director, One-2-One.
Technology used includes Nokia's Actionet system - the recognised worldwide leader in public access radio technology. "We've used Nokia's Actionet system as Nokia is a leading supplier of MPT 1327 and has delivered its MPT 1327-based Actionet system to numerous customers in more than 40 countries. MPT 1327 is the most widely used open trunked mobile radio standard in the world. In Latin America, Nokia has implemented Actionet systems in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico. It provides superb functionality and features which bring added value to subscribers," adds de Wit
"In addition to Actionet holding the market-leading position in MPT 1327 standard trunked mobile networks, the system demonstrates the reliability required in large operations. With current coverage in Gauteng, Cape and the Eastern side of SA the national roll out is underway and will result in extensive coverage throughout southern Africa by 2000," concludes de Wit.
