3G / GPRS
Mobile Phone companies have spent billions of pounds building a nationwide GPRS network which covers virtually every community in the country. This means that your drivers will never be out of contact , even on airport runs or other long-distance trips.
Along with the coverage comes the capacity to support millions of users - so the data requirements of even the largest taxi fleet can easily be covered.
As for speed, if you send a message to a Driver, he will usually see it in less than two seconds.
Reliability is assured because these companies emply a small army of engineers on 24 hour call-out, to keep the network up and running. That's why many fleet users - including police forces, ambulances and breakdown assistance firms are switching away from VHF radio systems towards GPRS.
GPRS is amazingly cheap, especially compared with the cost of a mobile phone call or sending a text message. You are charged for the actual data usage, not for time. cPAQ is the only company to use advanced data compression techniques to reducemessage sizes to a minimum.
