Make no mistake, competing with cellular PTT infrastructure to provide roaming is going to be expensive risky business. AND no matter what you do their roaming is bigger.
But they have an Achilles heel...
Fortunately, the majority of dispatch operations (towing companies, plumbing etc) only need small circle coverage which can be easily handled with a single site LTR system. Clearly, these are the customers to go after. There is no way that the PTT's can go as low as you can. (they have to feed that expensive hungry for $$$ infrastructure).
Here's the business model to make money in dispatch..
1. Use our LT8R to achieve the lowest controller cost per channel ever!
Only 225.00 per channel for 8 channels in one nice tidy easy to maintain package free of network cables and providing many new features never before found in a LTR panel.
2. Offer unlimited talk time
The cost of message accounting is very expensive overall and kills your competitive edge. Simply charge a flat cost per enabled radio. (You might want to password protect the users radios to prevent cloning).
3. Cater to single site customers.
Go after the accounts that can be fully served from one site. You can of course set customer radios to use your other systems to extend range when necessary. Your call.
4. Offer better reliability and less waiting.
Customers will not tolerate down time or waiting to talk when they are frustrated and/or in a hurry.
LT8R to the rescue !!
5. Make your package a no brainer.
Make your overall package a better deal than theirs and the business will be yours.
