United States Distracted Driver Law

Distracted Driver Law

Respond Instantly To Safety Issues
Better-connected drivers are safer drivers. Push-to-talk two-way radios are not subject to the tight regulation governing cell phones, because they are intrinsically easy to operate – and therefore less of a distraction to drivers. So they can form the essential communication link that keeps drivers safely in touch. Drivers can avoid trouble spots, alert the office instantly if there are problems, and deal with text messages, via text-to-speech, without taking their eyes off the road. Priority voice and data communications can cut through routine transmissions to call for help in an emergency.

Integrated Bluetooth® connections avoid trailing wires and allow hands-free operation. Remote vehicle status monitoring allows fleet management teams back at the office to see if doors are open or an airbag has been deployed. Radios deliver the audio quality, coverage, battery life and built-in intelligence that help users to work confidently and safely.

  • Risk can be reduced
  • Downtime and delays can be avoided
  • Regulatory compliance can be maintained

Digital Makes Two-Way Radio Communications Better

Better Call Quality
Audio – Digital applies error correction to eliminate noise and static and preserves voice quality over a greater range so users can hear what is being said crisp and clear. Use of the AMBE+2™ vocoder further improves speech transmission quality in noisy environments while achieving spectrum efficiency.

Coverage – Digital enables users to make more calls to more places. A digital signal stays strong and clear until it reaches its maximum range. There is no deterioration in the signal, providing greater usable range in areas where two-way communication was not possible in the past.

Better Call Management
Control – A common desire amongst analog radio users is to control who receives a message and avoid broadcasting messages to a wide group of listeners. Digital makes this possible with unique IDs assigned to each radio. A user can selectively call specific individuals or groups by selecting the radio ID(s) to direct a message only to those who need the information.

Digital Radio Benefits

  • Range – Intelligible speech over a longer distance.
  • Quality – Crisp and clear, even in fringe coverage areas.
  • Capacity – Twice the capacity of analog radio in the same channel.
  • Talk-Time – Up to 40% longer battery life than analog radio.
  • Features – Increased opportunity for innovation.
