An added benefit Saia offers is self-maintenance of our sites and ownership of 90% of the towers we utilize. These tower sites include extensive grounding, backup electric service and self-maintained web based GPS in-house IT engineering and web server service. This results in the highest degree of communications network availability and reliability.

Also, upcoming in the 3rd quarter will be WAVE (Motorola TRBO Anywhere) a smart phone interface that connects any “Smartphone” to your radio channel. When completed, you will be able to communicate from your smartphone to your fleet of radios as though you have an actual radio in your hand.

High system availability with a dedicated control slot to quickly access voice and data communication during busy times.

Automatic channel access as calls are queued during busy times until an open channel is available and you are automatically notified that you can complete your call.

Fast access for those who need it most as you can assign most important users in a priority status to have fast access when the system is in a high demand.
