Telstra Releases Military Technology For Tradespeople

By Branko Miletic | Friday | 20/06/2008

Telstra and AvanTEC have announced a new in-vehicle broadband and mobile computer solution, which was originally designed for the military, but now being marketed to tradespeople.

These systems are tough enough to last for years, and work well in bright sunlight, dusty or humid conditions and are designed for businesses with vehicle-based employees.

The solution incorporates the General Dynamics Itronix GoBook VR-2 and high-speed wireless broadband using Telstra's Next G solution.

Ross Fielding, Executive Director, Telstra Product Management said the GoBook VR-2 in-vehicle solution is ideal for customers with a mobile workforce including field service engineers, tradespeople and contractors.

"Productivity for vehicle based employees and tradespeople is often hampered by poor job scheduling, as well as the use of old fashioned, time consuming work practices for billing systems and inventory management.

"This solution will benefit these customers by allowing them to stay connected while working in the field. It can help them to complete work faster, bill clients instantly, look up information, and order parts online," he said.

"For organisations running a field services fleet, the new vehicle based solution allows head office to directly monitor productivity, process transactions, monitor employee location, perform inventory management, and adjust schedules to optimise workloads.
