Instant Construction Site Networking

Meet Foreman Jeffries


Mr. Jeffries company employs him to run and manage large scale construction projects nationwide. It falls to him to ensure the safety of all personnel and make sure all projects are completed on deadline. In order to do that, he needs effective communication networks on site prior to the start of any work.

Current Challenge

AVOIDING JOBSITE NETWORKING DELAYS


When Mr. Jeffries arrive on site it takes time to properly set-up his construction trailer. The trailer that serves as the base of all operations at each job site. It’s network routers and antennas allow him to communicate with his teams and monitor safety and security requirements sitewide. Sometimes it takes days to setup the trailer - and other times his team arrives before his trailer does. He asked corporate for a solution that would allow for instant communications to be deployed to prevent delays and safety hazards.

Recommended Solution

INSTANTLY DEPLOYABLE COMMUNICATIONS KIT


USAT answered their call for jobsite networking solutions with their portable networking device known as the TRaCK Box. The TRaCK box is a rapidly deployable communications solution that allows 128 to 192 individual devices to access it’s WiFi connection simultaneously - with LTE failover. It’s FirstNet® and 4G LTE ready, and when preconfigured, can connect radios, cell, and VOIP phones instantly - all at the flip of a single switch. It’s built to military specifications - so it’s rugged, self contained, and highly portable with up to 48 hours battery life.


The Results

RAPID JOBSITE CONNECTIVITY


The next time Foreman Jeffries team arrived before his trailer did, he simply pulled out his TRaCK Box and flipped a switch and just like that, his team was connected via cellular radios and his project plans could be followed on his teams rugged smart devices. And one time, when the electricity went out in his trailer, we was able to restore communications to his team in seconds as opposed to minutes or hours waiting for power generators to arrive on site. Delays stemming from network connectivity virtually vanished overnight.
