Talk about your fleetAbout Westcan ACS
Westcan ACS is a Western Canada based communications solutions provider. We work with fleet operators, trucking companies, logistics managers, and yard supervisors across Alberta and British Columbia to design and deploy radio communication systems that hold up where it counts.
We understand the transportation sector. Drivers need clear, instant communication with dispatch. Yard supervisors need to coordinate multiple teams at once. Logistics managers need a system that scales as their operation grows. We build communication systems around how transportation actually works — not a generic off-the-shelf solution.
We Serve the Transportation Sector
Alberta and British Columbia are demanding environments for transportation companies. Long hauls, remote terminals, inconsistent cell coverage, and harsh weather conditions create communication challenges that affect safety, efficiency, and the bottom line.
Westcan ACS builds communication systems designed specifically for these conditions — and for the people who keep goods and fleets moving through them.

No cell towers. No repeaters. No dead zones.
For trucking companies running routes through Northern Alberta and Northern BC, there are stretches of highway where cell coverage drops out and repeater networks don't reach. When a driver is in one of those dead zones, there's no way to reach dispatch — and that's both a safety risk and an operational gap.
The ICOM IC-SAT100M solves this. It's a satellite push-to-talk mobile radio that runs on the Iridium network — a low-Earth-orbit constellation of 66 satellites providing true global coverage, including northern corridors. It installs directly in the vehicle, and drivers operate it hands-free while they drive.
Iridium satellite network
True global coverage including northern corridors. Low-orbit design means lower latency and reliable real-time voice.
Push to talk
One-to-many PTT — dispatch reaches the full fleet with one press.
GPS tracking
Built-in GPS for fleet tracking capability.
Vehicle-mounted install
No need to step outside for a signal.
Bluetooth
Handheld Bluetooth operation so drivers stay focused on the road.
Note: An Iridium PTT service plan (monthly subscription) is required to transmit. Westcan ACS can assist with plan setup.
