Transportation & Fleet Communications

Connected from the yardto the end of the route.

Westcan designs communication systems for trucking, logistics, public transit, municipal fleets and service vehicles—combining mobile radio, satellite PTT, connected-vehicle networking and professional installation.

Built for fleets that cannot afford communication gaps

Every fleet operates differently. Westcan builds around the vehicles, routes, sites and people involved.

01

Trucking & Logistics

Connect drivers, dispatch, terminals, yards and maintenance teams across regional and long-haul operations.

02

Public Transit

Support operators, supervisors, control centres, maintenance and passenger-facing onboard systems.

03

Commercial Delivery Fleets

Keep drivers, dispatch and operations teams connected across scheduled routes, deliveries and changing priorities.

04

Municipal Fleets

Coordinate public works, roads, sanitation, parks and mobile crews through a common communications platform.

05

Service Vehicles

Keep technicians, field service teams and dispatch connected throughout changing daily assignments.

06

Remote Operations

Extend group communication into mountain corridors, forestry roads and northern routes beyond terrestrial coverage.

One coordinated fleet

The vehicle is part of the communications network.

A modern fleet may need more than one connection. Mobile radio provides fast operational voice. Satellite PTT covers remote routes. Rugged cellular routers connect onboard applications, cameras and passenger or staff Wi-Fi. Westcan brings those elements together around the way the fleet actually works.

01

Immediate operational voice

Reach one driver, a dispatch group or the entire fleet without placing individual calls.

02

Connected onboard systems

Provide reliable WAN connectivity for tablets, ticketing, cameras, telemetry and other vehicle applications.

03

Coverage beyond the highway

Add satellite group communication where cellular and land-mobile radio infrastructure does not reach.

Voice, data and remote-route coverage—designed as one fleet system.Westcan supports the equipment inside the vehicle and the infrastructure behind it.
Operational communication

Move information as quickly as the fleet moves

The right communication path helps dispatch and field teams act before a small disruption becomes a larger operational delay.

01

A change is reported

A driver identifies a route issue, mechanical concern, safety hazard or delivery delay.

02

Dispatch receives it directly

The appropriate dispatcher or workgroup hears the update without waiting for a phone call to connect.

03

Resources are coordinated

Maintenance, supervisors or nearby vehicles can be redirected with clear shared information.

04

The fleet keeps moving

Updates are confirmed and the remaining operation continues with fewer unnecessary delays.

Fleet technology

Communication built into the vehicle

Choose the right combination of radio, satellite and broadband connectivity for urban fleets, regional routes and remote operations.

Icom Satellite PTT

Group communication beyond terrestrial coverage

The Icom IC-SAT100 handheld and IC-SAT100M mobile use the Iridium satellite network for one-to-many push-to-talk communication. Drivers and remote teams can communicate as a group in areas where cellular service and land-mobile radio infrastructure are unavailable.

Ericsson Cradlepoint Vehicle Connectivity

Rugged LTE and 5G networking for the connected fleet

Purpose-built Ericsson Cradlepoint vehicle routers can provide secure WAN connectivity for onboard applications, staff or passenger Wi-Fi, cameras, tablets, telemetry and operational systems. Exterior and interior form factors support different vehicle and deployment requirements.

Dispatch Integration

Give dispatch a clear view of fleet communication

A fleet radio system is only as useful as the control point behind it. Westcan can support dispatch consoles, base stations, remote access, audio recording and integration with existing radio infrastructure.

Remote transportation

Coverage does not always follow the road.

Western Canadian fleets often travel through mountains, forestry roads, northern communities and long rural corridors. Westcan can combine terrestrial radio, cellular connectivity and satellite PTT so the communication plan reflects the actual route—not just the city limits.

Mountain Highways

Plan for terrain, shadowing and long stretches where commercial cellular coverage is inconsistent.

Forestry & Resource Roads

Support vehicles operating beyond public networks and outside traditional urban radio infrastructure.

Northern & Rural Routes

Maintain a group communication option for isolated routes, seasonal work and remote communities.

Supporting infrastructure

Everything around the radio matters

Reliable fleet communication depends on the installation, antenna system, dispatch environment and RF design behind the equipment.

01

Vehicle Installations

Secure mounting, power connections, microphones, speakers and cable routing designed around the vehicle.

03

Repeaters & RF Systems

Extend communication across terminals, municipalities, regional corridors and operational sites.

04

Fleet Rollouts

Standardize programming, installation and user setup across multiple vehicle types and locations.
