Success Story

Project Manager Productivity

Challenge

One of the world’s largest engineering and construction firms needed a scalable, reliable communication system to support large-scale, high-risk construction projects with thousands of workers on-site, where safety, efficiency, and instant coordination were critical.

Solution

They implemented Motorola Solutions’ WAVE PTX broadband push-to-talk service, enabling instant, nationwide communication across devices and teams, including smartphones and two-way radios, and without the need for traditional radio infrastructure.

Results

The firm achieved enhanced on-site safety, faster coordination among dispersed teams, and improved operational efficiency to streamline communication across expansive, dynamic work environments.

Challenge

An architecture and engineering firm needed field-ready devices for site surveys and environmental assessments in remote locations with limited connectivity and unpredictable terrain.

Solution

Panasonic TOUGHBOOK 2-in-1s were chosen for their portability, durability, and GPS capabilities, supporting data collection and digital mapping in the field.

Results

Field teams captured high-quality data in real time and shared it with office staff instantly, cutting turnaround time on assessments and eliminating delays caused by hardware breakdowns or connectivity gaps.

Challenge

A commercial construction firm needed a durable mobile computing solution for project managers and field engineers working in unpredictable outdoor environments.

Solution

They implemented Panasonic TOUGHBOOK laptops with daylight-readable screens and long battery life to support blueprints, communications, and inspections in the field.

Results

The rugged devices allowed project teams to stay connected and productive regardless of conditions, helping projects stay on time and within budget with fewer delays from technology disruptions.

What TOUGHBOOK is best for construction sites?

Use BAYCOM’s “Find Your TOUGHBOOK Solution” tool to identify the right rugged laptop or tablet based on your use cases, connectivity requirements, and mounting needs. 

Can radios and TOUGHBOOKs withstand tough job site conditions?

Yes. Both are engineered for the harshest environments. BAYCOM’s Motorola radios are built to MIL-STD specs for dust, water, shock, and drop resistance, performing reliably in mud, rain, and high-vibration conditions. Panasonic TOUGHBOOK computers meet equally rigorous standards, delivering dependable performance for data access, reporting, and communication in any job site scenario.

How can radios & TOUGHBOOKS improve site coordination and productivity?

Together, they deliver instant, reliable communication and critical data access. Motorola radios provide push-to-talk connectivity between field crews, crane operators, site managers, and office teams to speed up decisions, reduce delays, and enhance jobsite safety. Panasonic TOUGHBOOK computers keep teams connected to plans, permits, and real-time updates, ensuring work stays on track from start to finish.

Do BAYCOM radios support hands-free use or hearing protection?

Yes. BAYCOM offers headsets and Bluetooth® accessories compatible with hard hats and PPE. They’re ideal for crane operators, riggers, or tradespeople working in high-noise areas.

What safety features do BAYCOM radios and systems support?

Emergency alerts, lone-worker monitoring, GPS tracking, and man-down detection allow site supervisors to respond quickly to incidents, improving worker protection and OSHA compliance.

Can BAYCOM support large or multi-phase builds?

Definitely. BAYCOM designs scalable systems using LTE, Wi-Fi, and repeaters to provide coverage across vertical structures, large yards, and distributed teams, ensuring every phase stays connected.

How do TOUGHBOOK laptops and tablets help on-site?

Panasonic TOUGHBOOKs are engineered for jobsite conditions — drop-tested, water-resistant, and glove-operable. Use them to view blueprints, fill out digital forms, capture jobsite photos, or access project management software like Procore or AutoCAD in the field.

Can TOUGHBOOKs be mounted in construction vehicles?

Yes. BAYCOM offers vehicle mounting solutions for TOUGHBOOKs used in trucks, cranes, or site trailers. Crews can input data, access plans, and track equipment from wherever they are without leaving the cab.

What service and support does BAYCOM offer during long-term builds?

BAYCOM offers SystemGuard for maintenance and technical support, plus on-site services, project redeployments, and rentals. You’ll always have the right tools that work reliably, from groundbreaking to final walk-through.
