Kent County
With its new Motorola MOTOTRBO digital radio system, school bus drivers now have access throughout rural Kent County to communicate with the district’s transportation office as well as collaborate directly with the county’s first responders.
Jeff Vadakin of Magnum Electronics, a local Motorola channel partner, introduced the district to the MOTOTRBO digital radio system with increased capacity, extended range, and GPS capability. Utilizing hermesTRX GPS-based location tracking applications, the district’s Transportation Supervisor can easily identify where every school bus is at any time.
