A single button can change the way a tow fleet moves. We brought on Tony Pierce from EMCI Wireless to walk us through how Motorola WAVE PTX delivers true instant communication—push to talk with nationwide reach—so dispatch, drivers, and recovery teams stay synced without towers, repeaters, or the wait time of phone calls.

We dig into the gear that makes it work in the real world. Tony breaks down the rugged TLK 110 handheld with GPS and Bluetooth, the in-vehicle TLK 150 built for loud cabs and hands-free use, and the ultra-compact TLK 25 that pairs with Bluetooth accessories for low-profile comms. All three connect to the same cloud backbone used by the WAVE smartphone app and dispatch console, so you can form talk groups for heavy recoveries, night shifts, or regional crews and reach everyone at once with one press.

Safety and reliability sit at the center of the conversation. With GPS tracking, dispatchers can see trucks in real time, and an emergency button on the devices sends instant alerts when a scene turns risky. Audio stays clear over rotator noise and highway traffic, and encryption protects your communications. Because WAVE PTX runs on Motorola Solutions’ mission-critical platform—the same DNA trusted by public safety—you get uptime and voice quality that off-brand apps can’t match. EMCI Wireless adds live, personal support and device programs backed by 50 years of Motorola experience.

We also unpack the business side: subscription pricing per device, flexible purchase and lease options, and zero infrastructure to build or license. That means you can start with a few units, add more as your fleet grows, and avoid the hassles of sharing personal phone numbers with company contacts. Real fleets are already seeing faster dispatch, fewer missed calls, and calmer, safer recoveries.
