Nobody Designed Your Trucks’ Connectivity. You’re Paying for It Anyway.
Most utility trucks were wired one project at a time. The cost shows up as longer installs, more shop time and service calls nobody budgeted for.
What Does a Connected Truck Really Cost You?
“Every box you add to fix a gap is one more thing that can fail.”
Open the cab of almost any utility truck and you’ll see the history. A router for mobile maps. A gateway for crew Wi-Fi. A GPS unit for tracking. Each one came with its own antenna, cable and vendor.
Each piece works on its own. Together, they’re slow to install, hard to fix and expensive to keep current. Every truck in the shop is a truck that isn’t out restoring power.
The purchase price is the smallest part of the cost.
Most utilities have never added up the rest.
Our free guide shows where those hidden costs come from.
