Tait T2000 mobile radios are making a difference for Wellington Combined Taxis (WCT), one of New Zealand's biggest Taxi companies.

WCT enjoy a high profile on the streets of Wellington, born from quality of service and a good reputation.

Operating out of New Zealand's capital for around 80 years, their fleet of 400 is one of the largest in New Zealand.

When WCT's existing 10 year-old radio system was failing on a regular basis it was time to look for a replacement.

"We needed a home-grown local product from a vendor committed to R&D and with a good after sales support record," says Richard Wright, Executive Chairman.

At the same time the company had decided to move to a Raywood data despatch system, so it was imperative that the new radios were compatible with the head units.

Tait was able to offer such a product and services with its range of T2000 series mobile radios. The flexible T2000 offers effective voice and data coverage across the city and region, together with the ability to support GPS and other applications.

Due to the tough working conditions faced by urban taxis, a rugged mobile solution was also required - another reason why Wellington Combined Taxis did not look past Tait.

"When we needed reliable communications to replace our old system, Tait were the obvious choice. Their well known range of quality mobiles and good after sales support make Tait a standout performer, and a New Zealand icon," says Richard.

Wellington Combined Taxis can now offer true regional coverage using the Tait T2000 mobile with the Raywood Despatcher 111 taxi despatching system.

Together with the Global Positioning Satellite technology, which allows controllers to select the right car for the job, there has been a marked improvement in response times, business efficiency and perhaps most important of all, service to their customers.
