Abstract
For many years, the walkie-talkie has been synonymous with the construction industry. During jobsite project execution, there are three variables which can either hinder or facilitate successful results, namely, quality, quantity, and timing of inform
Key Findings
Wireless communication technology will permit information to flow in a faster, timelier manner between the field and the trailer. Wireless communication techniques will allow the two parties to communicate without leaving their respective locations. (RR136-11, p. 140)
Wireless communication technology is a means to allow the supervisory personnel at a construction site to stay in the field more hours to supervise crews and thus increase productivity. (RR136-11, p. 140)
