Critical communications for construction
DMR designed around the site — not just the handset.
From a single work area to a multi-building project, Foresolutions designs professional Digital Mobile Radio around coverage, user groups, repeaters, safety functions and the changing structure of the build.
What is the best two-way radio system for a construction site? The right system depends on coverage, structure, noise, user roles and resilience. We design Caltta, Hytera and Motorola Solutions DMR deployments around those operational requirements.

Push-to-Talk over Cellular
Push-to-talk beyond the site boundary.
Zello gives construction teams instant push-to-talk over 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi — connecting operatives, supervisors, contractors, project offices and regional teams without turning every conversation into a phone call.
Is Zello suitable for construction sites? Yes. It can connect smartphones, rugged Android devices and compatible dedicated PTT hardware across the site, between projects and back to the office.
Site ↔ project officeInstant group voice over cellular and Wi-Fi.
Dispatch & mapsCentral coordination and location visibility where configured.

Construction asset tracking
One operational view from depot to floor.
Foretrack Connect brings supported vehicle, plant, battery-powered, BLE and indoor location data together so construction teams can follow the asset through the project rather than losing visibility when the tracking technology changes.
What can construction equipment tracking cover? Depending on the asset and required accuracy, a deployment can combine powered telematics, battery GPS or GNSS, BLE tags and indoor RTLS in the same operational workflow.
OutdoorVehicles, plant, trailers and high-value mobile equipment.
TransitionSite arrival, compound presence and movement into the build.

No ignition feed. Still visible.
Construction equipment tracking should not stop at powered plant. Battery-powered trackers and low-power tags can extend visibility to trailers, containers, attachments, temporary equipment, toolboxes and other valuable assets without a permanent power supply.
How do you track non-powered construction equipment? Larger or higher-value assets can use long-life battery GNSS or GPS trackers. Smaller equipment and high-volume tool populations can use BLE tags where presence, proximity or last-seen visibility is the better fit.

Foretrack viewBring the mixed asset estate into a single operational platform rather than separate tracking silos.
Indoor RTLS for complex builds
Find the asset inside the building — not just on the site
Can construction assets be tracked indoors?
Yes. GPS and GNSS are effective outdoors, but indoor asset tracking can use BLE and scalable RTLS technologies to provide building, floor, zone or room-level visibility depending on the required accuracy and deployment design.
Yes. GPS and GNSS are effective outdoors, but indoor asset tracking can use BLE and scalable RTLS technologies to provide building, floor, zone or room-level visibility depending on the required accuracy and deployment design.
On a large multi-storey or complex build, knowing that an asset is “on site” may still leave a team searching hundreds of rooms or multiple floors. Indoor location closes that visibility gap and can be combined with outdoor tracking through Foretrack Connect.

Construction technology answers
Construction communications & tracking FAQs
Clear answers for teams comparing construction site radios, PTToC, plant tracking and indoor asset location.
What is the best radio system for a construction site?
The best system depends on site size, building structure, coverage and who needs to communicate. DMR two-way radio is well suited to fast site-wide team communication, while Zello Push-to-Talk over Cellular can extend push-to-talk over 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi. Larger projects can use a designed combination of both where appropriate.
What is DMR radio and why is it used on construction sites?
DMR means Digital Mobile Radio. It provides professional push-to-talk communication for construction teams and can be designed with talk groups, emergency functions, repeaters and wider radio infrastructure to suit the site and operational requirement.
Is Zello suitable for construction sites?
Yes. Zello is a Push-to-Talk over Cellular platform that can connect smartphones, rugged devices and compatible dedicated PTT devices over 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi. It is useful when construction teams need push-to-talk communication across a site, between sites or back to a project office.
How do you track non-powered construction equipment?
Non-powered and non-motorised construction assets can be tracked with battery-powered GNSS or GPS trackers and low-power Bluetooth tags. The right method depends on the asset value, required update rate, location accuracy and battery-life target.
Can construction assets be tracked inside buildings?
Yes. Indoor asset tracking can use BLE and scalable RTLS technologies to show an asset at building, floor, zone or room level, depending on the chosen design and required accuracy. This complements outdoor GPS and GNSS tracking where satellite signals are available.
How do you track plant and equipment across multiple construction sites?
A construction asset tracking platform can combine powered vehicle or plant trackers, battery-powered trackers and lower-cost tags in one operational view. Foretrack Connect is used to present supported location data, history and alerts so teams can see where assets are and investigate exceptions.
Can Foretrack combine outdoor and indoor asset visibility?
Foretrack Connect can bring supported outdoor GNSS or GPS data together with BLE and indoor location data in one platform. The deployment is designed around whether the requirement is site presence, building, floor, zone, room or more precise location.
Start with the site challenge, not the device.
Tell us where communication breaks down, which assets are difficult to find and what your teams need to see. We can then design the right combination of DMR, Zello PTToC and Foretrack for the project.
