This quintessential Business 2 Business carrier has actually joined Sprint PCS in aggregating one of the largest client databases in the United States. The merger is no news to the Nextel team as many of them traveled with Mc Caw from the days of the sale of Mc Caw Cellular to AT&T. Nextel, contrary to most carriers, features one of the highest average revenue per user as most clients are large businesses or contractor type or transportation related small businesses. This has made integration a plug-and play affair especially considering that Sprint also had an extensive B2B practice. From a technological standpoint also, the 2 concerns share similar CDMA technology making infrastructural integration more likely than say a CDMA/GSM one.
Some of Nextel signature features such as Direct Connect (or Push to Talk) and GPS capabilities will blend with Sprint 'fortes' such as Sprint Vision data and multimedia connectivity. You can be sure these two carriers have reserved you a lot of surprises in terms of innovative features and mobile office solutions. Perhaps the most impressive innovation is the introduction of GPS services to the cell phone. Whether you are a regular cell phone user or a business man on the go, GPS services will allow you to find your way via Telenav traffic directions, track the position of your fleet, track employee time sheets, jobs and location, direct employees to the nearest resource on record (ATM, bank, post office etc).
