Nextel Communications Inc. and @Road have added @Road Pathway to their suite of mobility service applications for mobile workers.

@Road Pathway enables transportation companies to verify routes, stops and schedules and is available on Nextel i58sr and i88s phones with assisted global positioning system.
The @Road Pathway solution incorporates a number of features including:
-- Customer-configurable maps and pre- and user-defined landmarks that provide location and proximity information about mobile workers from any Internet-connected PC
-- Recent location information of mobile resources from any Internet-connected PC
-- Mileage, time in transit, and start/stop reports
-- Stored location information for mobile workers outside a coverage area or on a phone call
-- Application hosting by @Road, minimizing customer information technology investments
Operating on Nextel's nationwide all-digital data network, @Road Pathway is a hosted service that combines the convenience of wireless communications with access to mobile resource information via a secure @Road web site.
Companies can subscribe to @Road Pathway service for one- or two-year terms. Activating this solution requires a @Road Pathway service plan starting at $14.95 per month per subscriber, plus a one-time activation fee, the cost of a Nextel voice and Total Connect data plan, and a Nextel GPS-enabled phone.
