Case Study: SA CAN saves lives and cuts dispatch costs with Zello

SA CAN - Customer Case Study

SA CAN, South Africa’s first national emergency network, needed a faster and more reliable way to coordinate emergency dispatches across police, fire, ambulance, and other agencies. As call volumes grew, the organization faced the high cost and complexity of buying and maintaining about 100 two-way radios, making its existing communication setup unsustainable.

Zello provided SA CAN with ZelloWork, a secure, low-cost push-to-talk solution that turned existing iOS, Android, and Blackberry smartphones into radios without special hardware. With Zello, SA CAN saved about $55K in equipment costs and $2,450 per month in radio fees, cut monthly communication costs by 84%, improved response times, and enabled secure, real-time dispatching across multiple agencies.
