Bluetooth products help employers navigate new cell phone driving bans

MADISON, Wis., March 26, 2008 – With more and more cities and states enacting cell phone driving bans, it’s more important than ever to know how to keep your employees connected, while they keep two hands on the wheel.

Hands-free Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth car kits and even Bluetooth GPS give mobile professionals a variety of ways to effectively multi-task, while still obeying cell phone driving bans.

The challenge for employers is to meet not only their mobile employees’ communication needs, but to also to protect their company in the face of rapidly changing laws. 

“Employers can be liable if their employees, for example, get in a car accident while talking on an employer-provided cell phone,” says Matt Musillami, President and CEO of wireless accessories specialist Gammoth. “Now’s the time to create or modify your cell phone policies to require employees to use a hands-free device when they’re on the road.”

Musillami says Bluetooth technology offers a variety of hands-free options that allow people on the move to take that important call legally. Bluetooth headsets from Jawbone, LG, Motorola, among many others, are a good option. If you or your employees are not comfortable wearing a headset, then Bluetooth speakers from brands like BlueAnt and Motorola will clip right to your car’s visor. Bluetooth car kits are another option if you don’t have Bluetooth installed in your car and don’t want a headset. Bury, Motorola and Parrott offer top-of-the-line car kits.

You can even connect a phone to a Bluetooth-enabled Garmin GPS unit and use it as a Bluetooth speaker.

With laws changing almost as fast as technology, it’s vital to understand how, when and where cell phone driving bans affect you and your business. The Gammoth team’s blog, covers the latest news on cell phone laws and offers wireless product tips and reviews. Gammoth’s blog and other technology news sources should be regular reading for anyone responsible for keeping a mobile workforce connected.

Cell phone driving bans don’t have to slow businesses down. New technology is keeping pace with rapidly changing laws and giving drivers many hands-free options.
