Expert Solution

The answer of the question is provided below, please comment if any doubts:

For voice and data direct satellite communication using either radio waves or micro waves can be used:

The radio wave based satellite communication will be suitable in this case to make constant communication with the entire fleet of trucks.
A contract with satellite voice and data provider will provide a spectrum for our company use, so we can use that spectrum for high speed bandwidth.
The voice communication can be achieved via VoIP since it will provide better reliability and quality.
The satellite based radio wave or if needed micro wave for higher ranges will be reliable since it will give hassle free all time connectivity and it will not be affected by the connection lost that happened by ground based communication facilities.
Since our on frequency spectrum could be provided in most cases there is no problem like interference of single with other communication signals.
A mobile receiver in the truck will be sufficiently enough to receive and send data.
Thus to make the communication simple and reliable satellite based voice and data communication is the perfect choice to get constantly connected with the fleet of trucks.
