• 1 in 4 Americans have admitted to using a cell phone while driving
• On the job highway crashes cost employers an estimated $24,500 / crash
All it takes is one call, or one text. For your business, is it worth it? -
No more...• Each day in the US, there are close to 15 deaths related to distracted driving
• Every Year, nearly half a million people are injured in crashes involving distracted drivers
Every one of these crashes was avoidable.
10n2 Technologies invent solutions designed to save lives and prevent injuries. Distracted driving has caused too much damage; there should be no more.
"There are other apps out there, but this one really seems to be the best one in terms of usability and features. It makes perfect sense for companies that have drivers on the road and parents with kids that are driving. Texting while driving is three times more dangerous than drunk driving so this is a major problem."

How do we get the app on our devices?Once the account administrator adds a device in the web portal, user will receive an email with a registration code and link to the application. User should click this link and enter registration code when prompted to install the application on their device.
What happens if a user disables the app? A notification is sent to the email address specified in the customer’s web portal
What happens if a user doesn’t download the application?Administrators can see device registration status, which is depicted by color in the web portal. Devices will remain "red" in the server until the application is downloaded and installed.

Can I always dial emergency phone numbers?Yes, an administrator can program up to three emergency numbers for you in the web portal
Once we have the app, who manages it?Each company or family will appoint an administrator upon account creation. The admin is responsible for adding devices and managing safe driving policies.
What if we want 10n2 to be our administrator and make all portal changes for us? 10n2 can provide that service at additional cost.

Where is our data stored and how secure is it? 10n2 uses a PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant back-office solution to ensure your data/billing information is completely secure and safe.

It's the most highly recognized audit in the industry.

We have a high rate of employee turnover. What do we do when we have an employee leave the company?If it's an employee owned device, then the administrator should delete the device from their web portal. A company owned device can be transferred to a new employee.
When an employee leaves can we transfer that account to a different phone number? No need to transfer. Just delete the device from your web portal and add the new one. Customer will be billed accordingly.
How well does the app work in rural locations?GPS signal comes from satellites orbiting the earth. As long as you can see the sky above you, you should be able to receive the GPS signals.

The user will have a predetermined amount of time to continue the call by passing the AVT or the call will be terminated
What happens if I start a text or email and before I finish I exceed the threshold speed?Nothing will happen to your email or text. Our screen will just block the interface to prevent you from doing those tasks. Once below the threshold speed, you may continue from where you left off.
Can we change the threshold speed?No. This is a setting that is predetermined by 10n2 at the server level.
