- Push To Talk (PTT)
Waveform Solutions based in Dublin, Ireland provide HipVoice Push to Talk (PTT), which is a patented technology that provides users with the ability to quickly communicate with each other regardless of geography. PTT uses your existing data IP connection (e.g. GPRS, 3G, WiFi, WLAN) to allow spoken, text chat and sticky note interactions from anywhere in the world.
PTT allows users to benefit from a half-duplex closed loop ‘always on’ communications medium that leverages the mobile device they are using for primary tasks. Push a button and communicate instantly with co-workers or managers that are also in your group. No need to dial any numbers and you are connected to others 1:1 or 1:many.
HipVoice is easy to use. You can be up & running in a matter of minutes. And HipVoice currently works on pretty much the entire product line from Waveform Solutions. The software will work on just about anything Microsoft has produced for the mobile worker so far plus XP and Vista, through a desktop dispatcher.
Why is this of interest to the Enterprise user? What are the benefits?
Enterprise users tend to invest in durable rugged mobile computers in PDA form factors to mobilise their business applications. PTT allows the convergence of another feature onto these portable platforms saving further investment cost management and asset management headaches in issuing mobile phones and walkie talkies.
HipVoice represents the true spirit of convergence and can be fully hosted by us on your behalf or you can acquire the server & client licenses and build it into your own IT Network.
What Makes HipVoice such a great solution for Enterprise Users?
HipVoice is aimed at the enterprise user to enhance and leverage both the initial investment in enterprise mobile technology and the ongoing investment in a data network either WLAN or WWAN.
