Twisted Pair Solutions has introduced WAVE 5.0, the new version of its unified voice communication platform that enables dissimilar voice technologies to interoperate.
The company said that its new version introduces push-to-talk (PTT) application for Smartphones that is device and service provider-agnostic. WAVE Mobile Communicator provides two-way PTT capability between similarly equipped devices across any Wi-Fi or wireless data network. Initially, it will support BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices, while future releases will support Android and iPhone devices.
Twisted Pair Solutions said users of WAVE Mobile Communicators can now share voice communications with other individuals or groups of users in a PTT fashion without being tied to a particular piece of hardware or service provider. With WAVE 5.0, businesses and governments can expand their communications equipment, and can extend the scope and reach of their communications networks now as Smartphones interoperate with two-way radios, PCs and desktop telephones, the company said.
Tom Guthrie, president and CEO for Twisted Pair Solutions, said: "We see a huge number of possible use cases for this capability and our customers and partners all recognise the compelling business case for WAVE Mobile Communicators.
"Some would like to provide robust team communications to workers in their warehouses, while others see them as a replacement for old, proprietary and expensive radios handsets."
