Rugged smartphones offer Push-to-Talk over Cellular
Ultra-rugged Android smartphones from Sonim provide a platform for UnifyVoice, a push-to-talk over cellular (PTToC) solution from Tait. The Sonim XP6 and XP7 rugged smartphones, with dedicated Push-To-Talk and emergency buttons, deliver a rugged mobile radio-centric user interface appropriate to the mission-critical sectors Tait serves.
Sonim’s ultra-rugged smartphone platform running Tait UnifyVoice software allows public safety agencies and industrial enterprises to cost-effectively extend their LMR networks to include non-radio users, freeing up critical radio capacity. The smartphones provide users with a familiar, easy-to-use experience with its built-in dedicated push-to-talk button, emergency key, long battery life, extra-loud audio and overall ruggedness.
Bruce Mazza, VP of Solutions Marketing at Tait Communications, says the Sonim line complements Tait’s reputation for tough mobile radio equipment. “The ability to withstand whatever conditions the job demands is a hallmark of Tait equipment and Sonim has a similarly high standard with its cellular handsets,” says Mazza.
“Through UnifyVoice customers can supply some of their employees with an appropriate, work-fit cellular phone that interacts seamlessly with their radio network users – perhaps people who would not normally be frontline but who, especially in times of emergency, need to be in communication with those who mainly use the mobile radio network to do their jobs. This ultimately leads to more effective communications and a safer, more productive environment for users on the ground.
“Sonim’s approach to creating ultra-rugged hardware built around an open Android ecosystem is exactly what is required by many of the land mobile radio sectors Tait serves,” says Mazza.
