| Psion Teklogix launches communication software platform Psion Teklogix announced the launch of PTX Connect, an enterprise communication software platform enabling mobile workers to communicate in real-time, sharing information cost effectively, while improving workflow across the enterprise. With PTX Connect, mobile workers can communicate with co-workers in virtually any environment, using a variety of options such as walkie-talkie style Push To Talk, VoIP, and a combination of server-based voice, text and scribble messaging. Additionally, PTX Connect coupled with a 2-D imager in a mobile device allows workers to take pictures, add comments to them on screen, and transmit the final images including notations over a wireless network. The multimedia capabilities of PTX Connect can be used in a variety of ways. For example, where mobile workers in a noisy warehouse are not able to send a voice message, or initiate a real-time Push to Talk session, they now have the option to send an image with a written message, hence increasing communication efficiency. Additionally, the PTX Connect voice broadcast feature also allows managers to automatically deliver voice messages to their entire team at once, a key feature for conveying emergency messages or company announcements. This convergence of multiple communications technologies onto devices that are purpose-built for enterprise data collection applications, allows for the use of a single device for data capture, text and voice messaging purposes, and real-time voice communications. This permits the mobile enterprise to reduce operational and support costs, improve workflow efficiency and workforce communication, hence improving its bottom line. PTX Connect will be available on the Workabout Pro product family in March 2006, and on a broader range of Psion Teklogix products later. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
