| Sonim Technologies Unveils the XP1 Push-to-Talk Handset Sonim Technologies has announced the launch of the XP1, the world's first industry standard Push-to-Talk (PTT) handset and the world's first ruggedised GSM PTT handset. The XP1, GCIF-certified for the EMEA and Asian markets, lets mobile operators offer services to an enterprise subscriber base of more than 25 million mobile workers that require PTT capabilities in an economical, field-ready handset. These groups include workers in rapidly expanding industries such as security, field maintenance, logistics/transportation and utilities as well as a variety of field staff in the public and private sectors. The XP1 incorporates the approved Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) PoC 1.0 standard, which enables one-to-one and one-to-many PTT communications capabilities across any GSM network. An extra large button on the side of the handset allows users to operate the walkie-talkie style PTT capabilities. Additional features include extra large interface buttons, an oversized screen for better visibility outdoors and extended battery life. The XP1 is IP-52 certified to ensure resistance to dust and water - two of the most common disruptive elements field workers encounter. With the introduction of the XP1, Sonim brings a complete end-to-end solution for OMA PoC applications for the enterprise. In addition to the handset, Sonim offers a client / server platform that runs on a standalone basis or is easily integrated into IMS network systems. The Sonim solution runs on GSM and WiFi environments and the services enable fixed-to-mobile convergence between GSM and WiFi, allowing operators to realize additional value from these deployments. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
