Wifi Revolution

Pangean Technologies has released a new WiFi (News - Alert) Telephony solution which turns any handheld based on Microsoft (News - Alert) Windows Mobile 5.0 into a “Walkie-Talkie” like device using Push to Talk.

The solution, called Y-Talk, is aimed at the enterprise market. It grew out of Pangean’s popular insta-REACT! solution. Pangean is marketing the solution on its ability to increase employee mobility - thus increasing productivity. The company specializes in SIP-based VoIP applications for both internal and external enterprise communications. Its open-system solutions leverage existing network infrastructure to deliver efficient communications to each user’s desktop or handheld.

“We recognized the need to bring to market a solution that will transform the way the mobile workforce communicates in environments where internal instant communications are critical, such as the retail and warehouse environments,” said Tarun Kapoor, CEO of Pangean Technologies, in a press release. “We believe that Y-Talk offers a unique solution for enterprises needing the ability for mobile employees to instantly communicate with team members and groups of colleagues at the push of a button. By leveraging the existing WiFi infrastructure, in-building communications can be readily achieved with very little, if any, infrastructure investments.”

In a move that will likely accelerate adoption of the new solution, Pangean has also partnered with Symbol to integrate Y-Talk on Symbol’s MC70 and MC9090 (and soon MC50) Enterprise Digital Assistants (EDA).

Pangean was originally expected to launch Y-Talk in June, however, the solution’s official release appears to have been delayed.
