| Josh Lober, president and CEO of ESChat, described it as a very “un-carrier” move on the part of T-Mobile. It’s offering ESChat to its business and government customers without interoperability restrictions, meaning ESChat customers purchasing via T-Mobile can communicate with ESChat users on any other wireless network.T-Mobile already conducted a soft launch, and today’s announcement coincides with ESChat’s general availability on the network. Pricing for T-Mobile’s PTT service is $5 per month and includes group multimedia messaging. The service supports Android and iOS smartphones, a limited selection of “basic” phones and Windows PCs.ESChat’s technology is carrier-agnostic, and it launched in partnership with Verizon in 2008, when it was called Enterprise Push to Talk. AT&T, Verizon and Sprint use PTT solutions from Kodiak Networks, which was purchased by Motorola Solutions in 2017, but none of them allow users from different carriers to talk to one another even though they’re using the same technology, according to Lober. PTT is different in that it offers managed communications. In a conference call where 100 people are on the line, they’re going to end up talking over one another from time to time. With PTT, the system is managed so that only one user at a time is granted permission to speak and there’s a priority structure in place that allows commanders or supervisors to take over the conversation. It’s secure, and encryption keys are changed on every call.Lober said one big area where ESChat really shines is in interoperability with radio networks. There’s a large part of the public safety community that realizes the advantage of integrating broadband-like ESChat with their radio network, so their radios can talk to their smartphones and coverage boundaries are removed. “I can be across country at a national event still monitoring my local police department in New Hampshire, and communicating with them,” he said. “You can extend your coverage area with integrating these systems together,” filling in coverage gaps and addressing dead spots. -- ???????? | |||
