Discover The Next Generation of Unified Communications for the Frontline Workforce

By: Michael Schwartz

Enterprise collaboration technology is swiftly moving towards Unified Communications (UC) to meet the urgent need to connect teams and significantly increase productivity. Over the last few years, leading organizations have seen the transformative benefits of implementing UC technology with their desked workers. But they cannot afford to stop there.

Deskless or frontline workers must be the next frontier for Unified Communications strategies. Here the challenge begins for management, IT administrators, and innovation officers. UC technology is ubiquitous for the desked worker but often difficult to source for workers who operate on the go, heads up, or face-to-face with customers.

Enter Push-to-Talk (PTT) 2.0.

Orion’s latest e-book offers a deep dive into the transformative opportunities of PTT 2.0, its history, and practical use cases. Read on to see what’s covered in our e-book.

What is Push-to-Talk 2.0?

To understand the next generation of push-to-talk, let’s start with the basics. At its simplest, PTT technology is a communications solution where a user pushes a button to instantly send short voice messages to one or many users at once.

Enterprise-ready PTT solutions must go further though and provide communication over any distance, any network, and any device. Modern PTT should support multimedia collaboration with voice, text, photos, files, and videos. PTT delivered via app or web-based console must also offer mapping and real-time geolocation information, playback, archiving, and compliance.

Simply put, these are the table stakes of PTT or the bare minimum requirements for frontline communications.

Orion Unified Communications and Push-to-Talk (PTT) 2.0Orion is the only PTT vendor to meet these table stakes. Some vendors can send text messages (that are unsecure without E2EE). Some vendors can communicate over long distances. But no other vendor can offer device- and network-agnostic, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) multimedia communications, geolocation, and operational control over any distance.

Orion didn’t stop here though. We built the first PTT 2.0 platform.

Orion’s PTT 2.0 platform radically modernizes push-to-talk communications, moving well-beyond current PTT solutions. Keep reading to learn the four features that separate Orion’s PTT 2.0 platform from other PTT solutions and take frontline communications into the future.

#1 Voice AI Bots
