Business Needs

In today’s competitive and fast paced business environment it is more important than ever that people can communicate with others no matter what time it is, where they are located, and on what type of device they are using.

Solution

WAVE Lync Communicator is a software solution that integrates the WAVE unified communications platform with Microsoft Lync Server 2010, providing users the ability to communicate with field workers and military personnel who use push-to-talk (PTT) radios and smartphones.

The WAVE Lync Communicator also has the ability to display presence information directly on a Bing map from users of WAVE Mobile Communicators and GPS-supported push-to-talk radio users. This capability is extremely important when it is essential to know where field resources are deployed.

Microsoft Lync users will see WAVE communication channels directly in their client experience just as they see other Lync users. When a user wants to communicate with an individual or group of users they simply click on the appropriate WAVE communication channel and talk or text with the user.

Microsoft Lync users can also instantly push-to-talk with users on smartphones equipped with a WAVE Mobile Communicator application simply by clicking on a user or talk group shown within the Lync client.

The WAVE Mobile Communicator for Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and other leading smartphone platforms provides push-to-talk and Text capabilities that mimic those found on traditional Land Mobile Radios (LMR) devices and can be fully integrated into any communication scenario as a supplementary or replacement radio handset.

The WAVELync Communicator also has the ability to display presence information directly on a Bing map from users of WAVE Mobile Communicators and GPS-supported push-to-talk radio users. This capability is extremely important when it is essential to know where your field resources are deployed.

Benefits

The WAVE Lync Communicator connects everyone throughout the organization, securely, in real-time, regardless of location, device or network by breaking down technology and organizational barriers associated with disparate and proprietary hardware, systems, and software at a fraction of the total cost of ownership seen with other types of solutions. WAVE Lync Communicator breaks down very real communication barriers found with LMR and other proprietary communication systems.
