Motorola Solutions announced that is has launched WAVE broadband push-to-talk in Japan, a communication service that seamlessly connects enterprise teams with instant and reliable, group-based communication.

The new service delivers real-time voice and data communication securely over any IP network, connecting teams and individuals both inside and outside of their existing communication systems.
The highly reliable and resilient service features geo-redundant backup links across east and west Japan and will be supported 24/7 by Motorola Solutions’ control room.

The strength of the new service was demonstrated during recent field tests, where it delivered extremely high audio clarity and low levels of call latency.

Motorola Solutions Japan Head of Commercial Sales, Hirotaka Kobayashi, said the flexible and innovative technology would enable instant, group-based communication at the push of a button.

“WAVE improves collaboration and productivity for enterprises and government agencies by connecting large groups of mobile workers,” Kobayashi said.

“The solution is highly customisable and flexible. It enables organisations to create and control multiple talk groups and adjust the scale of their service as their business requirements change,” he said.

“WAVE also includes advanced dispatch software to provide service users with a complete view of their operations. This includes precise mapping tools to track the location of people and resources, helping to increase situational awareness and protect workers in times of emergency,” he said.

From transport and logistics to construction, hospitality and beyond, WAVE is designed to meet the operational needs of multiple industries. The broadband push-to-talk service is easy to deploy, and customers can start using it within one hour of purchase.

Motorola Solutions has also released a purpose-built communications device to access the new service, the TLK 100.

The smart new radio handset features location tracking, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and caller ID. For added convenience the device can also be configured remotely ‘“over the air” via a web browser. The TLK100’s rugged design is based on military standards and ready for use on Japanese spectrum bands.

Motorola Solutions Asia Pacific corporate vice president, Mike deVente, said users of the service can spend only what they need to manage their daily operational requirements for broadband PTT.

“WAVETM is the ideal solution for any organisation wanting to simply and affordably combine large groups of people onto a single communications platform,” he said.
