ESChat announced the availability of an integrated IoT Radio solution in partnership with Siyata Mobile.

The integrated Siyata SD-7 solution operates within the ESChat ecosystem and can communicate with other SD-7 devices, as well as with all other existing elements of the ESChat ecosystem including Android and iOS smartphones & tablets, Land Mobile (LMR) Radios, Dispatch and CAD Consoles, and Logging Recorder solutions.

ESChat is a FirstNet Certified™ solution that is used throughout numerous markets, including public safety, transportation, education, utilities and logistics. The Siyata SD-7 is a FirstNet Approved IoT Radio that leverages a Qualcomm chipset and has been certified for use on the AT&T and Verizon networks. It is expected to receive certification from T-Mobile within the coming months.

The integrated solution provides a walkie-talkie experience with global reach. The SD-7 operates on wireless carriers and WiFi and along with the ESChat application, provides an easy-to-use PTT experience with excellent voice quality. The SD-7 is a ruggedized device with a 2-line OLED display, PTT button, SOS key, volume rockers and a speaker loud enough to operate in the most challenging environments. It is LTE, WiFi, and Bluetooth-enabled and uses the Android operating system.

As an Internet of Things (IoT) device, the SD-7 requires a minimal data plan for monthly PTT service. Typical PTT users require approximately 0.6GB of data per month.
