Kulturoperatørene in Norway chooses push-to-talk from GroupTalk

A scalable communications solution without limitations for coverage, number of channels or users, will ensure the communication for the production team of Norwegian event operator Kulturoperatørene AS. This summarises the new co-operation between Kulturoperatørene AS and leading Swedish communications solutions provider GroupTalk.

GroupTalk will supply its market leading push-to-talk solution (PTT) over users’ smart phones, tablets or PC/Mac’s. The number of users and channels, and the various employees’ rights, is easily controlled as required by the customer. The delivery to Kulturoperatørene AS also includes push-to-talk accessories and Bluetooth based PTT buttons.

The staff will be able to communicate with their colleagues through a single press of the PTT button, simple and user-friendly. GroupTalk’s cloud-based communications solution will replace Kulturoperatørene’s traditional communication solutions.

“Stage production and the event industry is a new customer group for us. Therefore, we are very pleased to deliver our push-to-talk service to Kulturoperatørene,” said Magnus Hedberg CEO of GroupTalk AB. “Since we are chosen in competition with well- established vendors in this segment, we take it as a proof that we have succeeded in offering a powerful and cost efficient product.”

Kulturoperatørene organizes many cultural productions, events and its own productions around Norway. The event variations and the variations in the number of people involved, made the flexibility of GroupTalk’s solution extremely important for the choice of supplier.

“GroupTalk’s push-to-talk solution fits our business perfectly,” said Øyvind Storheim CEO in Kulturoperatørene AS. “We can control the whole production, and the group calls, directly from our mobile phones. The customized Bluetooth based PTT buttons with a different phone and specific headset, enables all functions in the function, including those who are located in a noisy environment.”
