ESChat continues to grow its Push-to-Talk market share offering deployment options for “Cloud Hosted Over-the-Top,” “Customer Premise” and “Carrier Integrated” models.

Partner PTT service makes it possible to conduct instant calls using ESChat’s proven PTT technology and combine the best of both worlds: fast and convenient communication at the touch of a button on the fastest and most advanced 4G infrastructure in Israel. Ewave Mobile, ESChat’s distribution partner in Israel is providing local customer support.

The system, which includes Hebrew and Arabic language support, allows users to start a conversation in less than half second, with high-definition voice quality and the option for mission critical call-recording. The system supports multiple mobile platforms, including Android and iOS, and also offers a Windows PC Dispatch solution, allowing each business or agency to choose the right device for their mission.

Partner PTT includes a convenient administrator’s portal for managing subscribers and assigning permissions to each subscriber, as well as creating multiple groups for instant call access. Partner PTT includes advanced features such as OAuth2 support for Single Sign On, Priority, Preemption, Ambient Listening Groups, Surveillance Groups and SOS Emergency Groups

Josh Lober, ESChat CEO, added, "We are delighted to have been selected as Partner’s technology of choice, providing the most advanced PTT technology available. Our experience with Push-to-Talk communication will directly benefit Israel’s government agencies and business organizations."
