ESChat Launches 'Self Discovery', Allowing Customers to Directly Negotiate Inter-Agency Communication Pathways on the 'ESChat for Government', FedRAMP® Authorized Platform

ESChat, a global leader in Mission Critical Broadband Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) communication, today announced availability of a new 'Self Discovery' feature on its FedRAMP Authorized 'ESChat for Government' platform.

Interoperability is a key tenet of the ESChat service. ESChat for Government is a hardened version of the ESChat broadband communication, collaboration, and interoperability platform. The new 'Self Discovery' feature provides public safety agencies a mechanism to 'negotiate' Inter-Agency Pathways which enable secure communication Talkgroups/Channels for Mutual Aid and Tactical Communications. In addition to PTT voice, the Inter-Agency pathways also support ESChat's secure Multimedia Messaging and Location Sharing. 

ESChat includes the most comprehensive portfolio of interfaces to support Wireline and Gateway based Interoperability to third-party Land Mobile Radio (LMR), Dispatch and Logging Recorder systems available in the market today. ESChat Inter-Agency architecture is extensible, allowing administrators to negotiate Inter-Agency Pathways between ESChat MCPTT Users and other Mission Critical communication systems.

"Interoperability is critical to our public safety customers. This includes Interoperability across wireless carriers, Interoperability between communication systems, and Interoperability between public-safety agencies.," said Josh Lober, President of ESChat. "While Inter-Agency Interoperability is not new to ESChat, customers who opt-in to Self-Discovery are able to create and manage their own Inter-Agency Pathways without reliance on the ESChat Customer Care team".
