Twisted Pair Solutions Announces WAVE® Mobile Communicator for Smartphones, the Latest Addition to WAVE's Leading Unified Voice Communications Software Platform

SEATTLE, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Twisted Pair Solutions today announced the availability of WAVE 5.0, the latest version of its leading unified voice communication platform that enables dissimilar voice technologies to seamlessly interoperate. WAVE 5.0 introduces the industry's first push-to-talk (PTT) application for Smartphones that is completely device and service provider-agnostic.  WAVE Mobile Communicator provides real-time, two-way PTT capability between similarly equipped devices across any Wi-Fi or wireless data network. Initially with support for BlackBerry® and Windows Mobile devices, future releases will support Android and iPhone devices.

Users of WAVE Mobile Communicators can now share voice communications with other individuals or groups of users in a true PTT fashion without being tied to a particular piece of hardware or service provider. This secure, carrier and device agnostic approach radically redefines the role and value of PTT for business and government users. With WAVE 5.0, not only can businesses and governments expand their arsenal of communications equipment easily by leveraging existing investments in Smartphones, they can also extend the scope and reach of their communications networks now as Smartphones interoperate with two-way radios, PCs and desktop telephones.  

"We see a huge number of possible use cases for this capability and our customers and partners all recognize the compelling business case for WAVE Mobile Communicators," said Tom Guthrie, President and CEO for Twisted Pair Solutions. "Some would like to provide robust team communications to workers in their warehouses, while others see them as a replacement for old, proprietary and expensive radios handsets. One customer in particular intends to add new users to his radio network only using the WAVE Mobile Communicator."

With WAVE 5.0, Twisted Pair has solved a problem others are just now discovering. The limited computing power and memory of a mobile device makes it extremely difficult to run a voice processing engine on a Smartphone. The Mobile Communicator is tethered to WAVE's audio processing engine using a revolutionary connection protocol over any IP network including 2.5G, 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi. Using this architecture, communications can be secured using the latest government approved encryption technology with audio processing housed in an enterprise network or even as part of a cloud computing environment.

The WAVE Mobile Communicator itself is a small, yet robust application built using the proven WAVE SDK. The application combines the power and military-grade security and encryption of the award-winning WAVE engine with a breakthrough communications protocol. This new architecture for radio communications across cellular and Wi-Fi networks is two applications in one. It can be used to communicate on a WAVE channel in the same way as other WAVE endpoints – meaning similar to a two-way radio as part of a larger radio network. It can also be used to make secure, point-to-point (P2P) calls between two devices across any network. This is the first solution to eliminate device, network and radio system type as a barrier to communicate with two-way radio systems.

WAVE® is the industry's only pure software solution dedicated to providing unified voice communications. Whereas other technologies require vendor supplied and often proprietary servers and data network components, WAVE operates on off-the-shelf, industry standard hardware. WAVE's software only approach enables greater deployment flexibility, lowers acquisition costs and preserves prior investments in network, server and desktop infrastructure.
