As teams become more mobile, working across multiple locations and in-field environments can be a challenge for real-time communication.

Thanks to emerging cloud technology, it’s now possible for employees to stay connected with just one device dependent on WiFi or cellular networks! Push-to-Talk simplifies communication across many industries. Here’s a quick overview of our partner RingCentral’s solution and basic applications.
