Thales expands its footprint in satellite communications providing a reliable Push-to-Talk service that operates anywhere in the world as a result of the success of the ThalesLINK on Iridium Certus L-band product series,
In partnership with ESChat, Thales is now offering Push-to-Talk (PTT) over satellite for customers worldwide. Users that have purchased ThalesLINK solutions, such as Thales MissionLINK™ or Thales VesseLINK™ 200 and 700 systems, can now access a reliable low-latency PTT solution.
The launch comes after months of rigorous beta testing and vetting by Thales’ certified official resellers, who will offer the service to customers in a variety of markets across the globe such as public safety, search and rescue, defense, utilities, mining, shipping and many more.
ThalesLINK solutions operate on the Iridium Certus™ network of 66 Low Earth Orbit satellites that cover 100% of the globe, providing coverage anywhere in the world regardless of weather or terrain. Combining this technology with the ESChat application, Thales now provides an always-on robust Push-to-Talk service for users anytime, anywhere.
“Our partnership with ESChat was strategic to deliver a truly reliable Push-to-Talk solution. We heard market feedback about having access to a low-latency PTT service over Iridium Certus and we are excited to deliver exactly that.” said Brian Aziz, Vice President of Satcom Solutions, Thales Defense & Security Inc.
