VoWiFi PTT suite supports Windows Mobile handhelds
May 09, 2006

Pangean Technologies is beta-testing a SIP-based software application said to turn WiFi-enabled Windows Mobile PDAs into walkie-talkies with push-to-talk (PTT) capability. Y-Talk offers a single interface for presence, push-to-talk, instant group conferencing, and more, according to the company.

Pangean says that Y-Talk allows enterprises to leverage existing wireless networks and access points for in-building and campus-wide communications. Communication is maintained as users roam across multiple access points. The system supports one-to-one, one-to-many (broadcast), and conference-style communication. Additionally, location-based services reports on the participation -- and geographic location -- of group members.

Y-Talk has three components, according to Pangean:
  • Client -- Windows Mobile-based SIP endpoint that integrates secure voice and data communication; the application uses a "buddy list" style GUI for spontaneous communications that also provides presence and availability information in real-time

  • Server -- provides media control and end-user management that enables Y-Talk Clients to communicate with each other

  • Management Server -- a web-based server that facilitates management of user and group configurations
Both the Server and Management Server can reside on the same Windows 2000 or 2003 Server based machine.

Pangean says it has also partnered with Symbol to integrate Y-Talk onto Symbol's MC50 and MC70 Enterprise Digital Assistants (EDA), and that it expects to receive certification from Symbol.

Y-Talk is scheduled for general released at the end of June, according to Pangean. Information about how to participate in the beta test is available here.
