Twisted Pair Gives Microsoft Lync Users Access to Mobile Workers on Smartphones and Two Way Radios
WAVE® Communicator for Microsoft Lync Extends Unified Communications to Mobile Workers on Any Device and Across Any Network
SEATTLE, July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Twisted Pair Solutions, Inc., a recognized leader in critical communication applications for secure, real-time communications anywhere on any device, has announced the general availability of WAVE Communicator for Microsoft Lync, an application for extending the voice capabilities of Microsoft Lync Server 2010 to mobile workers. WAVE Communicator extends the reach of Microsoft Lync so that office-based workers and mobile workers using smartphones or two-way radios can simply and securely communicate via voice or text while sharing valuable information such as status and presence.
"Businesses of all sizes are seeking greater performance and productivity from their office-based and mobile workers through increased collaboration," says Tom Guthrie, CEO of Twisted Pair. "Microsoft Lync has become the unified communications platform of choice for thousands of businesses that are seeking to drive more value from all forms of communication. With a WAVE-enabled Lync deployment, businesses can achieve even greater efficiency and productivity through instant access to all workers regardless of the communications networks or devices they use."
Built on WAVE, the industry's leading interoperability platform, WAVE Communicator is integrated with Microsoft Lync, appearing as a panel within Lync 2010 and displaying available communication channels. These channels may include multiple two-way radio networks, push-to-talk mobile talk groups using smartphones or broadcast systems. When a Lync user wants to communicate with an individual or team they simply click on the appropriate WAVE communication channel and talk.
In addition to providing instant access to communications channels from within Lync 2010, WAVE Communicator has the ability to display presence information on a Bing map from GPS-supported devices such as smartphones and military and professional two-way radio systems. This capability is extremely important when it is essential to know where field resources are deployed and speaking with groups of users instantaneously is required.
"Twisted Pair's WAVE Communicator is a great example of how the extensible Lync developer platform allows ISVs to extend voice and data communications in ways that truly benefit enterprise and mobile workers," says Kirk Gregersen, senior director of Lync product management at Microsoft Corp. "Interoperability is of key importance to Microsoft's customers and Twisted Pair's WAVE platform enables direct communications with a whole range of additional communications networks."
WAVE Communicator is a key component of WAVE 5.2, the latest version of Twisted Pair's award-winning critical communications platform. WAVE 5.2 also adds GPS-based location information from GPS-capable Motorola MOTOTRBO(TM) professional digital two-way radio systems and WAVE Mobile Communicators, as well as MOTOTRBO private call support from any WAVE Communicator.
