Push to Talk certification on Handheld Group devices

Handheld Group, a rapidly growing manufacturer of rugged PDAs and mobile devices, announces Mobile Tornado instant talk, locate and alert certification on their range of mobile devices

Handheld are pleased to announce the Nautiz 3, Nautiz 7, Nautiz 5 and Algiz XRW have been certified on Mobile Tornado's 'Push to Talk' instant communications solution, providing  an efficient mobile worker communication platform for users of Handheld rugged mobile devices.

Mobile Tornado solutions provide 'push to talk' functionality for instant voice capability over wide and local area networks, reducing cellular voice charges.  Additionally, multiple communication devices such as two-way radios and panic alert devices can be removed, as all field worker requirements are converted into a single mobile device.

"Mobile Tornado is seen as an innovator of field workforce communications and I am delighted that Handheld devices have been certified on their instant communication solution.  Today, addressing duty of care issues for companies employing remote workers is critical, the efficiency and cost savings of a rugged durable Handheld PDA combined with the ability to talk directly to a head office, co-workers or dispatchers at the press of a button are significant" said Dave Cawsey, Managing Director at Handheld UK.

Jeremy Fenn, CEO, Mobile Tornado commented: "Enterprises throughout the world are demanding ever-increasing efficiencies from their workforce. The availability of smarter devices with features such as GPS has allowed the development of sophisticated applications to enhance productivity within the workforce. However, enterprises are now demanding a more effective way to communicate, with greater flexibility and functionality than the traditional radio, mobile or PDA.

We believe the combination of Handheld Rugged Mobile Devices and Mobile Tornado's IPRS platform delivers the answer in every respect, with a suite of products that is changing the face of workforce management. We have invested heavily in our technology and will continue to do so, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of this exciting and rapidly developing market".
