Josh Lober, President of ESChat, added, “We are excited to be working with Siyata, which is a fast-growing vendor of innovative PTT devices. ESChat delivers best-of-class PoC software, which coupled with Siyata’s UR7, provides enterprise customers a fantastic PTT experience.”
The integration opens opportunities for Siyata with ESChat’s multiple cellular operator partners and end customers.
Marc Seelenfreund, CEO and Chairman of Siyata Mobile, commented, “We are pleased to be working with ESChat, a leading North American PoC software vendor and are confident this will open up large-scale sales opportunities for our UR7 device. Our rugged clamshell, coupled with ESChat Push-to-Talk, is a perfect upgrade for outdated IDEN clamshell devices.”
The UR7 device is based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset supporting major North American bands including 4G/LTE and FirstNet (“Band 14”) for the First Responders network. This device boasts 4G speed, crystal clear cellular call quality with background noise cancellation, dual speakers for loud and clear sound quality, dedicated Push-To-Talk (PTT) and SOS buttons, a touch screen and more, packaged in an ergonomic clamshell form factor.
CCS Insight predicts the market for rugged handsets will double from 30 million units in 2017, as more workers opt for durable phones that can withstand a harsh environment. CCS also expects the market to continue to expand rapidly, with volumes of over 59 million by 2021.
