Adding Push-to-Talk Functionality to Your Existing Handheld Devices

Barcoding uses HipVoice Push-To-Talk (PTT) technology to save precious time and increase productivity by letting workers use their existing wireless data collection devices to communicate directly with one another with just a push of a button. No longer is there a need for workers to carry two or more devices because your existing data collection device now has the added functionality of a walkie-talkie or a phone.

The software is easy to use, requiring just a few minutes to teach users. It will run in the background of your device while using other applications, including terminal emulation software, allowing you to communicate without disturbing your primary applications.

The software currently works on products from Symbol Technologies and is Symbol +Plus Validated. Coming soon, Barcoding will be offering Intermec, PSC, Hand Held Products (HHP), and LXE versions of HipVoice. Currently the software is cross compatible with multiple operating systems, and will work on PocketPC 2003, Windows CE 4.2, Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows CE 5.0 devices.

How it works:

There are two basic ways the push-to-talk technology can work on your devices: "Full-duplex" or "Half-duplex" mode.

• Full-duplex mode allows both users to talk at the same time.
• Half-duplex mode works like a walkie-talkie where one person can talk and the other listens.  It works very much like the popular Push-To-Talk phones.

An upgraded version of this application can also be purchased to setup and work with channels.  This allows "one to many" voice conversations within that channel similar to a conference call where everyone can talk to one another.

Benefits of push-to-talk:

HipVoice push-to-talk software brings more value to your organization. Why?

1. Communicate with other workers any time they need to without having to physically locate them, saving time and money.
2. The added functionality of voice leverages your investment in your existing devices and lowers your total cost of ownership for inter-workplace communications.
3. Combining voice with data collection reduces your overall hardware investment, making your IT management easier.

4.

   Replace your walkie-talkie by leveraging your device investment.
5. Drastically reduce the cost of subscribing to cellular push-to-talk service.
6. Closed loop system keeps from employees abusing cellular phone services.

The ability for a user to have an unimpaired experience with voice and data on the same device makes this a truly unique application and a “must have,” next-generation solution for enterprises deploying Windows Mobile RF/wireless terminal devices.
