JPS VIA APP
The JPS VIA Push-to-Talk over cellular application, integrated with ACU radio interoperability gateways, provides our customers a major expansion in communications capabilities. Also, hardware costs drop when access to radio channels can be provided by cellular devices to personnel who need access, but don’t require all features available to handheld radios.
Additional benefits include the ability to set up ancillary Smartphone talk groups to reduce traffic on vital radio channels during a major incident, plus the extension of communications into areas with poor radio coverage, such as in a parking garage, or to supervisors traveling outside the coverage area.
JPS VIA is offered as a hosted service running on commercial 3G/4G/LTE/WiFi networks. Customers simply purchase the service through JPS and download the application to their Smartphones from Google Play A monthly service fee is charged per mobile device used.
JPS VIA offers ESChat’s full and very extensive feature set, and JPS will be also be rolling out new features that more tightly integrate the JPS VIA application with ACU gateways, bringing increased awareness and control to all users of the combined system.
