A complete new set of features is part of the roadmap and are expected to be launched soon.

Josh Lober, President of ESChat, leading solution for carrier independent Secure Push to Talk (PTT) over LTE communications, announced that the 2021 development schedule within the company will stay aggressive as always. A complete new set of features is part of the roadmap and are expected to be launched soon. As part of this aggressive growth, Lober mentioned that he is proud to announce that the newly released ESChat Generation 2 Android product has received FirstNet Certified status. The ESChat Gen2 includes a host of new features not available in any other broadband PTT solution.

Josh Lober: I'm fortunate to work with a crazy talented group of people, including a senior engineering staff that I've been with since the early-mid 1990's.

ESChat has led the pack in cellular based PTT technology since its launch in 2008. The company continuously evolves their technology, while many competitors are copy their features and try to meet ESChat quality and performance benchmarks.

Lober continued: The release of ESChat Generation 2 was like lighting an afterburner, leaving the competition far behind.

ESChat uses standards-based interfaces to integrate with other systems, including: P25 via ISSI, DMR via AIS, Dispatch Consoles via CSSI or AIS, and Mission Critical Call Logging via SIPREC. Regardless of your wireless network, ESChat provides secure and reliable communication on and across all wireless networks without the need for additional hardware or software.

ESChat is a FirstNet Certified™ solution, and is also a partner with Verizon and T-Mobile.
