Summary:
We are excited to announce that we are adding Kyocera rugged smartphones to our frontline devices ecosystem. The Walkie Talkie app in Teams with a dedicated push-to-talk (PTT) button on Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G and DuraSport 5G is now generally available. Both devices are optimized for Walkie Talkie communication with a large external button for quick and simplified use. The devices are available exclusively through Verizon.
Walkie Talkie is the digital push-to-talk solution in Teams that enables clear, instant, and secure voice communication over the cloud. With Walkie Talkie in Teams, frontline workers can now securely communicate with a familiar PTT experience without needing to carry bulky radios, and Walkie Talkie works anywhere with WiFi or cellular internet connectivity.
