'Where2Talk' Offers Mobile Phone Users Instant Communications and Location in One Application

First-of-its Kind Service From Clarity Communication Systems Combines PTT and
LBS
AURORA, Ill., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarity Communication Systems Inc.,
a leading provider of Push-to-Talk (PTT) solutions and Location-Based Services
(LBS) for the wireless industry, will officially introduce its Where2Talk(TM)
solution at CTIA Wireless 2006, Las Vegas, April 5th - 7th. Where2Talk, the
first product for mobile phones that combines location with PTT in one
application, will be available for evaluation at NavTeq's Booth No. 4330,
North Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center.
Where2Talk combines "location at-a-glance" with the instant calling and
presence capabilities of PTT. The PTT contact list now presents who is
available and where they're located. The service lets enterprises track their
mobile workers and instantly communicate with individuals and groups with a
convenient, easy-to-use interface. It also provides families with peace of
mind by enabling parents to keep tabs on their children and instantly reach
them at the push of a button.
"No other company has combined PTT and LBS in one solution," states Jim
Fuentes, Clarity's Chief Executive Officer. "The early reactions to
Where2Talk from our partners indicate that this product will provide
significant value to enterprises and consumers. Enterprises who adopt the
service will realize productivity gains from improved communication and
utilization of resources, while consumers will appreciate a new and improved
way to keep in touch with friends and family."
The Where2Talk service consists of a BREW application on a mobile phone
and a PC-based Dispatch Console. The PTT contact list on the mobile phone
displays all contacts on the main screen with their city/state location
visible at-a-glance. In addition to being able to instantly call individuals
and groups, the user can obtain a map of each contact's location, street
address, and directions. Where2Talk's web-based Dispatch Console enables
users to view contacts on a map, see their online availability, select a group
based on location, and "Push-to-Talk" them from the PC.
The evaluation version of Where2Talk is available now directly from
Clarity; the commercial version is planned for release in Q3 of 2006.
