MetroPCS First to Offer Kodiak's Push to Talk (PTT) Service

| Kodiak Networks announced today the wireless industry’s first clientless Push to Talk offering. The Kodiak Clientless Push to Talk application enables PTT subscribers to conduct PTT sessions with non-subscribers – creating an immediate base of contacts and groups for this instant style of communications. Until now, PTT calls could only be initiated to users that had PTT-enabled handsets with a PTT subscription. With the Kodiak Clientless PTT application, PTT subscribers can contact non-subscribers, by sending an invitation to join the call and instructions to press any key to begin speaking. By pressing and releasing any key, known as “getting and releasing the call floor,” recipients can use their wireless or landline phone, just like a PTT phone. MetroPCS is the first cell phone carrier to sign up for this service, and has branded it ChatLINK, which is available to customers starting today. ChatLINK will cost MetroPCS customers $5 per month. |  |
