Ooredoo Launches Push-to-Talk Service for Small and Medium Enterprises to Enable Affordable Mission-Critical Communication

Doha, Qatar

Ooredoo – Qatar’s most innovative ICT provider – is launching Aamali Push-to-Talk (PTT), a dedicated group communication service over cellular.

Push-to-Talk over cellular is a one-to-many communication service option for businesses to enable their workforce to collaborate on critical operational tasks. Business customers can use Push-to-Talk devices as walkie-talkies with unlimited range. Push-to-Talk gives an individual the ability to reach an active talk group with a single push of a button.

Aamali Push-to-Talk draws on industry-leading advanced voice-transmission technology, ensuring that each conversation can be heard clearly. From this powerful foundation, Aamali Push-to-Talk can be combined with multimedia services, providing users with a variety of options such as live video sharing, picture/video uploads and multimedia messaging.

Real-time location services are based around an integrated Dispatch Console that can easily reach users, monitor talk groups, capture call logs and much more. A multiple real-time backup mechanism ensures that data is reliably kept safe within Qatar, while its coreless node and dynamic load balancing architecture design provides continuous service without interruption.

Thani Ali Al Malki – Chief Business Officer at Ooredoo – said: “For customers this is a real improvement over the necessity to have several telephone calls to co-ordinate a group and its members. Aamali Push-to-Talk’s multi-level group management capabilities will fulfil the requirements of small and medium businesses alike.”

Business customers can leverage the Ooredoo Advantage, making Ooredoo ‘Best for Business’, thanks to its breadth and depth of talent, best fixed and mobile networks, broadest portfolio of ICT services and solutions, and trusted partner for 60 years.
