Traditionally, TASSTA May ended with Kaveh and his short story about the great achievements that have been created within our products.

First of all, we are proud to announce that on the way to create new solutions, we maintain our reputation and have succesfully passed plugtests for the MCX project as we did for our environment since 2017.

In addition, on the development side, we have added full support for French and Chinese, as well as implemented the TASSTA environment to Hytera PDC680, Telox M6, and other newest devices.

When it comes to features, we are especially proud of indoor localization. This means you can see where your colleagues are up to the room. Be sure to try!

For TASSTA people, a good heart means not only hard work and honest action but also efforts that make the world a better place. Last May, our team marked a charitable donation in favor of Aktion Kindertraum, located in Hannover. This outstanding German organization makes children’s dreams come true. It helps those little hearts who find this life hard due to some medical conditions or life events by fulfilling their dreams, so that they feel happier, cared about and loved. We hope that our donation that we collected from a webinar about 3GPP Mission Critical LTE right before Christmas ‘21, will be a great contribution to the wonderful present and the bright future of the children.

TASSTA shares the values of all organizations that care about our community and try to provide all possible assistance to those in need. As a team, we are always happy to support such alliances and also to allow our partners to join donations. We thank all the participants of the charity event and promise not to disregard good deeds on our way!

Missions Critical are carried out not only in cities but also in remote areas of the world where it is difficult to communicate with government agencies and city managers. So that the teams in such regions do not lose touch and could always contact colleagues from large cities, the researchers developed a system of tactical bubbles.

Heikkilä et al. have created a model that will allow teams working with push-to-talk systems in remote areas communicate with their colleagues by cellular communication using specially built communication towers. Such towers create a bubble over the entire area and allow people to communicate not only with each other, but also with people who are in other cities and countries.

At TASSTA, we are constantly following the development of technology. This theoretical experiment once again proved that traditional radio communication is no longer convenient even for solutions in remote regions, as it does not provide the opportunities that T.Flex, T.Bridge, and T.Recorder give users.

On March 24, Kaveh provided information on the latest updates and features that have appeared in TASSTA products.

Every month we share innovations that TASSTA developers create to empower users. However, March has been special for us for two main reasons.

First of all, our programs have become safer and more convenient in terms of iOS. Perhaps, our users will not notice it at first glance but now we guarantee new levels of stability for them, because the best software is the one with which there is no need to understand the nuances of development. Our professionals continue to move towards the development of the safest methods and tools.

Secondly, with the help of TASSTA our users can call up in group chats with video communication now. Up to 16 people can simultaneously share their video in real time and discuss the most urgent issues with the whole team.

The researchers were able to develop a voice data transmission system for free.This technology opens up new opportunities for the further development of secure networks to use in critical situations.

Alexander Diaz Maldonado from Peruvian University of Applied Sciences showed how it is possible to send voice information using a mobile phone, a PC, and three interconnected systems. The technology made it possible to use the resources available to everyone in order to subsequently send messages of support to face COVID-19.

This case proves that push-to-talk systems are evolving by leaps and bounds. Increasingly cheaper technology will allow more people to apply the upgraded solution. At TASSTA we are catching these trends and making them safer for our users.

A study on the PTT communication in a hospital has shown that it can reduce false alerts and improve the effectiveness of staff.

Kentab et al. conducted a cross-sectional study on how the use of push-to-talk applications affects the hospital workers and their efficiency. To make an objective assessment, they interviewed employees of all levels on this topic and used a five-point Likert scale.

According to the results, it became known that 90.4% of participants received a notification or message through the application at least once a day. At the same time, they estimated the number of annoying or unnecessary alerts as 12.5% -21.0%. In the case of traditional public address systems, this level is much higher, which once again shows the importance of the right communication tool in every organization.

At TASSTA, we value such research as it helps us adapt the interface and product features not just for idea but taking into account the needs of users.

Stage 2 of the Tour of Britain cycle race took place across a 183.9km course from Sherford to Exeter on Monday 6th of September PAS Sound & Communications of Exeter hired Entel DN495 E-PoC radios to Devon County Council as a simple and cost effective solution to the council’s communications requirements during the event.

DN495 radios using Tassta’s T.Flex PoC app, are extremely robust and IP68 2-meters for 4-hours submersible making them ideal for use even in the most demanding conditions. Major benefits include the ability to be deployed instantly, almost anywhere, and without the need to install any infrastructure. DN495 radios also provide a virtually unlimited range and number of crystal clear, interference free, channels with exceptionally loud audio. DN495 is extremely cost effective and suitable for a system of any size from just two to several thousand users.

Jeremy Brimblecombe of PAS Sound & Communications said:

The DN495’s enabled radio users to keep in touch with race control at all times. That combined with the GPS based mapping feature provided an App based graphical representation of the course and the location of each road marshal and steward.

Tour of Britain finish manager, Peter Knight of Devon County Council was very pleased with the performance of the radios and had this to say:

Devon County Council once again this summer hosted a stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race on Monday 6th September. As has been experienced in the past the event requires the coordination of 115miles of rolling road closure in addition to start and finish venue locations. Previously the event organisers have used independent radio communication networks for both the start and finish events and then mobile telephone calls to communicate with the race whilst along the route.

This year through early recommendation from Entel’s local distributor, PAS Sound & Communications ltd – it was identified that the Entel DN495 may provide a revolutionary step forward in the events communications. This digital handset would provide the platform for event control (based at the finish event) to be able to communicate with all areas of the event throughout its duration.

The Entel DN495 performed very well providing road marshals and stewards across the entire Devon route with vital information throughout the race.

As well as its impressive network capability the radios excellent audio quality enabled operatives to hear clearly above the background traffic noise to keep in touch with the progress of the race at each section across Devon. It was a perfect solution providing instantaneous back to back comms.
