GroupTalk's mission is to provide market leading real-time group collaboration and safety services for enterprise customers to increase the efficiency and safety of their mobile workforce.
GroupTalk has its roots in Fjord Network AB, a company founded in 2001, offering net-centric telephony services to the Nordic countries. In 2006, the first commercial Push to Talk service was implemented, with Scandinavian Airlines as a customer.
The GroupTalk brand has been used since 2009.
Back then the mobile networks (originally EDGE and later 3G) was challenging, and the Windows Mobile smartphones were premature. Our main focus at the time was to make sure that a limited number of customers received the best possible service and user experience based on the devices and mobile networks that were available.
Over the following years Android and iOS emerged and matured, the performance of smartphones improved signficantly and 4G mobile networks were deployed with lower latency and improved coverage.
Meanwhile the GroupTalk engineering team was hard at work developing the Android and iOS apps, web based PC Dispatch, cloud based PTT service infrastructure and web based admin. In combination with dialin support to PTT groups from the mobile network and integration with two way radio systems over IP.
Back in 2014 GroupTalk reached a new milestone. After a long period of testing and development we signed a contract with the leading Security Company in Europe, which is now using the service across multiple countries.
Our experience from the Aviation and Security industries, combined with the evolution in the mobile industry opened for a broader business critical service offering from GroupTalk.
You will now find GroupTalk customers in many business verticals that appreciate the the ease of use, quality and flexibility of the services provided.
GroupTalk has a proven track record and provides enterprises grade services that can be evaluate against any two way radio or PoC solution in the market.
In a world where everyone has a smartphone and digitalization is a success factor for all businesses, it makes sense (in most cases) to add a new service to your smartphone instead of getting a new radio device.
The close cooperation between GroupTalk and our customers in the Nordic market has resulted in a service that meets the expectations of European customers and gives us a competitive edge.
