When words aren’t enough – Show what you see

What if you could stop explaining what you see – and simply show it, while speaking freely, hands-free, and in real time? With GroupTalk, you can.

Scenario shown in the image:
A security guard is patrolling a busy shopping mall when the control center contacts him about a person of interest. Instead of trying to describe what he sees over voice, the guard starts a private Full Duplex call and activates his smartphone camera. The control center immediately sees the live video feed – showing escalators, crowds, and key vantage points – while hearing the guard speak in real time.

In large malls or public spaces, security teams often need to locate missing persons, assess disturbances, or verify potential threats. With private Full Duplex video in GroupTalk, guards can show what’s happening without wasting time or relying on vague descriptions. The control center gets eyes on the ground instantly and can guide decisions more accurately. It’s faster, safer, and more efficient – exactly what GroupTalk is built for.

For group communication, Full Duplex enables open mic conversations – everyone can talk and listen at the same time, without pressing the PTT button. Ideal for real-time coordination in dynamic environments like crane operations, aircraft handling, or large-scale site work.

For private calls, Full Duplex adds live video. Just activate your smartphone camera and stream what you're seeing – your colleague sees it instantly, while hearing you in real time. Whether you're documenting work, inspecting equipment, or responding to incidents, GroupTalk helps you act faster and smarter.

GroupTalk brings it all together in one secure platform: push-to-talk, messaging, alarms, live video, and location sharing – built for professional teams where speed, clarity, and reliability are essential.

A PTT solution built for the field

Real-time video sharing is a powerful tool for industries where fast and clear communication is critical. With GroupTalk’s Full Duplex, teams can instantly show what’s happening – directly from their mobile device, without needing to explain.

In security, emergency services, construction and industry, transportation, aviation, offshore, as well as field service, energy, healthcare, logistics, event security, and agriculture, live video helps teams make faster decisions, perform remote inspections, and improve safety in the field.

Whether it's about documenting, troubleshooting, or coordinating – GroupTalk makes it easy to show what you see, in real time.
