Unforeseen events in a changing world

We live in an unpredictable world where natural disasters, major accidents, and unusual incidents such as terrorist attacks and pandemics occur more frequently. Storms, flooding, earthquakes, and fires can cause significant disruption and put residents at risk — making fast, clear, and reliable communication absolutely essential.

One of the greatest challenges during large-scale emergencies is ensuring effective communication between all parties involved: municipal departments, rescue services, internal and external staff, volunteer groups, and private individuals. Critical services such as police, fire and rescue communicate over secure national TETRA networks like Rakel in Sweden, Nødnet in Norway, Virve in Finland, and C2000 in the Netherlands. But how can all other participants in the response — those outside these systems — receive the information they need to act quickly and safely?

Since 2006, GroupTalk has supported professional organizations worldwide with a mobile Push to Talk communication service that runs on open networks (4G/5G and Wi-Fi) and regular smartphones. Trusted by users such as the Dutch Police, Missing People, Save and Rescue Sweden, and a wide range of private and public organizations, GroupTalk enables rapid, secure, and cost-effective communication for everyone involved in crisis situations.

With GroupTalk, municipalities and emergency teams can instantly create communication groups that include all participants — ensuring everyone receives the right information at the right time.

A cost-effective communication solution for crisis response

GroupTalk offers municipalities and authorities a powerful Push to Talk app for both Android and iPhone, enabling instant voice and text communication across unified groups. Control centers can coordinate multiple teams at once, share information, and track users’ positions in real time on a map. The solution is flexible, scalable, and available through daily licenses, ensuring readiness at low cost.

One of our long-time GroupTalk users describes the service this way:

“Effective and secure communication is crucial in managing both operational activities and crisis management at both operational and tactical levels! GroupTalk meets these needs excellently and has been used in military operations and in the context of security and preparedness management in large events and companies.”
