Harris Corporation Creates BeOn Solution, a Scalable, Global Push-to-Talk Solution

BeOn solution – a professional push-to-talk solution – has been introduced by Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company. In order to enable enterprises to have managed group communications anywhere in the world using both 3G and 4G cellular networks, the solution has been designed.

Traditional land mobile radio features such as group calling, individual calling, group scanning, distress calls, and dispatch/administrative services are offered by the Harris BeOn solution. The users, with the BeOn solution, can communicate instantly on a host of commercial smartphones or rugged devices with one or many people, over multiple GSM-based wireless carriers–domestic and international.

Premier global mobile communication solution

Being a premier global mobile communication solution, the BeOn solution is group-oriented, instantaneous and geared for enterprise customers covering large footprints. The users, through its capabilities are allowed to create centralized dispatch services over commercial 3G or 4G wireless networks, or if needed, connect with legacy LMR system. 

"Given our expertise in mission critical communications and the proliferation of mobile broadband, we seized a market opportunity to create a scalable, global push-to-talk solution delivered over wireless carrier networks, which enterprises can deploy at a competitive price point while offering key LMR user benefits," Dana Mehnert, group president, Harris RF Communications, said. "Among industries with global assets, large footprints or rural service geography – such as construction, transport or field services, our BeOn solution satisfies the need for mobile, group-oriented instant communication."

For example, a parcel shipping company could utilize the BeOn solution to improve its delivery management and coordination for better customer service and savings on fuel costs, or government enterprise employees working in the field could better serve the community through more efficient managed group communications using the Harris BeOn solution.
