Lync Server 2010 is Microsoft’s unified communications solution that makes every interaction more collaborative, engaging and accessible from anywhere. A single user interface unites voice, IM, audio-,video-, and web-conferencing into a richer, more contextual offering. Twisted Pair’s WAVE Lync Communicator extends this capability by adding push-to-talk connectivity between two-way radios and smartphones, allowing Lync Server 2010 users to connect with people securely whenever and wherever live communications is essential.

“Twisted Pair is an example of how partners and customers have leveraged the platform to extend communications to new scenarios.”Adding interoperability between Lync and all systems that Twisted Pair’s Wave supports can be of great benefit to our joint customers,” said Ashima Singhal, Group Product Manager at Microsoft Corp. “With Lync, a single identity makes it easier and more efficient for users to find contacts, check their availability and connect with them. The WAVE Lync Communicator builds on this concept by displaying presence information of GPS-supported push-to-talk radio users and WAVE Mobile Communicators directly on a Bing map. Because the WAVE Lync Communicator mimics capabilities found on traditional two-way radios, WAVE Mobile Communicators can be fully integrated into any communication scenario as a supplementary or replacement radio handset.

“The WAVE Lync Communicator extends the boundaries of Lync’s already vast unified communications footprint by adding direct voice communications between users no matter what time it is, where they are located, or what type of device they are using,” said Tom Guthrie, CEO for Twisted Pair Solutions. “With the WAVE Lync Communicator,Lync Server users don’t have to navigate different platforms to get in touch with those persons in field. They can simply track and talk with radio and smartphone users as they would anyone else in their Lync network – making interactions easier and more accessible.

The WAVE Lync Communicator further breaks down technology and organizational barriers associated with disparate and proprietary hardware, systems and software, aligning well in theme with Lync’s interoperability accomplishments and extending the superior situational awareness already afforded by Lync.
