JPS VIA vs XVirtual

The JPS VIA Push-to-Talk over cellular application, integrated with ACU radio interoperability gateways, provides a major expansion in communications capabilities. JPS Interoperability Solutions, Inc., the industry leader in communications interoperability, provides the integration of SLA’s Enterprise Secure Chat (ESChat) with its ACU technology. Called JPS VIA, the service provides secure voice and data links between mobile devices and JPS gateways. This brings many new features to the gateway operators, interoperability system members, and Smart Device users. Additional benefits include the ability to set up ancillary Smartphone talk groups to reduce traffic on vital radio channels during a major incident, plus the extension of communications into areas with poor radio coverage, such as in a parking garage, or to supervisors traveling outside the coverage area. JPS VIA is offered as a hosted service running on commercial 3G/4G/LTE/WiFi networks. JPS VIA offers ESChat’s full and very extensive feature set, and JPS will be also be rolling out new features that more tightly integrate the JPS VIA application with ACU gateways, bringing increased awareness and control to all users of the combined system. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. We recommend using the default LMS setting unless plugged into power

Xplorer is based on Xvirtual, a software application running on iOS or Windows, and operates as a single, fully featured, intercom panel. As an example, and thanks to Ethernet connectivity, a computer in a newsroom can be rendered with the functionality of an intercom user panel. Just the same way, any iPhone, iPod or iPad Apple device can be turned into a wireless intercom system, provided that there is Wi-Fi connectivity available with a Conexia or Crossnet intercom matrix. It can also operate as an autonomous system by simply adding a TW5000 base station. Further, AEQ has developed a series of wireless intercom panels using this technology that includes all commonly required features for professional belt-packs. XBP is a hardware intercom panel based on 5GHz Wi-Fi technology and using Xplorer as its software engine. In essence this is the combination of the the processing capabilities, connectivity and operating system of an Apple iPod device and a hardware solution that provides professional features. It provides a quick-access user interface consisting in 4 physical keys, a gain control and mute encoder and battery status indicators. It is connected to the iPod through a low power Bluetooth link. It also incorporates all necessary circuitry required to charge the internal batteries and interface professional headset combinations.
