BeOn PTT vs Flex Touch

The BeOn App turns your Apple mobile device into a group oriented Push to Talk communications solution. If you are an organization looking for an alternative to building out or replacing a dedicated land mobile radio (LMR) system or are an enterprise looking to greatly expand the functionality and coverage of an existing LMR system, BeOn is your ideal solution. BeOn leverages what’s already there; your Wi-Fi connection and any combination of cellular carrier data network connections to allow you to communicate with groups or individual team members throughout the world. BeOn includes advanced dispatch, presence, and location tracking features to increase your organization’s efficiency. BeOn may be configured as a standalone enterprise owned system, replacing traditional LMR systems or can be configured to work in conjunction with a multitude of LMR systems to significantly expand the coverage area and functionality of the system. If you are an enterprise such as a manufacturing campus, non critical government organization, railway, utility, hospital, or other organization that requires a cost effective professional grade communications system, you need to consider BeOn. Continued use of GPS by BeOn running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

This requires Motorola Flex 6.3 with the 2020.2.2 or later release. The Flex Touch® app is designed to provide public safety agencies a quick and convenient way to access common Motorola Flex features using a smartphone or tablet. Personnel with the proper credentials can use Flex Touch to monitor their agency’s calls from anywhere and at any time from the convenience of a mobile device. Flex Touch allows personnel to search their agency database for names, property, vehicles, and incidents from a mobile device. Personnel can also view Flex Involvements® related to any record. In addition, the module helps promote officer safety by displaying records with warrants or alert warnings. The user-friendly design makes it easy for personnel to quickly learn how to navigate the app. Flex Touch allows personnel to access real-time call updates by viewing all active calls, call nature, and any assigned units. Each user can customize the list of calls and units within the jurisdiction. Calls are organized by unit status, providing a quick way to see whether officers have arrived on the scene and if a unit’s timer has expired. When a user has been assigned to a call, that information is displayed prominently. In addition to accessing information, Touch allows first responders to more efficiently complete their work. Users can view call comments and enter their own comments from their mobile device. Using Touch, users can quickly add photos or documents from their mobile device to a record or to a report. Flex Touch requires that the agency uses Motorola Flex and has already purchased the Flex Touch module.
