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.
