Cingular Wireless has deployed Kodiak Networks' Real-Time Exchange (RTX) System to power new voice services, including Push to Talk (PTT). The Kodiak RTX supports various capabilities included in Cingular's initial service launch, including:
- Mobile user availability -- displays the current availability of friends, family, co-workers, customers and suppliers to receive a wireless call. Availability includes "available", "silent mode", "do not disturb", and "offline" states.
- Voice Messaging - allows instant voice messaging from Kodiak-enabled phones to contacts/groups with any wireless or landline phone - without waiting to leave a message or ringing the other person's phone.
- Call Me Alerts - allows individuals to send onscreen call alerts to users who are away from their phone or have their phone turned off.
- Quick Groups - Allows users to quickly create groups on their handset by simply selecting contact names and then initiating a group call.
- Handset-Based Contact Management - Customers can manage their contact lists directly on their handset contacts or via a web interface. Contact information is automatically stored on the carrier network and can be instantly retrieved in the case of a lost or stolen phone.
Kodiak said its handset software and thin client is available on handsets produced by Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, LG, Kyocera, Sagem, TCL Alcatel and PalmOne.
