SUWON, Korea – Samsung Electronics, a leading wireless communications company, announced the development of a working Push-to-All (PTA) solution. The demonstration of the PTA solution proto-type took place at the company's Telecommunications R&D Center in Suwon, Korea. This demonstration is among the first to permit a handheld device to conduct web and video conferencing in a single compact unit.The mobile communications solution incorporates Push-to-Talk (PTT), one to multi-user voice technology with the one to multi-user video conferencing ability of Push-to-View (PTV) and multimedia file sharing function of Push-to Data (PTD).
The core benefit of PTA handsets is synchronous web and video conferencing. Similar to a walkie-talkie with video capabilities, the speaker's image appears instantly on the handset screen of the user or multiple users on the call. It is a convenient and time-saving function that allows people in multiple locations to easily conduct web conferencing and video conferencing. In addition, the PTA handset allows a user to send an image, a video clip or music contents to multiple users through one simple operation on a mobile device.
Samsung Electronics plans to offer a commercialized PTA solution handset using not only EV-DO technology but also EDGE, UMTS, and WiFi standards.
