Now Available: TalkForce Mobile Apps for iPhone and Android

Turn any smartphone into a fully integrated push-to-talk device. The new TalkForce mobile apps for iOS and Android bring your cell phone team into the same PTT network as your rugged radios.

Your team doesn't all carry rugged radios — and they shouldn't have to. Today we're announcing the TalkForce mobile apps for iPhone and Android, bringing every smartphone into the same enterprise push-to-talk network as your physical devices.

One Network, Every Device

Until now, mixing radio users and cell phone users meant juggling separate apps, separate group chats, or fragmented communication. With the TalkForce mobile apps, everyone is on the same channel — drivers with rugged radios, supervisors with iPhones, and field techs with Android phones all hear the same transmissions in real time.

Built for iPhone and Android

The native apps are available for both major mobile platforms:

iOS app — optimized for iPhone, with CarPlay support and Apple Watch quick-key PTT
Android app — works with hardware PTT buttons on rugged Android devices (Sonim, Kyocera, Samsung XCover, and more)

Both apps install in minutes from the App Store and Google Play. No special hardware required — your existing phones just join the network.

Full Feature Parity

The mobile apps aren't a stripped-down version. They include the same enterprise features as our dedicated devices:

Instant push-to-talk to individuals, groups, or your entire fleet
Real-time GPS tracking so dispatch sees every team member on the map
Full transmission recording for compliance and dispute resolution
Real-time AI translation across 6 languages
Emergency SOS with automatic detection and dispatch alerting
AI transcripts and daily summaries of all communications
Background mode — receive transmissions even with the app closed and screen off

Perfect for Hybrid Teams

The mobile apps are ideal for organizations with mixed communication needs:

Logistics & delivery — drivers on rugged radios, dispatchers on iPhones
Construction — crews on PTT devices, project managers on Android phones
Healthcare — nurses on radios, administrators on mobile
Hospitality — front-of-house staff on phones, security on rugged devices
Field service — techs in the field on either device, all connected

Bring Your Own Phone

For many customers, the mobile apps eliminate the need to purchase additional hardware for office staff, supervisors, and occasional users. You only buy rugged TalkForce devices for the team members who actually need them — everyone else just installs the app.

Same Dedicated Infrastructure

Mobile app users connect through the same dedicated server as your radio users, with the same 99.999% uptime SLA, 256-bit encryption, and US-based infrastructure. There's no compromise in reliability when adding cell phones to the network.
