iWalkie Mobile Software: PDA, Smartphone

iWalkie™ = Internet Walkie Talkie (SoftRadio)

iWalkie is a unique software application allowing users of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to communicate via two-way radiotype calls. iWalkie provides Internet Protocol-based walkie talkie functionality with GSM analog voice quality, and unlike other walkie talkie solutions available to the public safety community, supports communication among multiple users. iWalkie is a thin-client application, running in the background of records check, citation and related public safety
applications deployed on PDAs.

Solutions Overview

Software and hardware that works together to unify different forms of communications devices. Specifically, We use technology known as Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) to provide its unified communications solutions.

These solutions allow users of fixed and wireless communications devices, such as computers, Personal Digital Assistants (“PDAs”), SmartPhones and two-way radios to communicate with one another. Many times these users want to communicate, but they have different devices, operate on different spectrum bands, or they are located in different geographic areas. iWalkie unifies communications across these different devices, frequencies, and locations.

First responders like police and firemen have a special term for unification of communications, -- “interoperability.”

The software developed for interoperability consists of two components: (1) a central server, hosted either by iWalkie or by the customer,-- their choice,-- and (2) end user software that runs on the customer’s device, whether it’s a policeman’s two-way radio, a college student’s Personal Digital Assistant (“PDA”), a desktop PC or a laptop.

iWalkie solutions target the following distinct customers:

(1) Public Safety and Homeland Security;

(2) Business and industrial users with multiple locations and/or mobile workforces;

(3) The consumer marketplace for wireless voice services over PDAs, smartphones, laptops, tablet PCs, and desktop computers;

(4) Campus alert communications for universities, stadiums, hospitals, and similar facilities.

The four market segments listed above exist internationally as well as domestically. iWalkie is well positioned to integrate its technology worldwide into products such as PDAs and laptops. iWalkie's ownership of intellectual property makes it uniquely suited to provide its solutions both directly through its manufactured products, and through licensing and similar partnership arrangements.
