Diga-Talk Launches Commercial Radio Service in the Greater Chicago
Metropolitan Area


 

JOLIET, Ill., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- A Beep, LLC of Joliet Illinois has
announced the commercial launch of Diga-Talk. Diga-Talk is an all-digital
2-way communications network for business. Business owners have been searching
for many years for the right communication tool to communicate with and
operate their business effectively and economically. Business owners with
employees traveling throughout a wide-area know the problems associated with
communicating with their people. Many owners have equipped their people with
cellular phones, but the phones themselves create many problems for most
users. Businesses that dispatch service calls to medium and large fleets are
unable to talk to all of their people at the same time with a cellular phone.
Many times they find that the person they need to talk with is busy talking to
someone else on their phone. Cellular phones are also prone to abuse where
employees often use them to talk to friends and relatives during working
hours, all at the business owner's expense.

Historically businesses that needed the ability to talk to all of their field
units simultaneously used some type of 2-way radio system. Even though these
expensive 2-way radios communicated over many miles, they still lacked the
wide-area regional coverage needed by most growing businesses. These older
radios required too much operator intervention, had many locations were they
were "out of range" and could be easily overheard by competitors with radio
scanners.

Here comes Diga-Talk, a new revolutionary tool that fixes these problems.
Diga-Talk is a wide-area all-digital secure communication network for
business. This easy-to-use Diga-Talk unit provides instant communications only
to other properly programmed Diga-Talk units. It can be programmed for group
calls to talk to all of the Diga-Talk units in the company at the same time,
or it is able to make private one-to-one direct calls.

Unlike previous 2-way radios, Diga-Talk is completely automatic as it roams
throughout the coverage area. The Diga-Talk subscriber unit automatically uses
one of the closest communications towers that blanket the region. The
Diga-Talk unit can be equipped with automatic vehicle location that utilizes
GPS. The GPS is able to report the Diga-Talk location and other events that
occur such as a door opening and closing on a vehicle. Diga-Talk can be
vehicle mounted, set-up as a dedicated office base station and available in a
hand-held walkie-talkie style unit.

Diga-Talk subscriber unit utilizes Nexedge NXDN digital technology and
equipment distributed by Kenwood U.S.A. Corporation. The Diga-Talk system in
the Chicago Metropolitan area is currently the largest system of its kind in
the world.
