ION Orchard Push to Talk Contract Extended

SINGAPORE, 28 June 2022 – Smartcom Pte Ltd announced that it had reached an agreement with Singapore’s premier shopping mall ION Orchard, to extend their contract for an additional two years for their push-to-talk (PTT) solutions for improving business efficiency and worker safety.

ION Orchard had previously used Smartcom’s MCPTT device, a smart and rugged 4G LTE PTT device powered by the Android platform. The device is designed for use in the mission-critical communication field and supports push-to-talk function. Combining group calling and GPS location makes Smartcom’s solution ideal for ION Orchard in managing operational staff and departments that are in constant movement, from store managers, security staff, and engineering to housekeeping and grounds keeping. Smartcom’s solution is integrated with the TASSTA platform that can help ION Orchard to utilise multiple features in one device such as Lone Worker Protection (LWP) Alarm, Man Down alerts, GPS localization, and QR Code or NFC chip scanning.

Smartcom Pte Ltd stated that “We’re honoured to support ION Orchard as Singapore’s premier shopping mall on improving their operational activities while prioritising safety and providing an ideal shopping experience to the ION Orchard visitors”. Smartcom Pte Ltd commits to delivering excellent products and services to all customers. Besides supporting reliable communication for managing shopping mall operations, Smartcom Pte Ltd also provides products for various industries in Singapore such as healthcare, hotel & hospitality, emergency services, security, oil & gas, building & construction, logistics, and transportation companies.

Push to Talk at ION Orchard: What It Means for Mall Teams

In a busy mall, store managers, security, engineering and housekeeping staff are always on the move. With push to talk, each team can reach the whole group with one button. Because the device runs on 4G LTE, staff stay connected across the property. In addition, GPS location helps supervisors see where team members are when help is needed.

Other malls, hotels and facilities in Singapore can use the same approach. To find out more, read about our Push-to-Talk solution, browse our rugged PTT devices, or see the MCPTT PSG grant package.
