A method for hosting a cloud-based broadband push-to-talk (PTT) configuration application includes detecting a user action taken at a remote client device providing an interface to the configuration application including an activation of an add group graphical object for adding a new group to an existing broadband PTT radio system, and further includes entrance of a unique identifier for the new group and entrance of whether the new group is a broadband-only group or a converged broadband and land-mobile-radio (LMR) group. A voice service stack associated with the broadband PTT radio system is updated to include the new group and existing other broadband mobile radios are updated via a voice service stack to reflect the added new group. Where the type of the new group is a converged broadband and LMR group, an LMR interface stack of the LMR radio system is updated to reflect the newly added group.

Method and apparatus for a cloud-based broadband push-to-talk configuration portal

A system and method for fulfilling a customer order including a desired quantity of portable communication devices. The method includes receiving the customer order, receiving at least one unique identifier for each of the portable communication devices of the desired quantity, and transmitting each of the at least one unique identifier to a provisioning server, from the order processing management computer. The method further includes associating the at least one unique identifier with a subscription to a service network of a mobile virtual network operator, transmitting the at least one unique identifier to the mobile virtual network operator to activate an integrated circuit card for each of the portable communication device, receiving updated subscription information for each of the portable communication devices, and transmitting, the updated subscription information for each of the portable communication devices to the device management server, via the provisioning server.

Automatic device fulfillment configuration

A method and system for preparing a portable communication device for onboarding to a service network. The system includes a provisioning server, a device management server, and a factory computer. The factory computer is configured to call the provisioning server with a message that includes at least one unique identifier of the portable communication device and a certificate signing request. The provisioning server is configured to store the at least one unique identifier, register, using the at least one unique identifier, the portable communication device with the device management server, and transmit, in response to the message from the factory computer, a signed certificate and an endpoint address to the factory computer.

Automatic communication device onboarding

A push-to-talk headset can include one or more user-actuatable switches, user-actuatable adjustment devices or the like that are electrically coupled to a pulse generator circuit. Responsive to detected state transitions of the one or more user-actuatable switches, user-actuatable adjustment devices or the like, a number of signals comprising a number of pulses may be communicated to a portable electronic device communicably coupled to the push-to-talk headset. At least a first of these signals having a first number of pulses may be used to place the portable electronic device in a push-to-talk mode. At least a second of these signals having a second number of pulses may be used by the operating system to remove the portable electronic device from the push-to-talk mode.

Pulsed input push-to-talk systems, methods and apparatus

An adaptor that includes a male connector, a control circuit, and a wireless transceiver coupleable to a corresponding female connector on a portable electronic device provides push-to-talk functionality on the portable electronic device. In conjunction with the device operating system, the adaptor converts a first incoming signal to a first number of low impedance/high impedance pulses detectable by the portable electronic device to initiate a push-to-talk session. During the push-to-talk session, the adaptor transceiver wirelessly transmits and receives communication signals (e.g., audio signals) to and from an accessory device communicably coupled to the adapter. In conjunction with the device operating system, the adaptor converts a second incoming signal to a second number of low impedance/high impedance pulses detectable by the portable electronic device to terminate the push-to-talk session.

Pulsed input push-to-talk wireless adapter systems and methods

A system and method are provided wherein information is disseminated using a reliable IP multicast network implementation coupled with dynamically assigned proxy nodes serving as zonal aggregation points. These nodes share information with each other over the reliable IP multicast network, augmenting this function with a reliable point-to-point communication infrastructure between proxy nodes in those instances where IP multicast is not available or prone to error.

Method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture for reliable low-bandwidth information delivery across mixed-mode unicast and multicast networks

A system and method is described for establishing a homogenized communications infrastructure that enables a variety of disparate communication devices to communicate transparently with each other over a computer data network. The system and method allow for such communications to take place by converting all communications from all participants in the form of audio, video, textual, and binary data messages into discrete data units that are carried over a computer data network. These communications are propagated to other participants by relay to their particular devices in such a way that individual participants are insulated from the type and implementation of all other participants' devices.
