SaskTel launches 4G Push-to-Talk (4G PTT) service, the new
alternative for the current 10-4 service that operates on the CDMA
network. SaskTel selected Kodiak
Networks InstaPoC™ as the technology platform for its next generation of 4G
PTT. The new 4G PTT service will run over SaskTel's 4G network that covers more
than 98 per cent of Saskatchewan's population and connects to the national 4G
network.
"Working closely with Kodiak, we have developed an excellent
service for our 4G customers," said Jason Durant, SaskTel’s acting Chief
Marketing Officer, "We expect the transition to be smooth. We will waive any early device upgrade fees
for current 10-4 subscribers who are ready to upgrade to the new 4G Push-to-Talk
devices so they can continue to enjoy the benefits of push-to-talk."
