Standard Zello can definitely be confusing when you have a lot of contacts, and if you're trying to get multiple people onto one talkgroup, it can also be a hassle. It appears that T-Mobile, being the outlier among major carriers, has a tie-in with ESChat. Zello for Work and ESChat also operate along these same lines, although IMHO are less stable and less effective than Kodiak. You can manually input contacts you wish to communicate with, no problem, but it's all based on a corporate web portal, where you can add and change designators and accounts, much like if you operated, say, an ambulance service, or a delivery company, or something along those lines.
Capitol zello how to#
To date, in extensive talks with all 3 carriers, none seem to have any idea how to do such a thing, and all are surprised to hear that their company states that it's possible in advertising materials.Īlso, all of the Kodiak options operate as a dedicated corporate account would operate. It should be noted that Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T all claim that there is carrier interoperability, and that non-carrier members may use the service, by adding a "cross-carrier account".
The only way around that with Kodiak is to use Motorola WAVE. With the exception of the Motorola product, all of them are locked to carrier dependency, so you can only talk to other users who have both the service, as well as the same carrier, as you. These options include Motorola WAVE OnCloud (the most flexible), Sprint Direct Connect Plus, Verizon Push To Talk Plus, and AT&T Enhanced PTT.
They meet Mission Critical standard, and are about as reliable as you can get for PoC comms. I can attest that all of the Kodiak-based platforms are solid.
