Airbus Tactilon Agnet PTT multimedia app

Airbus Defence and Space has introduced Tactilon Agnet, a group communication application for voice, data and video over LTE, offering more possibilities than the classical PTT functions for voice calls. Previously, users with smartphones could initiate a group call. With Tactilon Agnet, a group member can also immediately and securely send photos and videos at the push of a button. As a result, emergency personnel can work more quickly and successfully to locate and rescue people.

Tactilon Agnet also has LTE quality of service (QoS) and multimedia capabilities, such as photos and videos. It is fully aligned with the standard Release 13 for Mission Critical Push to Talk (MCPPT) of the 3GPP, a global organisation that sets international telecommunications standards. The multimedia functions of Tactilon Agnet are based already on the principles of future Release 14, focusing on mission-critical enhancements such as mission-critical data and Video over LTE.
