TAIT AXIOM Wearable with ESChat

The TAIT AXIOM Wearable is a rugged broadband communications device for staff members who need to contribute to or monitor their radio network traffic but without the expense of a dedicated radio unit, in order to extend coverage beyond their radio network footprint or to broadband-enable their existing portable radios. First released in 2022 with support for DMR Tier 3, the device can now also connect to P25, DMR Tier 2 and analog networks.

The device has been made compatible with Tait TeamPTT and ESChat solutions, enabling connection to any LMR network. As a result of integrating the ESChat application with the wearable, public safety and other first-responder agencies using P25-standard radio networks can achieve the benefits of the device. The development is the result of a long-term technology partnership between Tait and ESChat.

The wearable is suitable for staff who don’t need a fully optioned portable radio, enabling them to contribute to all radio traffic from anywhere there is broadband connectivity such as Wi-Fi or LTE. The addition of ESChat provides customers a public safety-grade broadband PTT solution. When combined with ESChat’s wireline integrations, ESChat-enabled devices offer seamless interoperability with LMR, dispatch, CAD and logging recorder solutions.
