Literally no idea whatsoever what that means, but it came with a good photograph (EXIF DATA: Nikon D2X) so is getting some coverage.

InTechnology partners with The Healthcare Facilities Consortium to deliver Push To Experience into the NHS

PTX is ideal for NHS staff

InTechnology has signed a partnership agreement with The Healthcare Facilities Consortium (HFC) for the supply of InTechnology's Push To Experience (PTX) service into the NHS. HFC is a specialist, not-for-profit membership organisation that provides a range of membership benefits as well as software, information and management support services to professionals working in facilities, estates and related functions in the UK health sector. Specifically, InTechnology's PTX service will be available at a discounted rate to HFC members, representing significant savings for healthcare organisations.

Launched by InTechnology at the end of 2008, PTX is a new mobile service designed for remote workers who need to remain in close contact at the touch of a button. A natural successor to traditional 2-way radio (PMR) services, PTX utilises the global GSM network and low-cost handsets to improve coverage and allow everyone using the service to communicate quickly as well as cheaply. PTX incorporates several services in one package, including Push to Talk, Push to Locate and Push to Alert.

PTX is ideal for the NHS and emergency services market where traditionally workers have had to carry several different portable devices, including a mobile phone, radio and other devices. This is no longer necessary because PTX enabled handsets are highly integrated communication devices combining the functionality of a mobile phone with the instant communication of a 2-way radio. PTX also has almost unlimited geographic coverage which makes it a perfect solution for organisations with large field workforces.

"Working with HFC and Focused FM will give us direct access to over 600 healthcare trusts," explains Richard Quine, Director of Product Management for InTechnology. "Their expertise in the health sector is important because any solutions being sold into this vast and complex market need to be tailored and delivered appropriately."
