Private push-to-talk call: Users can now make private point-to-point push-to-talk calls. Calling users can

pick a contact from the list and make a private call. The use

r’s phone will start to ring, indicating the

acceptance or rejection of the private PTT call. When the called party accepts a call, he or she leaves the

group call and joins a new private PTT channel. Personal communications can take place without having

everyone hear the PTT call.

●

Mapping: Users can now see where other people are by pressing the mapping icon. This will bring up a

visual map showing where users are from the contact directory.

●

Instant Connect administration: Users with proper authority can now create virtual talk groups (VTGs)

and talk lines, scan VTGs, and broadcast VTGs. They can also add and delete users on these talk lines and

resources from scan VTGs or broadcast VTGs.

●

Low-bandwidth audio: The Instant Connect mobile client now uses the Internet Low Bitrate Codec (ILBC),

which encodes audio at 40 Kbps, reducing overall data costs.

●

Cisco Jabber Cross-Launch:

Now Instant Connect users can just click on a person’s phone number in the

contacts list and make a Cisco Jabber voice or video call right from the Instant Connect user experience

(Figure 4). This is perfect for Unified Communications customers who need instant group collaboration and

also want personal audio or video collaboration. We have also released an Android Instant Connect client

for use with the Cisco DX and CX series products. Now Cisco phones can be turned into a full dispatch

endpoint for up to 10 simultaneous channels.
