ICE Desktop™ is a PC-based application that enables your company to manage Push-to-Talk (PTT) communications across your organization via mobile devices, radios, IP phones, and PCs. This application supports two modes of operation: Tactical and Enterprise.

A standalone component of Instant Connect, ICE Desktop provides Push-to-Talk, intercom channels, GPS based location tracking, user monitoring, and channel management through an intuitive user interface that runs on a client PC. It also enables management of Instant Connect resources and control of Instant Connect Missions that provide Push-to-Talk channels without a connection to any server infrastructure.

Instant Connect turns your PC into a communication hub that allows you to communicate across your company's communication devices individually and in talk groups. A user can sign in from any location with network connectivity and manage activities for a group of mobile (PTT) users.
