The first-of-their-kind suite of solutions removes language barriers to enable communications across enterprise, healthcare, education, logistics, events and one-on-one interactions.
Having sold over one million devices since 2018, Pocketalk’s business evolution to a global communication company is now accelerated with the advancement of Pocketalk for Business, providing industry-first software solutions that address the dynamic needs of modern day organizations.

The partnership agreement will focus on the sales of one million new Pocketalk handheld devices and support the suite of enterprise solutions, including those announced today at IFA.
