Business Solutions Gain Momentum
Last summer, Pocketalk announced the launch of Ventana, the central administrative panel that empowers organizations with translation insights and device management capabilities. In the first half of 2024, Pocketalk has further enhanced and expanded Ventana’s capabilities, reaching new heights. Ventana is now widely used by schools, hospitals, oil companies, and various other organizations around the world, underscoring its effectiveness across diverse industries.

The latest updates to Ventana have catalyzed a widespread adoption of the solution among Pocketalk’s current and new enterprise customers. In the first quarter of 2024, Pocketalk has secured numerous multi-year enterprise contracts for Ventana, alongside Pocketalk device purchase orders for organizations in education and government.

Partnerships Strengthen
To begin 2024, Pocketalk secured key business partnerships, expanded their reach and strengthened their existing relationships in numerous ways. The brand launched their new partnership with TD Synnex in January. With TD Synnex as their distribution partner, Pocketalk is able to easily differentiate itself from competitors and directly reach potential enterprise customers across the globe in their key business verticals.

Pocketalk is also expanding their impact in the energy, oil & gas industry, with the help of their partner, CAVU International. In this partnership, Pocketalk’s translation devices are integrated into CAVU’s global leadership training programs, providing leaders with the translation technology needed to ensure safety and consistency among their linguistically diverse workforce. Through this activity, Pocketalk is entering conversations with leading energy, oil and gas providers to implement or expand their use of Pocketalk devices.

In a continuous effort to engage with potential partners in key industries, Pocketalk has ramped up their trade show appearances to begin the year. Pocketalk has already attended or exhibited at over 10 trade shows across the globe. The company has made connections with potential partners at trade shows like FETC, BETT UK, Spring CUE 2024, ASHHRA Conference and SantExpo. Pocketalk was a recent exhibitor at ISTELive 2024 in Denver, and received a Best in Show recognition from Tech & Learning for their advancements in supporting education technology professionals and education leaders with language inclusion in districts, schools and classrooms.

“We’re excited to welcome our new partners to join our mission, and support the language needs of people around the world,” explains Doug Beiter, Pocketalk’s Head of Global Partnerships. “Our work at trade shows has allowed us to speak directly with the people on the ground, understanding their pain points and working together to discover how Pocketalk can help alleviate them. Together, with our partners, we can work to remove language barriers completely.”

All Spoken Here Campaign Launches
Pocketalk launched their #AllSpokenHere campaign in January, with the goal of connecting people from diverse linguistic backgrounds, promoting a world of inclusivity and seamless interaction. The campaign introduced distinctive badges – both physical and digital – for organizations to display that their services are accessible to speakers of all languages. These badges are not merely symbols; they are invitations to engage, learn, and connect.

As more organizations begin to understand the importance of language inclusivity, many are turning to Pocketalk to become more accessible. This quarter saw many significant government organizations and schools join the campaign to remove language barriers for non-English speakers in the US, including a deal worth $1 Million with Paterson City School District in New Jersey.

The City of Denver will be using Pocketalk devices in their primary elections this summer to increase voting access for non-English speakers in Denver, per a recent announcement from the Denver Clerk and Recorder.

The most notable organization that has adopted Pocketalk in the first quarter is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which is currently running a trial of Pocketalk devices in ten airports across the country, including Philadelphia Airport and John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City.

Pocketalk welcomes individuals and organizations to join the language revolution and contribute to a world where everyone is welcome to the conversation.

New Generation Centralized Control System Promotes “Integrated Operation Monitoring”

Published

on

By

BORTALA, China, Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On December 26, personnel at the monitoring operation and maintenance center of the State Grid Bortala Power Supply Company were conducting acceptance testing for the new generation centralized control system. The company is actively promoting the application of this new system to facilitate “integrated operation monitoring” and enhance the risk management capabilities and equipment refinement levels of the power grid.

The new generation centralized control system serves as a technical support system for monitoring the operational status and fault defects of grid equipment. It acts as the “eyes” and “hands” for managing the operation of power grid equipment. Compared with the old Open3000 system, it optimizes the human-machine interface, refines system functions, and achieves comprehensive awareness of equipment status, defect detection, and proactive early warning, thereby providing efficient information processing capabilities to ensure that monitoring personnel can supervise equipment operation in real time.

During the system construction process, the company actively adapts to changes in production models, scientifically formulates project timelines, and deepens new operation and maintenance management models, such as “unattended + centralized monitoring” and “equipment owner + general practitioner.” This enhances the construction of the new centralized monitoring system and the integration of substation sites, providing comprehensive and robust monitoring support for the reliable operation of the Bortala power grid.

Up to now, the company has completed the construction of the main station of the new generation centralized control system, software and hardware debugging, graphic drawing and other tasks, as well as the station-end access of the new generation centralized control system for 54 substations, the entry of monitoring information into the database, and the forwarding of the front-end data of the new generation centralized control system within the centralized control range. The company carries out the orderly supplementation of monitoring information points for access devices and the verification of remote control information at substations.

In the next step, the company will  actively explore digital transformation, strengthen modern team construction, and innovate practices in intelligent monitoring and business collaboration, all aimed at advancing the construction of modern centralized control stations to ensure the safe and stable operation of equipment.
