AddSecure, a leading European provider of secure IoT connectivity and end-to-end solutions, today announced that it has acquired GroupTalk, a European market leader in cloud-based push-to-talk (PTT) solutions. This strategic move aims to enhance AddSecure’s offerings for both existing and new customers, further strengthening the company’s market position.

GroupTalk specialises in cloud-based push-to-talk solutions, offering business-critical communications services to various sectors including public safety, security, and aviation. Their platform empowers mobile workforces with real-time collaboration and instant group communication, crucial for effective operations in many industries. Customers include SAS, the Dutch police, Securitas, Volvo, Filmstaden, and others.

AddSecure has been following the push-to-talk market closely and recognised the potential of GroupTalk early on.

“GroupTalk is one of the few pure SaaS providers in the PTT market, offering a secure, reliable and scalable platform with global coverage. When the opportunity to acquire them evolved, it was a natural next step. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our strategy to expand our offering in secure critical communications and provide even greater value to our customers,” said Stefan Albertsson, CEO of AddSecure.

Through this acquisition, GroupTalk gains the opportunity to join a larger organisation, expand internationally, leverage AddSecure’s enhanced sales and marketing capabilities and benefit from ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001 experience within the organisation.

The combination of Group Talk's industry-leading PTT solutions and AddSecure's extensive offerings and broad market presence unlocks new opportunities for cross-selling and upselling, while also supporting international growth.

“Joining AddSecure marks an exciting new chapter for us. Together, we will leverage our combined strengths to deliver innovative, secure solutions that drive growth and create greater value for both our existing and new customers," said Magnus Hedberg, Managing Director of GroupTalk.
