Zello Work is a paid subscription service. For information on pricing, see this page. Zello Work offers the following features that are not available within the consumer version of Zello:
|
Zello Work Feature |
Details |
|
With Zello Work, you will get a secure and private network with full control over who can access the network and which users communicate with each other within your network. |
|
|
Secure encryption |
All Zello Work communications are encrypted. However, the encryption method varies based on message type:
1:1 messages sent on Zello Friends & Family are encrypted end-to-end, but public channel messages are not encrypted whatsoever. |
|
Dedicated servers |
Zello Work operates on a physically separate network of servers that are specifically sized to meet the capacity needs of businesses. The free consumer Zello app, on occasion, may be affected by peak usage that can be unpredictable. |
|
Host Zello Work on your own local WiFi or LAN network for ultimate control and privacy. The on-premise server option is intended for clients who need maximum security, are located in remote areas with little to no internet connection, or have existing servers hosting all other software components. |
|
|
One of Zello Work's premium features is a dedicated SOS alert button that sends an alert, ten seconds of live audio, and location into your specified emergency channel. This is designed for businesses with lone-worker and hazardous environments. |
|
|
Zello Work offers you a web-based management interface to configure and control users, their devices, and channels. It also shows live user statuses and has a plethora of settings that allow you to fully customize your network. |
|
|
Zello Work includes support for a radio gateway solution that lets you seamlessly integrate your existing two-way radio network to Zello smartphones. (Note: Both Zello Work and free Zello can be integrated with radio gateway solutions.) |
|
|
Zello Work's Dispatch Hub is a desktop app that provides visualization of a shared queue of incoming calls that dispatchers can respond to, replay, or discard. Your dispatchers always know who messaged when, as well as what’s next on their list. Additionally, Zello Work admins have access to dispatch analytics that provide insight into their team's dispatching activities. Learn more. |
|
|
Location tracking and Premium Maps |
The Management Console offers a real-time mapping feature that displays a user's current location on OpenStreetMap, device battery level, and speed of travel. The Premium Map upgrade adds Google Maps and traffic services, along with 6 months of Location History (bread-crumb trail). |
|
Message vault is a premium feature that allows you to archive all voice messages, photos, and texts for up to two years. This data can also be exported from the Management Console in a CSV format. |
|
|
You can use this feature to add new users and admins by cloning an existing record. Cloning can be done from a user's details screen or with the Import Users feature. |
|
|
Zello Work network administrators can choose who their users can hear and speak to within a channel.
For Example, Driver and dispatch roles can be created, so drivers do not have to hear each other within a channel to reduce noise and distractions while driving. Broadcast channels can be created to make important announcements and limit who can reply within the same channel. |
|
|
Technical support |
Zello Work customers have access to a dedicated technical support team to quickly resolve issues and answer questions.

|
