What is a PWA (Progressive Web App)?

A progressive web app (PWA) is a website that looks and behaves as if it is a Desktop app. PWAs are built to take advantage of native mobile device features, without requiring the end user to visit an app store, make a purchase and download software locally. This means you are able to download the NOVA Web App to your PC, and it will behave like a stand alone application. You will be able to receive windows/MAC notifications of incoming/missed calls, voicemails, chat/SMS, etc. In addition, you can choose the NOVA Web Phone as a dialer when using built in click 2 call functions on your machine.
