Push To Talk Over Cellular LTE PoC

Global Communications

What is Push-To-Talk-Over-Cellular?

PTT Over Cellular (PoC) is a cellular based two way radio that communicates using the existing 3G / 4G LTE network. PoC solutions first appeared on the market over a decade ago using the existing 2G network, however since the commercial 4G LTE rollout, fast data speeds and low latency now means Push-To-Talk-Over-Cellular combines global network coverage with reliable performance.

What Can You Expect From A Push To Talk Over Cellular Platform?

A push to talk over cellular platform offers users instant private group / team communication over multiple channels with a potentially unlimited range. There are further features that our LTE platform offers which include, individual private call, live user location mapping, tracking history, video calling, dedicated emergency button and emergency mapping to name a few.

Why Use PoC Instead Of A Mobile Phone?

PoC is designed to be used in commercial environments where you need to talk to one or more users instantly, with no connection delays. There is no need to dial numbers, you simply push the button to speak to the desired user or group. Unlike other platforms such as Whats App which is not designed for business use, our PoC platform allows you to have access to live user locations, instant group communication, push devices to video and enable devices microphones in emergency situation, reducing responce times.

What Is Involved In The Installation Of A System?

Getting up and running with a PoC system is simple and straight forward, no repeaters, no infrastructure, no radio programming, no licencing costs. The platform can be hosted on devices and sim cards we can supply or you can host this on your own mobile phone as an app.

4G Coverage In My Area Is Inconsistent, Does This Mean I Cannot Use The System?

The SIM cards used in our PoC solutions are not locked to one network supplier, it is a multi roaming SIM. A roaming SIM will pick up the strongest network, whether that is a 4G signal or a 3G signal. Also our PoC solution can work over the Wi-Fi network, which is a great solution if you are in and out of buildings or have stubborn areas of coverage within a building.

Here at RadioTrader we have spent a great deal of time looking at the push to talk over cellular market and evaluating the potential this brings to the two way radio industry. We have carefully considered various platforms and extensively tested each. Unlike other companies, rather than advertise everything we have been offered, we have waited until the complete solution came along. Now is that time!

Connect Plus is more than just a push to talk over cellular platform, it has the ability to expand further, pushing communications and features that previously would not have been possible in the two way radio industry. Using Connect Plus you can create your own network for multiple purposes, ranging from global group communication, individual private calling, video calling, live user location, historical location tracking and multiple emergency features to name a few.

RadioTraders Connect Plus platform is unrivalled in terms of flexibility and can be supplied in multiple different ways for different contract lengths, whether that be app only running for 1 month or app, device and multi roaming sim card required for a 24 month period, anything is possible. An important point to make is that unlike other multi roaming sim cards, our Connect Plus sim cards are totally non-steered and will never favour a parent network over stronger carrier signals.
