The term ptt-radio (push-to-talk radio) also known by a few other names like POC (Push over cellular) has lately become the new buzzword in the communications industry, there are adverts popping up from almost everywhere. People and companies offering various models of radios at very competitive prices, but the one thing that most of us forgets is to actually explain the concept of the ptt-radio to our prospective clients.
We decided that we would give it a go at explaining it as simple as possible. So, what is a ptt radio? The main difference between a two-way radio as we know it and a ptt-radio is that the ptt-radio uses cellular signals to connect to a network and make a call, whereas the normal two-way radio is frequency dependent. a Ptt-radio therefore contains a sim-card just like the one in your cellular telephone. The sim-card makes use of the data connections on the cellular networks instead of the lines normally used for making a telephone call. By making use of the data transmissions the radio is therefore able to allow users to connect quickly and cheaply because the voice communication now only uses small fractions of data at a time.
Making use of this technology gives us the ability to give our clients coverage and connectivity in any part of the world where there is a cellular signal. The clients radios details and configurations are stored on a server network instead of on the radio. This allows "us" the service providers the ability to change or add features to a clients radio set-ups over the internet. By doing so we are able to assist our clients in a much more swift and cost efficient manner as the radio does not need to be taken to a dealer for programming changes. The ptt-radios do not require a license and can be used virtually instantly once your radios has been configured.
Our Ptt-radios offer many different models which we are sure would be a perfect fit for what ever your needs are!
