PUSH TO TALK OVER CELLULAR (POC)
Maximise business productivity at the lowest cost with a Push-To-Talk (PTT) Over Cellular communication system
A clear division has traditionally existed in enterprise communications. There are cellular device users (workers who need smartphones and other multi-functional endpoints for front-office multitasking). While other two-way radio users need rugged handheld devices that do one thing well – provide crystal-clear audio in often loud operational settings.
While before businesses were forced to choose one or the other, that divide has dissolved and enterprise today has access to more unified communications than ever before.
In fact, for the first time, there’s precedent for a handheld and vehicle mobile communication device that looks and acts like a two-way radio but is, in fact, a cellular endpoint. This technology is referred to as a push-to-talk over cellular radio or POC/PTTOC, and it is revolutionising the way you do your best work. We supply Motorola and Tooo Air PTT radios.
From a hardware perspective, the minimalist but robust design of POC makes perfect sense!
Why introduce Push-To-Talk over Cellular to your organisation?
Cellular networks in Australia provide expansive and comprehensive coverage. Conditions certainly exist where operating over a two-way radio network makes more sense; for example, data centre campuses, oil refineries and other large onsite facilities with high-risk operations that warrant on-premises radio coverage.
Cellular PTT has several intrinsic qualities that lend well to specific business circumstances, such as large commercial trucking fleets that need constant communication over vast geographies or field-maintenance teams that travel region-to-region to service industrial machinery. Under such conditions, POC radios have several key advantages:
PTT
RUGGEDNESS
HIGH AUDIO OUTPUT
DISTRACTION-FREE

FAQS
Yes, POC technology runs on carrier cellular networks, which all have comprehensive nationwide coverage. This setup is ideally suited to a business operation that spans the length of the east coast, for instance. Still, it needs a distraction-free, high-performance, rugged PTT communication system.
Yes, POC technology runs on carrier cellular networks, which all have comprehensive nationwide coverage. This setup is ideally suited to a business operation that spans the length of the east coast, for instance. Still, it needs a distraction-free, high-performance, rugged PTT communication system.
Yes, wireless networks can be remotely programmed to improve coverage if needed; for instance, Wi-Fi can be used in fortified structures and facilities with limited cell signal penetration.
Yes, an easily deployed system gateway facilitates seamless interoperability between POC and traditional MOTOTRBO systems.
Most POC devices feature built-in GPS, enabling businesses to track field technicians, maintenance workers and fleets in real-time using a web interface.
Deploying POC devices is fast and easy because the network infrastructure is already in place. No significant overhauls to existing systems are necessary for implementation. Users set up talk groups via an online portal to pre-program radios.
Suppliers offer POC devices in a predictable monthly pricing model. Just like consumer cellular plans.
Ease of implementation and simple pricing make POC devices ideal for temporary use cases or projects; this also means that new devices can be added or removed as needed easily.
No, the network is fully managed and maintained by the cellular carrier. No manual code plug programming is necessary (devices are completely configurable over the air). With simple PTT comparability, the learning curve for use is practically non-existent.
