The World has Changed!

Traditional two-way radio networks were the established form of communication for many decades. Now, with the stability and reliability of modern mobile networks, new ways of communicating have been developed that remove the previous restrictions of range and excessive infrastructure cost.

What is PoC?

Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) provides two-way radio services over 3G, and LTE technology, creating a worldwide radio network that utilises the cellular infrastructure of Mobile Network Operators. This enables radio networks with very wide coverage areas. Radio users untethered by the range of repeaters and base stations used in traditional radio networks.

How PoC Works?

PoC devices connect to the cellular infrastructure networks of Mobile Network Operators, using an IoT SIM card identical to those installed in cell phones. PoC network services are hosted in the Cloud. The Cloud services are located on privately hosted servers owned and operated by the PoC platform. Gateway routers provide connectivity between the Mobile Network Operator networks and the PoC servers.

The Advantages

The advantage is a highly reliable network that requires no network infrastructure investment and maintenance. An App on the radio (typically an Android or Linux operating system) provides simple and convenient access to PoC services.

PoC Radios also support WLAN (WI-FI) connectivity. The WLAN capability enables calls inside buildings with WLAN network coverage that fills gaps where an LTE network has limited connectivity. PoC radios automatically and seamlessly switch to an LTE network when a caller moves outside WLAN network range.
