Connect teams across multiple sites or national operations.
Push-to-Talk over Cellular
Connect dispersed teams over 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi.
PTToC gives teams instant one-to-one and group voice across wide geographic areas while adding messaging, location and smart-device workflows. It is best where users need cellular coverage and more functionality than traditional radio alone.
Operational outcomes
What this solution is designed to improve.
The operating model should match where people work, how quickly they need to reach each other and whether voice must sit alongside messaging, location, dispatch or Android workflows.
Combine PTT with messaging, location and Android applications.
Use smartphones, rugged Android devices or dedicated PTT hardware.
Combine PTToC with DMR where different roles need different resilience.
The power of push-to-talk in the field
One push. The right team hears it.
Give frontline teams an immediate voice channel while they keep moving, working and responding — whether they are airside, on site, in a hospital estate or supporting distributed infrastructure.

Push-to-Talk over Cellular: the key buying questions
Straight answers for organisations comparing PoC, PTToC and traditional radio communications.
What is Push-to-Talk over Cellular?
Push-to-Talk over Cellular uses mobile data or Wi-Fi to provide instant one-to-one or group voice communications through smartphones, rugged devices, dedicated PoC radios or desktop dispatch applications.
How is PTToC different from two-way radio?
Traditional two-way radio communicates over dedicated radio spectrum and infrastructure. PTToC uses IP connectivity, making it easier to connect users over large geographic areas and add software features such as dispatch, location and messaging. The best choice depends on coverage, resilience, licensing and workflow.
Can PTToC connect workers across multiple sites?
Yes. Because PTToC works over cellular data and Wi-Fi, authorised users can usually communicate across sites, regions or countries rather than being limited to one local radio system, subject to network availability and platform configuration.
