What is IP Radio?
Push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) technology enables subscribers to make one-to-many calls to different groups of people at the same time over a mobile operator’s network. One person can be in continuous half-duplex PTT communication with one or more active call groups with a single push of a physical button or touch screen.
There is no need for the caller to dial a phone number. The connection is made almost instantly providing a low latency to rival private PTT calls on Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) networks, also known as Land Mobile Radio (LMR). Unlike most PMR networks (unless they are national networks) subscribers also benefit from an almost unlimited coverage range as they can talk to anyone within the mobile network’s national coverage footprint.
The push-to-talk (PTT) communication has been proven to be efficient and reliable in business world for decades. With the rapid evolution of mobile broadband networks, nowadays the PTT users show an ever-increasing demand for data-rich multimedia services such as images and videos which are not supported by the legacy narrowband radio systems.
Leveraging the well-established broadband networks, Hytera Push-To-Talk over Cellular (PoC) solution delivers both PTT voice and large volume of data in nationwide coverage without additional wireless infrastructure investment.
What is DMR?
DMR stands for Digital Mobile Radio and is an international standard that has been defined for two-way radios. The DMR standard allows equipment developed by different manufacturers to operate together on the same network for all the functions defined within the standard.
The aim of the DMR standard was to create a digital radio system with low complexity and low cost that still allows for equipment from different manufacturers to work together, allowing users to shop around rather than being locked into a proprietary system which would be costly to replace and maintain.
Who uses PoC?
The kinds of industries which use PoC services include transportation and logistics, retail, security, energy and utilities, construction, councils and local government organisations, hospitality, manufacturing, and others. PoC provides long distance communications with a low start-up cost.
PoC is therefore particularly useful for businesses needing to communicate across widely dispersed sites or with mobile work forces, such as logistics firms, travelling long distances not just nationally but also internationally. It also provides a cost-effective solution for smaller organisations such as retail outlets or hospitality concerns for whom a PMR solution might be more than is required or too high an investment.
