Nationwide PoC Radio

Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) is a communication system that uses 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi networks to provide instant voice communication between users. Unlike traditional two way radios, PoC radios are not limited by radio coverage and can communicate across towns, cities, regions or even internationally, making them ideal for businesses with multiple sites or mobile workforces.

PoC radios use mobile data and Wi-Fi networks to transmit voice communications. When a user presses the push-to-talk button, their message is instantly sent to individuals, groups or entire teams. This provides the simplicity of a traditional two way radio with the extended coverage of modern cellular networks.
