Push-to-Talk over Cellular allows teams to communicate instantly using mobile data networks instead of traditional radio frequencies. Users press a single button to speak to individuals or groups in real time, similar to a two-way radio, but with nationwide coverage and advanced features such as GPS tracking and encrypted communication.
-
PTT works across all major South African mobile networks using 3G, 4G, and 5G connectivity, as well as Wi-Fi where available. This allows teams to communicate nationwide without range limitations.
-
Both options are supported. The solution works on standard Android and iOS smartphones, or on dedicated rugged Push-to-Talk devices designed for demanding field environments.
-
All communications are protected using enterprise-grade encryption. User authentication, access controls, and secure communication channels ensure sensitive operational conversations remain private and compliant with business security requirements.
-
PTT operates on a predictable per-user subscription model, eliminating the need for expensive radio infrastructure, repeaters, and maintenance contracts. Pricing depends on user volume and deployment requirements.
