Press to Talk
PoC stands for Press-to-Talk over Cellular. It is not technically a two-way radio technology but behaves very much like one. Press-to-Talk is the technique of using the cellular phone network to make calls that behave like standard two-way radios, with instant-access and group calls but with the advantage world coverage using the right network/ sims card.
Why choose Press to Talk- If you have access to 3G/ 4G or Wi-Fi then you can talk to POC devices around the world by simply pressing a button, no dialling required

- More often than not the hardware acts as a smart device and a phone, so you truly have a multimode device
