Communicate instantly at the touch of a button and within one second. Directly in contact with a group of people. That is Push-to-Talk. A characteristic associated with walkie-talkies and two-way radios that operate on a radio frequency. Nowadays Push-to-Talk can also be used over the 3G / 4G network: 4G walkie-talkie (Push to talk Over Cellular called 'POC'). 4G Radio is a cloud service from Firecom linked to the network of your mobile provider. Your voice message is rapidly converted into data and sent within the Netherlands via the mobile 3G or 4G network of your mobile provider. Exchanging real-time information not only contributes to, for example, business productivity and efficiency, it also increases the safety of employees.

Firecom offers 4G Radio from the TeloSystems brand

4G Radio from the TeloSystems brand is a mid-end solution for the customer who wants an affordable non-mission-critical and non-business-critical solution with specially designed handsets. This is a flexible affordable solution based on LTE. 4G Radio is increasingly used in the form of an Android / iOS app on a smartphone. A walkie-talkie is not a smartphone and therefore not a good alternative. The volume of the loudspeaker, industrial housing with matching accessory connector and a large speaking key key are minimum requirements for a walkie-talkie.

TeloPTT for flexible use

TeloSystems offers a complete solution of both hardware and software. Especially for walkie-talkie users who have insufficient range with a traditional walkie-talkie, the TeloPTT solution is extremely suitable. Users who work for a customer for a short period of time are often not allowed to use the existing communication system. Due to installation costs and necessary permits, it is not profitable to set up your own temporary infrastructure. 4G Radio is an ideal solution that can be used again and again regardless of location or required range.

Technique

The handsets are tuned to the 4G Radio platform. The Android operating system has been adapted in such a way that, among other things, microphone sound and ease of use correspond to walkie-talkies from the higher segment. The advantages of 4G are optimally utilized, making live video transmission possible. In addition, the audio quality and call setup time is unmatched compared to PMR walkie-talkies, (DMR / TETRA). In addition, creating dynamic groups is standard as well as remote programming. The dispatch application offers all necessary functions for voice, voice logging, GPS display, attendance registration and GeoFencing as standard. Supplemented with live video playback of 32 users simultaneously, sending / receiving files makes this one of the most extensive dispatch applications for 4G Radio.
