Frequently Asked Questions

Nationwide push-to-talk (PTT) is a communication service that allows users to instantly connect with one or more individuals or groups over a wide area, typically using a cellular network or other wireless technology. Unlike traditional phone calls, which require dialing a number and waiting for the recipient to answer, push-to-talk enables immediate communication with the press of a button, like a walkie-talkie or two-way radio.

The range of a nationwide push-to-talk (PTT) radio can vary depending on several factors, including the specific technology used, terrain, obstructions, and environmental conditions. Generally, nationwide push-to-talk radios utilize cellular networks for communication, which can provide coverage over large geographic areas, including across states or even nationwide.

Since these radios rely on cellular networks, their range is primarily determined by the coverage of the network infrastructure provided by the service provider. In urban or densely populated areas with good cellular coverage, the range can extend over a large area. However, in rural or remote areas with limited coverage, the range may be more restricted.

It's essential to note that while nationwide push-to-talk radios can offer extensive coverage, they may not provide communication in extremely remote or isolated areas where cellular coverage is lacking. In such cases, additional communication solutions may be required, such as satellite communication devices or other alternatives.

Yes, some of our devices can also be used as cell phones.

No, we take care of everything for you. The only time you would need to supply a SIM card is if you are using one of the cell phone devices. They require a SIM Card from your cell phone provider.

Yes, we have a dispatch option that allows for GPS tracking.

According to DOT regulations, walkie-talkies and two-way radios are allowed. These devices are operated by the push of a single button.

We can create as many as you require.

You can place a group call or private call.

1. Group Call:

• In a group call, multiple users can participate in the conversation simultaneously.
• Users are typically organized into predefined groups or channels based on their roles, departments, or specific purposes.
• When one user initiates a group call, all members of the designated group receive the communication, allowing for efficient and instant communication among team members.
• Group calls are beneficial for disseminating information to a team, coordinating group activities, and facilitating collaboration among multiple users simultaneously.

2. Private Call:

• In a private call, communication occurs between two individual users.
• Private calls are initiated between specific users, allowing for one-on-one communication without other users in the group being involved.
• Private calls offer confidentiality and privacy, making them suitable for sensitive discussions, personal conversations, or when discussing matters that do not involve the entire group.
• Users can initiate private calls either by selecting a specific contact or by directly entering the recipient's unique identifier, such as their username or device ID.

Nationwide push-to-talk (PTT) systems often incorporate dispatching capabilities to facilitate efficient communication and coordination, especially in industries such as public safety, transportation, logistics, and utilities. Dispatching in nationwide PTT systems typically involves the following components and functionalities: group calls, group management, private calls, location management, and more.
