Over time, wireless communication has developed tremendously with the development of countless types of wireless devices, networks, and technologies. Today, we’re at the stage where with just one tap, you can connect to anyone across the world. However, even today, technological advancements are being made at a rapid speed.
One such technology that is revolutionising the way wireless communication works is push to talk over cellular (PoC). PoC takes the existing advantage of push-to-talk communication and combines it with the wide coverage of cellular networks.
Find the latest insights on the Global Push to Talk Over Cellular (PTTOC) Market with valuable insights such as market size, share, latest trends, key players and more by accessing a comprehensive report. Take a look at this extensive report on Global Push to Talk Over Cellular Market.
To better understand how PoC technology works, let’s break it down into the separate categories of push-to-talk communication, and cellular network communication.
Push-to-talk communication, in simple words, is a voice communication technology wherein you can press a button to switch from voice reception (listening) to voice transmission (speaking) modes. This technology allows to have efficient, one-at-a-time communication, eliminating background noise and overlapped chatter. This technology was commonly found in old telephones, walkie-talkies and so forth. However, due to the large amount of infrastructure and limited geographical coverage, these technologies had many drawbacks such as poor connectivity, audio quality and communication range.
Cellular Network communication is a mobile communication technology that allows devices to conduct wireless communication across wide geographical areas seamlessly. This network coverage is made possible by cellular towers that help transmit signals across devices. Cellular networks enable seamless communication across a variety of mobile devices such as smartphones and laptops and can essentially be used to communicate across the globe.
Push-to-talk and cellular network technologies come together to form push-to-talk over cellular. This technology can be used for one-to-one and one-to-many communications and is used across sectors like public safety, transport, logistics, businesses and so forth.
PoC technology and devices offer various advantages such as GPS tracking, easy data plans, various communication features, compatibility with many devices,
The wide coverage and push-to-talk nature make PoC ideal for the above-mentioned sectors, especially due to the need for urgent real-time and clear communication. Moreover, with the growth in production, development and usage of cellular networks and mobile devices, PoC technology is becoming prominent. Mobility and remote work environments are also factors that contribute to a wider demand and need for PoC communication, making it essential.
Today, with the establishment of 5G cellular networks and almost every person owning a mobile device, PoC technology is on an incline and will revolutionize the way.
