Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC)
Nationwide PoC Radio Service
HORIZON Nationwide PTT over Cellular Subscription Service
HORIZON is a subscription-based Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) service that delivers instantaneous individual and group calling via an advanced and reliable cloud-based communications network.
HORIZON is compatible with all rugged, feature-rich Hytera PoC devices and integrates seamlessly with the HORIZON Dispatch web-based application, facilitating centralized group calling and GPS location tracking.
How HORIZON Works
Hytera PoC devices connect to the HORIZON PoC cloud server via the internet, utilizing 4G/5G/LTE cellular networks and Wi-Fi for extensive coverage.
Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC), also known as Radio over IP (RoIP), functions similarly to Voice over IP (VoIP). RoIP devices are handheld two-way radios that leverage cloud-based PoC services through the internet for both voice and video calling. By installing a data plan SIM card (like those used in cell phones) into the PoC device, users can access the internet through the 4G/5G/LTE infrastructure provided by Mobile Network Operators.
This setup enables nationwide communication over existing, reliable networks without the need for maintenance or operational expenses.
