Push-to-talk over LTE is a solution that allows people to instantly communicate with other users at the push of a button on their LTE-enabled smart device. Unlike regular telephone calls, push-to-talk over LTE allows 1-to-1 or 1-to-many calls so users can talk to a group of people at once, making it ideal for workgroups where everyone needs the same information at the same time. Push-to-talk over LTE solutions normally use an app installed on the user’s smartphone or tablet or a dedicated device to provide the service. Push-to-talk over LTE is sometimes also referred to as broadband push-to-talk (BBPTT) or push-to-talk over cellular (PTToC or PoC).

Motorola Solutions offers the WAVE PTX push-to-talk over LTE solution that provides voice, multi-media and live video streaming over 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi on the user’s smartphone, tablet, PC or a range of specifically developed BBPTT devices.

Push-to-talk (PTT) refers to communications systems where a call is instantly established at the push of a button, rather than by dialing a number to connect to a user as in traditional telephone systems.

PTT stands for “Push-To-Talk” and PTT radio refers to communications devices that allow you to instantly make a call at the push of a button, rather than by dialing a number to connect to a user as in traditional telephone systems. Two-way radio networks providing PTT have been available for many years utilising DMR, TETRA and APCO P25 technology and are relied on by public safety agencies and private enterprises around the world to enable instant, dependable group communications. A more recent PTT solution is broadband PTT, sometimes referred to as PTT over cellular.

Motorola Solutions offers a wide range of two-way radio systems and the WAVE PTX broadband push-to-talk solution that provides voice, multi-media and live video streaming over 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi on the user’s smartphone, tablet, PC or a range of specifically developed BBPTT devices.

Push-to-Talk radio technology offers a number of key benefits, the most important being instant communications, ease of use and rapid deployment.

Instant Communications - Push-to-talk technology from Motorola Solutions enables teams to communicate instantly, across devices, no matter their location. Say goodbye to dropped calls, and dead zones with the power of instant PTT communications.

Ease of Use - PTT is easy to use, no matter the device of choice. A simple push-to-talk switch or button is used to switch users from voice mode to transmit mode. Just like the name, users simply need to push the button, and start talking, it’s that easy.

Rapid Deployment - Setting up push-to-talk technology can be done in less than 24 hours with the TLK 100 Push-to-Talk radio from Motorola Solutions. Contact a Motorola Solutions reseller, select your subscription plan, get your radio, and start talking. No set-up time or configuration required.

Push-to-talk technology supports the operation of countless businesses through instantaneous communication. Personnel from businesses in industries such as manufacturing, retail, hospitality, transportation and logistics, and many more rely on push-to-talk technology.

MCPTT stands for Mission-Critical Push-To-Talk (over LTE) and refers to Push-To-Talk (PTT) solutions that meet the needs of public safety or other mission-critical communications users, including functionality, reliability and quality. 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project - a group of organizations that define requirements and specifications for mobile telecommunications) first added MCPTT in 3GPP Rel-13 in 2016 and have added further definitions in subsequent releases of the standard.
