Q uick explanation about what PoC radio phones, Push -to-talk Over Cellular, are. To put it simply, these are mobile radios commu- nicating with each other by using the already existing 2G/3G/4G or LTE cellular networks. PoC solves the most important problem connected with classic two-way radios – limited range. Range of regular radios is limited by many factors, such as power of the device, landform and distance between users. In the case of PoC, the radios can communicate with other users almost everywhere if there are either cellu- lar networks capable of data transfer or properly con- figured WiFi networks. Practically, it means that users can use the same radio network while being separated by hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. PoC de- vices will be perfect for any mass events, movie sets or open air ranges – everywhere where handheld radios are used as a primary communication device. Users of PoC devices can make either one-to-one or one-to-many calls. It helps users to save time to communicate with others in comparison to a phone call while increasing the effectiveness of messages. With the availability of a dispatcher system, a company/entity can keep track of its users' location with GPS services and give better instruction to each individual. Main advantages are the simplicity of use and low exploitation costs because even the biggest mobile data plans aren't expensive. S T O R Y A N D P H O T O S : : F R A G O U T !
