Introduction -Mobile Radios

PTT Over Cellular (POC) is a name commonly used for radios that works on Cellular Network and additionally on Wi-Fi Network (not all, but most radios do have Wi-Fi option.) Although the POC Radios use Cellular Network but still they are completely different from Mobile Phones. First, there is no need to dial a number, just select a channel or a user and press PTT to speak. It will be immediately connected to remote device. Second, all POC calls are regulated through a server, that is, all POC calls go to a Server and will connect to remote after authentication through the server. This ensures security and allow host of other features to be provided on the network.

As name suggests, Base Station Radios are a type of Two-Way Radio Subscriber that are used either at a fixed location (fixed radios) or are installed in a vehicle (mobile radios.) It is a common type among two-way radio. Fixed Radios are normally used by dispatchers or coordinators in control rooms whereas Mobile Radios are used by drivers to connect to control room, factory etc. Range of POC Base Stations is only dependent on the availability of network, either cellular or Wi-Fi. Users in different part of countries can easily talk to each other on POC radios provided both are within range of required network.
