All the benefits of a radio made available on mobile
The capabilities of modern digital radios are extensive and not to be downplayed in any respect, but as with any technology solution, there are user and device requirements that may also be addressed using applications (Apps)
Enabling interoperability between radios, mobile phones, computers and other devices is unlocked simply by integrating Push to Talk over Cellular (often referenced as PoC or PTT) capabilities.
