The integrated system will allow agencies and businesses to get “redundancy, resiliency and end-to-end encryption with secure messaging, emergency alerts, ambient listening, and role-based management.”
Next month, T-Mobile will debut its 5G Mission Critical Push-to-Talk service
T-Mobile adds that its 5G PTT system takes only one afternoon to create a few hundred user profiles instead of several days. T-Mobile‘s MCPTT will include location sharing and support video streaming. As a result, users will be able to share real-time videos from the field. T-Mobile will give users of this platform priority connections for push-to-talk and data nationwide on the T-Mobile network during times when networks are temporarily overloaded.
Roy Chua, principal at AvidThink, told FierceWireless, “PTT is still a major use case today. Anywhere that quick, reliable communication is needed. The industries are the same as when Nextel launched: construction, utilities, transportation hubs and logistics, warehouses, hospitality, emergency services, even universities with sprawling campuses. Even with private 5G, I’ve seen PTT as a key workload and application for private 5G/CRBS deployments.”
T-Mobile‘s MCPTT system works with land mobile radio systems (LMR) allowing push-to-talk to be operational to users outside areas where LMR coverage exists. It also will allow users without radios to use PTT for important mission critical communications.
