• Government

How Push-to-Talk Works:

Push-to-Talk solutions are available for use inside the four walls on a wireless network, or outside the four walls on a cellular network.

There are two basic ways the push-to-talk technology can work on your devices: "Full-duplex" or "Half-duplex" mode.

• Full-duplex mode allows both users to talk at the same time.
• Half-duplex mode works like a walkie-talkie where one person can talk and the other listens.  It works very much like the popular Push-To-Talk phones.

An upgraded version of this application can also be purchased to setup and work with channels.  This allows "one to many" voice conversations within that channel similar to a conference call where everyone can talk to one another.
