Instant Radio Simplicity with Unlimited Geographic Range
Traditional two-way radios are the gold standard for immediate local site coordination, but their reach is physically bounded by topography and antenna height. Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) bridges that gap by running instant, push-to-talk communications over major 4G/LTE cellular networks and local Wi-Fi.
With Dialcom PoC systems, your Barrie dispatch team can communicate instantaneously with a single driver in Muskoka, an entire snow removal crew across Simcoe County, or maintenance crews operating in high-rise facilities—all with the push of a single button and sub-second latency.
- Unlimited province-wide, nationwide, and USA coverage
- Instant 1-to-many group calls and private 1-to-1 calling
- Dual LTE and Wi-Fi network roaming capability
- Heavy-duty audio output engineered for noisy environments
Traditional Two-Way Radio vs. Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC)
Understand the operational differences to choose the optimal communication tool for your fleet:
| System Attribute | Traditional Two-Way Radio (RF) | Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage Area | Local site or tower-line-of-sight (Simcoe County) | Unlimited anywhere with LTE cellular or Wi-Fi |
| Infrastructure Needed | Repeaters, antenna towers, RF licensing | Zero private towers or license (utilizes cellular carrier data) |
| Fleet Location Tracking | Requires specialized GPS hardware add-ons | Built-in live GPS mapping & route playback |
| Talkgroup Flexibility | Fixed RF channel assignments | Dynamic software talkgroups configured instantly |
| Device Durability | Rugged commercial hardware | Rugged Mil-Spec / IP67 handhelds & mobile units |
