Testing Push-to-talk Over Cellular (PoC)

Show Description

Wireless service providers are counting on push-to-talk over cellular (PoC)—today’s sophisticated version of the walkie-talkie—to have a wide appeal to consumers and business customers. However, PoC has thus far faced the stumbling block of interoperability. Because current PoC services are proprietary, subscribers can’t connect to “buddies” on other mobile networks, and the selection of suitable mobile devices has been limited. What’s more, it’s been left up to the individual service provider to ensure the compatibility of these mobile devices and the network elements that support them.
