What is PoC and How Does it Work?

PoC or Radio over IP (RoIP) devices are handheld two-way radios that access cloud-based PoC services via the Internet. They permit both voice and video calling. When a user presses the push-to-talk button, the voice and/or video is converted into digital data. The compressed information is sent to the server and broadcast to all devices within the designated group or to a specific recipient.

By purchasing a data plan, you’ll receive a SIM card—similar to SIM cards used in cell phones—to install in the PoC device for enabled Internet access.

A data plan SIM card (similar to those used in cell phones) is installed in the PoC device to enable access. Once connected, users can utilize the 4G/5G/LTE cellular infrastructure of Mobile Network Operators. 

Communication has never been more convenient than with HORIZON by Hytera. The subscription-based PoC service permits access to the HORIZON Nationwide PoC cloud controller through the internet using 4G/5G/LTE cellular networks and Wi-Fi networks for wide-area radio communications. Third party gateway routers provide connectivity between the 4G/5G/LTE network and the cloud hosted PoC controller.

The result is access to reliable cloud-based services using existing cellular and Wi-Fi networks that require no maintenance or operational expenses. HORIZON Dispatch web browser applications also connect to the PoC cloud server through the internet.
