UScellular's Intuitive PTT Solution Keeps its Business and Government Customers Connected.

To develop a push-to-talk (PTT) bundle for use cases in public safety, hospitality, transportation, education, utilities, and logistics, UScellular has partnered with two pioneers in the wireless sector. Siyata provides push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) radio, while ESChat provides the PTT software solution. The integrated bundle, which starts at $28 per month, offers a better user experience and value when combined with UScellular's 1GB data package.

This package easily combines a PTT app with a user-friendly phone designed specifically for PTT. Land mobile radio (LMR) users can add broadband PTT service to their current radio systems or switch to standalone broadband PTT service, which enables them to maintain connectivity even when they are not in the LMR coverage area.

Kim Kerr, senior vice president, enterprise sales and operations for UScellular, stated, "

Siyata's SD7 rugged push-to-talk over cellular radio handset is an industry leading device that offers UScellular business customers an alternative to land-mobile radios." "We are able to provide a complete PTT ecosystem for both RF radio system operators and customers without their own RF radio system by launching this solution with ESChat and Siyata.

ESChat's PTT is compatible with both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, and it functions anywhere there is a data connection. Regardless of their network or device, organizations can discover and communicate with team members in real time and securely. Leading the broadband PTT sector, ESChat provides mission-critical service availability, live and historical location tracking, and simple contact and group selection to government and enterprise business clients.

The Siyata SD7 is a robust PTT device running Android that connects to a high-bandwidth 4G LTE network and has great sound quality. Its IP68 rating, dust and water resistance, drop protection, and sturdy battery make it ideal for usage in challenging conditions. Most importantly, there's no need to spend money on repeaters or radio towers.
