POCSTARS Launches MiniServer 2.0 for Small-Site Push-to-Talk Deployments

POCSTARS has officially launched MiniServer 2.0, an enhanced version of its compact on-premise Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) server designed to bring greater flexibility and faster deployment to small and medium-sized communications projects.

The new release targets environments such as hotels, campuses, property security operations and facility management sites — organizations that require dedicated local communications infrastructure without relying on consumer-grade applications or large-scale nationwide PoC networks.

MiniServer 2.0 is engineered to support between 50 and 200 users, giving smaller organizations access to their own independent PoC platform with full operational control, data ownership and service reliability.

Among the most significant enhancements in MiniServer 2.0 is support for Cat.1 PoC devices alongside existing Android-based terminals. This expanded device compatibility gives system integrators and channel partners greater flexibility in tailoring device selection to specific roles and cost requirements across a deployment.

In addition, network deployment has also been simplified considerably. MiniServer 2.0 supports rollout over public cellular networks with dynamic IP capability and built-in connectivity checks, removing the need for fixed IP arrangements in many scenarios and reducing the complexity of installation and commissioning.

A new browser-based dispatcher further streamlines operations by enabling supervisors and control room operators to access dispatching and command-and-control functions directly through a standard web browser, eliminating the need for dedicated dispatch software installations.

POCSTARS positions MiniServer 2.0 as a practical and cost-efficient communications backbone for localized business-critical operations, combining compact on-premise architecture with the flexibility and simplified deployment that smaller-scale projects demand.
