Ultra-Compact Push-to-Talk Over Cellular Radio

The PNC360S is an ultra-compact, rugged, and easy-to-operate push-to-talk radio that enables connectivity over 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi for wide-area radio communications. It is cost-effective, and surprisingly feature-rich for the price. The compact size enables one-hand operation, and the PNC360 can be carried in a pocket, worn on the standard belt clip, or worn on a lanyard. The PNC360S PoC radio is supported on Hytera Dispatch and can be deployed very quickly to deliver these features at a lower cost than traditional radio systems. The PNC360S enables Push-to-Talk over Cellular communications using existing 4G/5G/LTE Mobile Network Operator infrastructure and Wi-Fi networks. Expanding on this, the PNC360S stands out in the market as an ideal solution for teams and organizations that require reliable and extended coverage, together with simplicity and low deployment expense. Designed with both durability and user convenience in mind, the unit features a robust casing that can withstand rough handling and the challenging conditions of various work environments such as construction sites, warehouses, security operations, and event management. Its intuitive push-to-talk (PTT) button makes voice communication instant, ensuring that users can connect with teammates or dispatchers with a single press, even in urgent situations. Beyond its ultra-compact form factor, the PNC360S offers remarkable versatility in how it can be carried and used. Whether clipped onto a belt for field workers, slipped into a pocket for quick access, or suspended from a lanyard for those constantly on the move, its lightweight design ensures that it never becomes a burden—making it perfect for jobs that demand both mobility and connectivity. One of the most significant advantages of the PNC360S is its ability to leverage modern mobile network infrastructure. Unlike traditional two-way radios that are limited by the range of their repeaters or base stations, the PNC360S uses 4G/5G/LTE cellular networks and Wi-Fi, making it possible to communicate seamlessly over vast distances. Whether in different cities or even across countries, users remain connected as long as there’s cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. This eliminates the need for expensive and complex radio network installations, reducing the total cost of ownership and making advanced communication technology accessible to smaller organizations or those with limited budgets. The device integrates seamlessly with Hytera Dispatch, a sophisticated software platform that allows centralized control and efficient management of communications. Hytera Dispatch gives dispatchers the tools to coordinate teams, track device locations, and manage calls in real-time, significantly improving workflow and safety. Quick deployment is another key feature, as the PNC360S can be rolled out rapidly in the field without the time-consuming setup associated with legacy radio systems. There’s no need for specialized towers or repeaters—simply connect the radios to an existing LTE network or Wi-Fi, and communication can begin almost instantly. Overall, the PNC360S opens up modern, reliable, and cost-effective communication for a broad range of industries, combining the familiarity and ease of a push-to-talk radio with the benefits of today’s expansive cellular networks and advanced software integration. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone needing robust, wide-area, and flexible radio communications at an affordable cost.
