Broadband POC transceivers, IP radios - eChat by Anico POC radios & accessories
PoC radios (Push-to-talk over Cellular) or as usually called, broadband radios or IP radios are VoIP devices that serve grouped users. Similar to Skype or Viber, voice communication is built up using the internet, except that audio connection is not continuous (parties cannot talk at the same time). They work like traditional radio transceivers where the party speaking has to keep a push-to-talk button pressed. There can be only one user talking at a time, but everyone in that group can hear the transmission. Certainly, being state-of-the-art, modern devices, PoC IP transceivers also offer additional features over traditional analogue radio systems; we can even initiate private calls.
Unlike traditional transmitters, eChat PoC (Push-to-talk over Cellular) transceivers use the Internet network instead of direct radio communication to reach each other, thus ensuring unlimited range. To operate a PoC system, a PoC provider is needed, as the devices are interconnected, and call is handled by dedicated servers are responsible for this. For the eChat system, this service is provided in Hungary by Anico Kft. The technology and the handsets were developed by Caltta, ZTE's transceiver subsidiary, and run custom software for Anico Kft. Hence the common brand name: eChat by Anico.
