Conventional two-way radios

For commercial, family and amateur two-way radios, PTT is a button that is pressed when needing to transmit with the radio on the tuned frequency or channel. While the PTT button remains unpressed (or unkeyed), any radio traffic that is received on the selected channel or frequency is heard through the radio's speaker. Unless the radio supports full-duplex operation, received audio is usually muted while the PTT button is pressed. Simultaneous full-duplex transmission and reception on a radio is generally not supported unless either the transmit and receive frequencies have significant separation between the two frequencies, or two different antennas are used with enough distance between them, or a cavity filter is used, due to an effect known as desensing which cancels out received transmissions. The Family Radio Service is an improved walkie talkie system authorized in the United States. ... Amateur radio station with modern solid-state transceiver featuring LCD display and DSP capabilities Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is a hobby that uses various types of radio broadcasting equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...


More recently, the PTT concept has been adopted by cellphone carriers as a way to instantaneously send transmissions to other users on the system, emulating walkie-talkie communications on a mobile phone network. A walkie-talkie is a portable, bi-directional radio transceiver, first developed for military use. ...


Current use in mobile telephony (PTT PoC)

PTT PoC or Push to Talk over Cellular is a feature similar to walkie-talkie that is provided over a cellular phone network. A Push to talk connection is typically connected virtually instantaneously. One significant advantage of PoC is allowing a single person to reach an active talk group at a button press, thus users no longer need to make several calls to coordinate with a group. A walkie-talkie is a portable, bi-directional radio transceiver, first developed for military use. ... Cellular redirects here. ...


Push-to-talk calls are half duplex communications — while one person speaks, the other(s) listen(s). Traditional mobile phone networks and devices utilize full-duplex communications, allowing customers to call other persons on a mobile or land-line network and be able to simultaneously talk and hear the other party. Such communications require a connection to be started by dialing a phone number and the other party answering the call, and the connection remains active until either party ends the call or the connection is dropped due to signal loss or a network outage. Such a system does not allow for casual transmissions to be sent to other parties on the network without first dialing them up, like is allowed on two-way radios. Full-duplex operation on mobile phone networks is made possible by using separate frequencies for transmission and reception.


Mobile Push-to-Talk service, offered by some mobile carriers, adds functionality for individual half-duplex transmissions to be sent to another party on the system without needing an existing connection to be already established. Since the system is half-duplex (utilizing a single frequency), only one user can transmit by PTT at a time; the other party is unable to transmit until the transmitting user unkeys their PTT button. Currently, PTT service is supported only between parties on the same mobile carrier service, and users with different carriers will be unable to transmit to each other by PTT. However, the advancement of this service will likely bring interconnectivity of PTT traffic between different networks in the near future.


In addition to mobile handsets, the Push-to-Talk service might be complemented with fixed PC applications acting as PTT clients connected to the mobile operator via secured Internet links. Some PC clients are designed for heavy load dispatching, that is, coordinating many issues typically caused when managing large fleets from a dispatch center. A personal computer (PC) is a computer whose price, size, and capabilities make it useful for individuals. ... In computing, a client is a system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network. ... Fleet vehicles are groups of automobiles with a single owner, typically a company or corporation, rather than an individual or family. ...

General Information Generically (as a multiplexing scheme), code division multiple access (CDMA) is any use of any form of spread spectrum by multiple transmitters to send to the same receiver on the same frequency channel at the same time without harmful interference. ...


Nextel Communications introduced mobile push-to-talk in 1996 using iDEN. The "MOTO Talk" feature by Nextel (called Beep-beep or chirp by teenagers) includes both on- and off-iDEN network walkie-talkie service for newer Motorola phone models.
