Iridium PTT (Push-To-Talk) Satellite Radio Service

Iridium Push-to-Talk (PTT) is a global, fully mobile push-to-talk system that enables fast and simple group communications at the push of a button, anywhere on earth.

Benefits of using Iridium PTT

Iridium PTT takes the local functionality of walkie-talkie, formally known as a handheld transceiver, and takes it to a global level by allowing users in a talkgroup to communicate real time even with thousands of miles distance between them.

FAST & MOBILE

Fully integrated for reliable on-the-move handheld use. Call set-up and inter-call performance in-line with traditional solutions.

RELIABLE & SECURE

Iridium Push-to-Talk communications are kept private with AES 256 encryption. Automatic programming and registration with easy-to-use menu navigation.

GLOBAL COVERAGE

Works from pole-to-pole, where and when you need it. Use on-foot, in-vehicle or in-building with available accessories.

Talkgroups Provide The Ultimate In Flexibility

Exponential progression of Handset to Talkgroup ratio (i.e., need more and more handsets to justify additional free Talkgroups).

Minimum: 5 active Handsets under the Subscriber Organization to get 1 Free Talkgroup

Cannot receive Free Talkgroup if only have 1 or 2 Handsets (as that is seen as an attempt to bypass Standard Telephony costs)

5 Handsets = 1 Free Talkgroup (5:1 ratio)
10 Handsets = 1 Free Talkgroup (10:1 ratio)
50 Handsets = 2 Free Talkgroups (25:1 ratio)
500 Handsets = 5 Free Talkgroups (100:1 ratio)
