Exponential progression of Handset to Talkgroup ratio (i.e., need more and more handsets to justify additional free Talkgroups). Talkgroup setups can also be used Over the Air & with Iridium's PTT Command Center.
Minimum: 5 active Handsets under the Subscriber Organization to get 1 Free Small 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)
