For businesses selecting a new PTT solution, here are some considerations to keep in mind:

  • Wireless networks’ speed and coverage impacts the performance of PTT over cellular. It’s important to take a look at how PTT works in the areas where you do business. Not all PTT networks are designed for 4G LTE. Find out whether you have access to fast 4G LTE networks, and ask your service provider for a trial to determine whether the PTT solution meets your needs. 
  • As you evaluate PTT services, take a close look at where each one is going in the coming years. You don’t want to invest in new technology only to have it become outdated in a matter of months. Make sure your service provider has a plan in place for updates and enhancements to the technology.
  • Also consider the mobile applications and solutions that can complement PTT. You’ll have an easier time integrating apps with PTT if your wireless carrier offers a broad portfolio of field force automation solutions, mobile application development and device management tools and consulting services to help in the process.
