If they made a 'homebase' version of this that could connect to the Global-PTT network via ethernet, it'd be a nice addition. For me though, as a mobile operator it'd not really much use if I already have my phone and other device. I think their main target is commercial use, and to be fair it looks like a much easier way to hand out radio gear to staff than setting up DMR and reprogramming them.

this is why a lot of people prefer zello. even when all official zello servers goes down, there are publicly available unofficial servers usually ran by universities. But it's only really because you can buy your own on-prem server and you can do whatever you want with it

High chance there's already being a open source server made

A device, OS and network agnostic platform like zello, that you can also use on a watch or POC device is a bit more appealing. No mention of encryption or security.

Having worked a few big events, (horse racing mainly) I would not trust having my staff coms over cellular. The networks are usually heavily loaded and sometimes overloaded particularly at key moments. Maybe it doesn't happen these days with better infrastructure but 10 years ago we constantly had issues with our mobile phones.

That's a great point actually mate: the digital cellular framework is overworked, and doesn't have 100 percent reliability or resilience. Then again, nothing is 100 percent, but normal VHF comms performance is always going to be a direct reflection of the operator's experience, competencies, kit and, of course, the good old weather...

Thats people placing bets by mobile phone on betting exchanges. Not a lot of data but a huge number of phones connecting at one mast. I notice our local racecourse had a giant mobile phone added near it recently.

These devices seem to make logical use of technology to solve one particular problem well. The thing that worries me, since the devices won’t work on Wi-Fi, how does one conclusively prove that the Chinese aren’t snooping users’ traffic?

The only way they could be snooping your traffic, would be the same way anyone else does. Whether it's the Chinese or the NSA - all of your data is being collected. It's just the way it is these days unfortunately. ALL of our data is being scrubbed. Going cellular like this? Digital scrub through the networks. Analog radio? Anyone can hear you voice, and scrub your data if you're sending packets. It's all the same.

Nice as always dude, have you seen the motorcycle 'intercoms' mate I'm curious as to what they use as it states a 1.2k range. 👍

How does this service compare to what was offered by Nextel, when it was still a going concern quite a few years back? I recall they made their brand identity their "direct connect" feature, which also was a push-to-talk function on their cell phones. I don't know if Nextel serviced Europe.

So your giving all this data to a Chinese company over a cell network. Are they storing any of the voice data? Do you have to type in serial numbers and then register each device to a user? Might be fun to play around with but not for SHTF stuff im assuming?

@GlasgowGallus

Жыл бұрын

Good point... I think in SHTF situations, we'd probably lose the digital cellular networks anyway, so I'd be sticking to my good old, fully leaded VHF-type kit. Repeaters should still be areet too... Failing that, we could fall back on the old tin can and bitta string... 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What are the monthly costs of this device?

Reminds me of the Nextel phones in what they did

All nice but where I live, these would end up in garbage. A lot of nearby villages don't have any GSM signal, or just barely 2G. People use dect phones to be reachable outside, or walkie talkies. 20 min from my town, not even one of national mobile providers have reach. Landlines + dect + pmr are needed.

what is the web address for Global PTT managment and how do I get a login to it?

Real-PTT vs Zello Only ever used Zello myself

You could put Zello on your phone for a free version of this.

Does it work in Europe?

Wait, didn't Nokia phones from back in the early 2000s have a similar feature built in?

So if there is no reception these don't work.

While the vid says " low latency " I wonder if it is low enough to use the radios in a critical setting like a crane + spotter operation .

Being safety critical you should only use two-way radios designed for professional use and on frequencies allocated for crane operations. The site safety officer would refuse to issue a permit for work, and your insurance would be void. The latency will be less than the crane operators response time, unless the network is overloaded, which is outside your control.
