Zetron broadband PTT integration

The Zetron broadband PTT integration now offers an interface option that integrates telco-provided enhanced push-to-talk service with Zetron’s console systems.

This enables dispatchers to communicate with broadband PTT users just as they would with users of land mobile radio (LMR) systems. Currently, the interface option enables the integration of its AcomNOVUS and MAX Dispatch systems with US-based AT&T enhanced push-to-talk (AT&T EPTT).

The network-based solution is built on P25 open standards and integrates with the console subsystem interface (CSSI) primarily used by the LMR industry in the public safety market. With this integration, dispatchers are able to communicate with AT&T EPTT users just as they would an LMR system. The direct communications afforded by CSSI enable dispatcher-controlled patching between broadband PTT users and any type of analog or digital LMR network connected to the radio console system.

The direct communications also make dispatch and resource coordination easier as dispatchers can use both group and one-to-one calls to communicate directly with broadband PTT users. In addition, interoperability makes the dispatch systems the hub for all push-to-talk communications, from LMR to LTE.
