Businesses in London that require reliable push-to-talk communications often face significant challenges when obtaining the necessary UHF/VHF radio licenses.

Due to stringent Ofcom regulations, limited spectrum availability, and high licensing fees, the process can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. Applying for new frequencies can take a very long time, delaying the implementation of critical communication systems.

While these licensing challenges are not unique to London, they are particularly acute due to the city’s dense urban environment and high demand for wireless communications. However, businesses in London have an effective alternative: push-to-talk over cellular (POC) radios.

POC radios offer a compelling solution for London businesses looking to streamline their push-to-talk communications. While each POC radio requires a license and SIM card from the provider, businesses do not need to apply for dedicated radio frequencies. This eliminates the lengthy and complex frequency allocation process, allowing for faster deployment of push-to-talk solutions.

By leveraging existing cellular networks, POC radios provide wide-area push-to-talk functionality without the range constraints of traditional UHF/VHF systems. This enables seamless communication across the entire London region wherever cellular coverage exists, allowing teams to stay connected even when operating over large distances. In the rare event that cellular coverage is unavailable, extension points or routers can be installed to ensure POC devices maintain connectivity.

POC radios also offer superior scalability compared to traditional radio systems. Adding new users is simple and instant, without acquiring additional frequency licenses. This flexibility enables London businesses to adapt quickly to changing needs. Additionally, POC radios have lower upfront costs and more predictable ongoing expenses thanks to the pay-as-you-go model of cellular service.
