KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 27 (Bernama) -- Hytera Communications, a global communications technologies and solutions provider, provided Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) devices during the 2022 Ping An Finance Center International Vertical Marathon Master in Shenzhen, China.

In a statement, the company said two models were chosen for the on-site team communications during the event, namely, the PNC380 PoC Radios and PNC560 5G XSecure Rugged Devices, ruggedised for heavy duties.

“Both the hardware and software algorithms empower their premium audio; the noise cancellation algorithm ensures crystal-clear voice calls in the stair shaft, where ambient echoes are common,” it said.

The PoC devices kept all the onsite personnel, across more than 100 floors of the building, connected as teams of different functions and ensured a smooth and safe event.

Hytera director of global marketing and solutions, Gerald Zhang, said the company always proposes and offers the right solutions to its customers.

“The skyscraper indoor environment is usually a challenge for push-to-talk communications if the property owner hasn’t deployed a well-planned system with repeaters.

“For the Ping An vertical marathon, as long as the carriers’ indoor coverage is good, PoC is the right solution. Our PoC devices performed perfectly to keep teams informed and synchronised,” he added.

When planning for the vertical marathon along with the organiser, Hytera team did a technical evaluation of the event venue. The indoor coverage by local cellular operators was good and the Wi-Fi network offered reliable connectivity.
