Push to Talk Market Overview

Push to talk (PTT) allows users to communicate instantaneously with wireless cellular phone handsets by switching from voice transmission to voice reception. This form of phone use is similar to walkie-talkie usage. Push to talk enables one person to speak at a time while transitioning a phone from full duplex mode, in which both parties can hear each other simultaneously, to half duplex mode. There may be more than one person in the conversation. Users use push to talk applications on their cell phones to serve as walkie-talkies. These apps do not require any additional rights or licensing, and consumers can install them on their smartphones just like any other program. Users can also use this to converse with iOS or Android phones. A variety of new trends are driving the evolution of technology. Growing security concerns, interoperability, and seamless integration with other communication technologies are driving the market.
