genaker5050 - PoC-PMR Interconnect Gateway


PoC-PMR Interconnect Gateway
  • Concept more information

    genaker5050 provides a gateway between a Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) network based on the OMA PoC standard, and external Push-to-Talk (P2T) networks based on other technologies.

    While the OMA PoC service delivers a Walkie-Talkie experience to cellular users, other systems and technologies have been in use in the past to support half-duplex VoIP among corporate, professional and institutional users. Those technologies include analog radio (PMR, mainly used by corporates) and digital trunking (TETRA, mostly used by security and emergency officials).

    genaker5050 bridges the gap between diverse Walkie-Talkie technologies, and thus enables the connection between PoC and PMR networks. By deploying genaker5050, Operators and Governments raise the value of their investment in PoC, PMR and / or TETRA infrastructure. genaker5050 enables the interconnection of TETRA and PoC users and groups, and facilitates the smooth evolution of legacy systems into the future-proof converged All-IP network.

    genaker5050 provides a seamless connection between all users, allowing business customers to use the right technology depending on the user and at same time keeping the same functionality available for both OMR, TETRA users and PoC users.

    In addition to interconnection of PoC and P2T networks, genaker5050 also offers the possibility to connect PoC and VoIP networks. Hence, companies and individuals have now the possibility to connect their IP-PBX extensions to the PoC service.
