Market Driver

Vendors in the Push To Talk (PTT) market are implementing strategic business moves to expand their offerings and solidify their positions. In March 2020, Ericsson acquired Genaker, a MC-PTT solutions provider, enhancing Ericsson’s MC-PTT capabilities to cater to the evolving mission-critical communications and private network market. SLA Corp. (ESChat) also partnered with EGC International Inc. In October 2020, launching TalkPlus, a PTT service in Colombia. TalkPlus, powered by ESChat, offers encrypted PTT voice, multimedia group messaging, and live location tracking. Both companies have finalized a commercial agreement and are preparing for the service launch. Innovative business collaborations and marketing strategies can unlock new opportunities and fortify market presence in the global PTT market, projected to expand during the forecast period. 

The Push To Talk (PTT) market is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the rugged and ultra-rugged smartphone segment. This trend is driven by the increasing demand for reliable communication solutions in industries like transportation and logistics, public safety, and defense sectors. PTT functionality is being integrated into mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, providing an alternative to traditional two-way radios. Network connection plays a crucial role in PTT, with infrastructure platforms like IP networks and LTE networks becoming increasingly popular. Cellular PTT solutions, such as PoC (Push-to-Connect), are gaining traction due to their ability to leverage 5G infrastructure and the Internet of Things. Hardware and solution segments are key areas of investment, with LTE networks and hybrid communication solutions, like walkie talkie apps, leading the way. Intellectual property protection is also a major concern, with assurance of wireless communication becoming a priority for large enterprises. PTT applications are expanding beyond traditional sectors like public safety and law enforcement to include construction, transportation, and land mobile radio. The future of PTT lies in the integration of AI and 5G technology, enabling more efficient and effective communication.

Market Challenges

The PTT market faces challenges in terms of interoperability and cybersecurity. Interoperability issues prevent unified communications among different agencies using various PTT devices and applications. The lack of compatibility between PTT devices and LMR equipment requires additional interoperability equipment, adding expense and complexity. For instance, AT and T’s PTT/MCPTT voice offering only works on their network and devices, limiting cross-carrier interoperability. In jurisdictions without FirstNet/AT and T subscriptions, third-party OTT applications are the only solution, but they do not fully address interoperability concerns. Cybersecurity is another challenge, as data breaches in PTT app services can hinder adoption. For example, the Zello data breach in 2020 exposed email addresses and hashed passwords, potentially compromising user accounts. Such incidents can deter potential users from adopting PTT apps, negatively impacting market growth during the forecast period.The Push To Talk (PTT) market is experiencing significant growth in various industries, including transportation and logistics, public safety, construction, and defense sectors. However, challenges persist in implementing PTT functionality on rugged and ultra-rugged smartphones and mobile devices due to their specific requirements. Network connection reliability is crucial, whether through two-way radios, infrastructure platforms, IP networks, LTE networks, or 5G technology. Intellectual property rights and spectrum capacity are also important considerations. PTT solutions can include hardware and software segments, such as land mobile radio, LTE network-based, or cellular or PoC systems. The transportation and logistics, public safety, and defense industries heavily rely on PTT applications for assured wireless communication. Hybrid communication, combining PTT with broadband, is a promising trend. Large enterprises also benefit from PTT solutions for efficient communication and collaboration.
