EXPLORER PTT

Cobham SATCOM’s unique Push-To-Talk system is based on EXPLORER BGAN terminals and delivers extended coverage, improved call quality and lower costs for mobile workforce communications.

Hybrid solution

EXPLORER PTT extends legacy Push-To-Talk capabilities to hybrid data networks such as terrestrial 3G/4G/LTE cellular networks (where available), supplemented by the Inmarsat BGAN satellite network where no terrestrial network coverage is present.  This, combined with Land Mobile Radio (LMR) integration, provides seamless voice communication in any situation.  With no user intervention required, the system automatically routes voice and data traffic via the least expensive and most reliable network available.

Robust communication

EXPLORER PTT offers exceptional physical and transmission robustness. Wrapped into an all-in-one solution, it provides reliable voice and internet connectivity to vehicles operating anywhere on the planet and is a revolutionary Mobile Workforce communications solution.

EXPLORER PTT turns traditional LMR, satellite, cellular, and the internet, into a closed managed Wide Area Network, with beyond line-of-sight communication.

Diverse applications

Because EXPLORER PTT is based on utilizing already existing network infrastructure, it can be deployed across any fleet of vehicles quickly and easily. This makes it suitable for users Public Safety, Military, Energy, and Mining.

The combination of the globally available Inmarsat BGAN satellite network and regionally available terrestrial networks ensures that mobile assets are always in reach, whether servicing equipment in the field, protecting national borders, exploring for natural resources or saving lives after a disaster.
