Challenger Mobile introduces digital push-to-talk radio

Published: 19 October 2017

Communications business Challenger has announced that it will expand its product range by introducing digital push-to-talk radio, alongside the mobile phones and contracts already sold by franchisees.

The company, which recently launched its franchise model, intends for the addition to be another way in which franchisees can increase their earnings as the business expands.

Teaming up with iPTT, digital push-to-talk radio is designed to solve long-range communication problems faced by UK businesses. It can be used by both private and public sector organisations, including shops, schools, factories, as well as by events and security personnel.

The advantages of digital push-to-talk radio include calls being recorded and stored in the cloud, the inclusion of GPS, the ability to group broadcast, and an extended standby and talk time. It can also be used as a regular mobile phone without requiring a contract.

Challenger Mobile Communications was established in 1991 and is part of the O2 Direct Partner Network. It provides telecoms solutions to match the individual needs of businesses.
