The Campus Security Challenge
Large sites present a specific communication problem. Buildings block standard radio signal, teams are spread across a wide footprint, and security, facilities, and emergency response staff often need to coordinate as one group despite using different equipment day to day. Building out a dedicated radio network to cover every corner of a large campus is expensive and slow, particularly where coverage gaps only show up once staff are actually working the site.
How TeamPTT Actually Works
TeamPTT is a push-to-talk-over-cellular (PTToC) solution, provided in partnership with ESChat, that connects radio, cellular, and WiFi networks so users on any of these can talk to each other as one group. A team member working inside a building with poor radio signal, a facilities staffer on WiFi, and a security guard on a traditional two-way radio can all join the same conversation.
LMR Integration
Integrates with existing Tait land mobile radio systems, including analogue, DMR, and P25 networks.
Any Device
Users join from a range of end-user devices, including smartphones staff already know how to use.
Extends Coverage
Reaches building interiors and other areas standard radio signal struggles to cover, using cellular and WiFi instead.
No New Network Build
Uses existing cellular and WiFi infrastructure rather than requiring a dedicated radio network from scratch.

Is This the Right Fit for Your Site?
TeamPTT is not necessarily a replacement for a traditional two-way radio network, it works well as an addition, letting broadband-connected staff join radio conversations without needing a dedicated radio. The right approach for your site depends on your existing infrastructure, how spread out your teams are, and how many staff genuinely need to be in the loop versus how many need dedicated, licensed radio coverage.
