Motorola announces EV-DO based PTT system

Motorola has announced its new Push to Talk (PTT) technology for EV-DO Rev. A networks. Like the original technology seen on Nextel, Motorola claims its new system will provide instant, direct connections between users. Motorola spearheaded the consumer PTT movement with its popular iDEN network technology, and hopes to improve on that with this recent announcement.

Motorola's new PTT system allows for faster connection speeds, lower latency, and improved quality of service. The new system also supports PC-based connections, which could allow for companies to more effectively manage their field representatives.
