Two-Way Voice, Built Into the Platform
Real-time push-to-talk voice for personnel, crews, and incident command — without a radio system, a licence, or a second app to manage.
Radios Without the Radios
Turn the phones, tablets, and computers your people already carry into push-to-talk handsets. No repeaters, no rental fleets, no FCC licensing, and no new hardware to issue before a shift.
Up to 50 Named Channels
Create up to 50 channels per department and name them the way your operation actually works — by station, by function, by event, or by incident — so traffic stays readable instead of piling onto one saturated channel.
Worldwide Reach
Coverage is not limited by a tower, a repeater, or a county line. Anywhere a device has a data connection is in range, which means mutual aid, deployments, and out-of-area crews stay on the same channel.
See Who Is Listening
Every channel shows how many people are on it in real time. Before you key up you know whether anyone is actually there — something a handheld radio can never tell you.
Every Device, One Channel
Desktop, laptop, web, iOS, and Android all join the same channels. Dispatch on a workstation, a crew on a tablet in the cab, and a responder on a phone can hear each other without a patch.
Transmissions Logged
Voice traffic runs over the platform your incidents already live in, so tactical channels come with transmission logging for accountability and after-action review.
Channels That Match Your Operation
The Push-To-Talk addon gives your department up to 50 named voice channels. Set them up once for the way your organization runs day to day, and spin up dedicated channels for a single event or incident when you need them. Because channels are created in software, adding one costs nothing and takes seconds.
- Up to 50 named channels per department
- Name and designate channels by station, function, event, or incident
- Live count of how many users are on each channel
- On-demand tactical channels for incident command
- No repeater programming or channel plan to reissue
- Keep traffic clean per function instead of saturating one channel
On Every Device Your People Already Carry
Push-to-talk runs in the Resgrid web application and in the mobile apps, so the same channel is available from a dispatch workstation, an apparatus tablet, and a responder's phone. There is nothing to hand out, charge overnight, or replace when it is dropped, and a new member is on the air as soon as their account is active.
- Web, desktop, iOS, and Android on the same channels
- Works alongside the Responder, Unit, and Incident Command apps
- Only a data connection is required, on cellular or Wi-Fi
- No handheld to issue, charge, program, or replace
- Personnel who work from vehicles or off-site stay reachable
- Effective for mobile and geographically distributed workforces
Voice That Lives With Your Incidents
This is not a separate voice app bolted onto the side of your operation. Push-to-talk is part of Resgrid, so the people on your channels are the same personnel, roles, and groups you dispatch, staff, and schedule. Incident command can stand up tactical channels for an active call, and transmissions are logged with the incident record rather than disappearing into the air.
- Channel users are your existing Resgrid personnel and roles
- On-demand tactical PTT channels from Incident Command
- Transmission logging supports accountability and after-action review
- Crews talk over the platform without carrying a second radio
- One vendor, one subscription, one roster to maintain
- Nothing extra to integrate with your dispatch system
Priced Per Ten Users, Not Per Handset
The addon is sold in packs of ten users and billed monthly, so you buy capacity for the people who actually need voice rather than a radio for every member of the roster. It sits alongside your main subscription: add packs before a busy season or a large event, drop them afterward, and your plan and entity count never change.
- Sold in 10-user packs, billed monthly
- Add or remove packs at any time without touching your subscription
- Scale up for an event or deployment and scale back down after
- No hardware purchase, rental, or replacement cost
- No licensing, repeater, or tower infrastructure to maintain
- Low cost compared to traditional radio systems and rental fleets
Compared to Two-Way Radios
Push-to-talk over IP is not a replacement for every radio system, but for volunteer departments, event crews, mobile workforces, and mutual-aid coordination it removes most of the cost and the logistics.
