MNO vs PRO: How to Choose the Right POCSTARS PoC Delivery Model

Compare POCSTARS MNO vs PRO by delivery and operating model—not feature lists. Learn when to choose SaaS rollout & operations (MNO) vs private deployment & integration readiness (PRO).

When Devices Fall Out of Sync, Situational Awareness Goes Dark. Why Public Safety Needs a Strict Device Baseline

In public safety, device drift quietly weakens situational awareness. Learn how POCSTARS MDM keeps frontline devices aligned, controlled, and communication-ready across shifts and roles.

Why Device Control Matters in Correctional Facilities — And How Unmanaged Devices Become the Weakest Wall

In correctional facilities, unmanaged devices can drift out of policy and create security and compliance blind spots. Learn how POCSTARS MDM keeps frontline devices aligned, controlled, and communication-ready across shifts.

When unmanaged devices quietly weaken the safety chain: device management for hazardous sites

Hazardous operations now depend on digital communication, location and smart devices. This article explains how unmanaged devices quietly weaken the safety chain in chemical and industrial sites, and how POCSTARS MDM helps keep frontline devices aligned, compliant and communication-ready.

Not all PoC is the same: app-based PoC vs OMA PoC platforms

Many PoC solutions look similar during pilot projects, but behave very differently once they move into daily operations. This article explains the key differences between app-based PoC and OMA PoC-based telecom-grade platforms, and what they mean for large-scale deployment and long-term operations.

Why Ports Need Communication-Ready Devices — And Why Device Misalignment Causes More Failures Than the Network

Port communication failures often come not from the network but from misaligned, unmanaged devices. Learn how POCSTARS MDM keeps frontline operations connected.

MCPTT ≠ PMR/LMR: Understanding the Evolution of Mission-Critical Communications

As mission-critical communication evolves from narrowband radio to broadband networks, understanding the distinction between PMR/LMR and MCPTT (part of the 3GPP-defined MCX framework) is essential. This article explores how MCPTT builds on the reliability of traditional radio while extending capabilities to LTE/5G, enabling voice, video, and data interoperability — not as a replacement, but as the next stage in the evolution of critical communications.

MCPTT Explained: What It Is and How It Differs from PTToC

Push-to-Talk (PTT) technologies have become indispensable across industries — from logistics fleets and enterprise teams to emergency responders and defense forces. But not all Push-to-Talk is created equal. Two models dominate today’s broadband PTT landscape: PTToC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) and MCPTT (Mission Critical Push-to-Talk). Both are valuable, but they serve very different purposes. This article introduces what MCPTT is and explains how it differs from PTToC, as part of our MCPTT Essentials Series.
