An IP push-to-talk radio
that reaches the phone network and AI.
Smartphones, tablets and PCs become radios you simply press to talk on. Anywhere with an internet connection is in range for a group call. And beyond that: PSTN interconnection, IP-PBX integration and voice AI agent support as standard. Nothing is lost between the field, the phone network, the control room and AI.
Radio should not stop at radio. One line through phones, your organization and AI.
In most IP radio apps the conversation stays inside the app. AGEphone PTT is built on telephony foundations, so a voice on the radio carries straight through to the phone network, to the phone system you already run, and to AI.
Interconnection with the public telephone network, as standard
A radio in the field can call landlines, mobiles and other outside numbers directly, and be called back. A cloud PBX provides the voice platform, connecting to existing gateways over standard SIP. Interconnection with the PSTN means partner agencies and members of the public can join the same radio channel from an ordinary phone. Few IP radio apps have PBX integration built in; in AGEphone PTT it is a standard feature.
IP-PBX integration, as part of the phone system you already run
AGEphone PTT is not a standalone radio app; it runs as part of the IP-PBX. Channels are reachable by extension number and sit alongside hunt groups, transfer and the rest of the PBX feature set. Rather than creating an island for radio, you add channels to the phone platform the organization already has.
Voice AI agents that turn speech into the points that matter
A voice AI agent on the same platform takes the first response on a call, transcribes it and summarizes it. The summary is pushed to the radios in the field as a banner, so everyone on the channel knows immediately what the call was about. Turning speech into text and into key points makes both instructions and hand-overs faster.
Shelter A: query about a delayed water tanker
A member of the public asked when the water tanker will reach Shelter A. They were told 15 minutes. Whether extra staff are needed on site still has to be checked.
From pressing the button to sharing the result, one continuous flow.
Press the button and speak. From there the IP-PBX ties radio, phones and AI together and sends the result back to the field.
Wherever there is an internet connection, range is not a constraint. Mobile networks, Wi-Fi, satellite internet — any two places with IP connectivity are joined together, however far apart.
How it differs from a typical IP radio app
Wide-area group calling is something most IP radio apps do well. What sets AGEphone PTT apart is what comes after it: connecting to the phone network, to the phone system you already run and to AI, as standard.
| Item | Typical IP radio app | RecommendedAGEphone PTT |
|---|---|---|
| Wide-area group calling (no range limit) | Supported | Supported |
| Group and channel calling | Supported | Supported |
| PSTN interconnection | Not supported / limited | Included as standard |
| Integration with an existing IP-PBX (as an extension) | Tends to be run separately | Held as an extension |
| Voice AI agents (transcription and summary) | Optional, or similar | On the same platform |
| Supported devices | Mostly smartphones | Phones / tablets (iPad and Android) / PCs (browser) |
| Running with internal and outside lines as one | Often disconnected | One and the same phone platform |
This table compares AGEphone PTT with how IP radio apps are generally configured, based on our own research. It does not assert or guarantee the capabilities of any particular product or service, and support varies between products. "Limited" and "optional, or similar" indicate that a capability may not be included as standard, or may require separate configuration or an additional contract. Connecting to outside lines (PSTN) requires a separate line contract such as a SIP trunk.
Where it earns its place: public service in the field.
From disaster preparedness and fire services to everyday local authority work, healthcare and care homes. Radio that reaches the phone network and AI helps people in the field decide faster.
The devices you already carry become the radios.
There is no dedicated radio hardware to buy. The smartphones and tablets (iPad and Android) people already use, and a PC browser, become push-to-talk radios as they are. Half-duplex floor control organizes transmissions automatically, so voices do not overlap and it is always clear who is speaking.
On iPhone in particular, the app supports the PushToTalk framework introduced in iOS 16 (the OS-native push-to-talk integration). Even while the device is asleep or the screen is locked, it connects in the background the moment someone starts transmitting on the channel, and the audio plays straight away. There is no need to reopen the app or unlock the screen — the phone can stay in a pocket or holster without missing anything. Android devices, iPads and PC browsers (WebRTC) join the same channel, so a mixed fleet works fine.
The right to transmit is held on the server. Only one person talks at a time, which prevents people speaking over each other and makes clear who is on air. Audio is encrypted with SRTP.
Voice specialists bringing radio, phones and AI together.
Designed by ageet, the company behind AGEphone, on top of its SIP and IP-PBX experience. Radio and telephony are continuous with each other.
The right to transmit is enforced on the server and audio is encrypted with SRTP, so "press and everyone hears it" stays under control.
It works with the PBX, AI answering, transcription and summaries on the same platform. Radio is where it starts, not where it ends.
