What Is Push-to-Talk (PTT)?
Push‑to‑Talk (PTT), also known as “press‑to‑transmit” or “push‑to‑speak,” is a communication method using a half‑duplex model—only one person can speak at a time, activated by pressing a button to transmit and releasing it to listen. This approach originated in early two‑way radios and walkie‑talkies, and has evolved to include Push‑to‑Talk over Cellular (PoC) and smartphone apps.
