HaaS is the version of PTT where you own nothing. The platform is operated, updated and maintained by Hytera; you subscribe, provision users and start.

Buys: deployment in days rather than months, no servers to house or patch, and capacity that scales with a configuration change rather than a purchase order.

Costs: a recurring per-user charge, and a dependency on a platform outside your control. For a field team that needs coordination now, that is the right trade. For an organisation whose communication must survive events that take commercial services down, it is not — and the answer there is on-premises HyTalk or a narrowband system alongside.

• PTT — instant group and individual voice
• Dispatch — visual management and coordination
• Recording and playback in the browser, for post-incident review
• Operation and reporting — monitoring, usage statistics and policy management
• Multi-tier structure — distributors managing sub-distributors and end users
• Role-based access with multi-tenant isolation

Field teams that need coverage across the country without infrastructure, and organisations trialling PTT before committing to a system. See PoC radio for how coverage and cost compare against DMR over a five-year horizon.
