Full Duplex: Why Your Industrial Team Must Abandon PTT (Push-To-Talk)

In the industrial sector, whether it involves heavy maintenance, factory production, or complex logistics: communication is the backbone of efficiency and safety. Yet, many teams still rely on PTT (Push-To-Talk) systems, the classic walkie-talkie mode.

PTT, where the user must press a button to speak and release it to listen, imposes non-simultaneous communication. This approach, while simple, becomes a major hindrance in a demanding professional environment:

  • Delay and Loss of Information: Critical orders must be given sequentially, introducing a dangerous delay (latency).
  • Forced Monologue: It is impossible to interrupt the interlocutor for a clarification or an emergency, increasing the risk of misunderstanding and errors.
  • Occupied Hands: The operator must consistently use one hand to manipulate the PTT button, a prohibitive constraint for personnel working with tools or loads.

The modern solution, inherited from the highest-performing communication standards, is Full Duplex. Full Duplex revolutionises industrial communication by allowing users to speak and listen simultaneously and continuously, exactly as during a telephone call. Thanks to this mode, communication regains its natural and bidirectional character.

By adopting a Full Duplex system, teams immediately benefit from true hands-free factory communication, a fundamental advantage for the safety and precision of maintenance or assembly tasks.

The VOKKERO GUARDIAN is a Full Duplex system entirely designed to overcome the challenges of noisy environments. It goes beyond simple simultaneous conversation:

  1. Zero Latency: Signal processing is continuous. There is no waiting or micro-interruption. The VOKKERO GUARDIAN guarantees instant responsiveness, essential during complex manoeuvres or emergency shutdown procedures.
  2. The Alliance of Clarity: The effectiveness of Full Duplex is multiplied by the patented VOKKERO noise filter. Unlike PTT systems that amplify noise, the VOKKERO GUARDIAN isolates the human voice within the continuous flow of Full Duplex, ensuring that every word is heard perfectly, even amidst the clamour of machines.

In the event of an incident, an operator can instantly raise the alarm without having to look for the button, interrupting the speaker if necessary, thereby ensuring personnel safety.

Switching to Full Duplex is not a luxury; it is a profitable investment for industry:

Vokkero Guardian BenefitImpact on Activity
Speed of CoordinationReduction in cycle time for maintenance or verification operations.
Precision of InstructionsDecrease in handling errors thanks to the possibility of correcting or clarifying in real-time.
Quality of TrainingSupervisors can coach and correct trainees immediately, accelerating skills acquisition.

To guarantee fluid, secure, and efficient communication, your industrial team can no longer afford the slowness and risks inherent in PTT. The VOKKERO GUARDIAN offers the performance of Full Duplex combined with superior noise suppression, transforming the way your teams collaborate.
