HORIZON stands out as one of the most dependable PoC services available providing a consistently reliable communication experience. HORIZON delivers unparalleled reliability and service availability with high-performance and high-capacity cloud servers with geographically diverse failover. Even if an entire data center goes down, the servers will switch to a redundant location so there is no service outage to HORIZON subscribers.

Compatible with all the rugged and feature rich Hytera PoC devices, including handheld PoC radios, mobile Android computers, and a mobile radio; HORIZON offers a comprehensive solution for a wide variety of communication needs.

The HORIZON PoC service includes HORIZON Dispatch, a clean and professional interface to efficient group or individual communications and location tracking.
