Businesses and individuals can significantly reduce communication costs by adopting HORIZON. The service offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional phone calls, providing more calling capabilities, and leading to substantial savings without compromising on communication quality.

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.

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
