Note to editors
Push to talk over Cellular ( PoC ) introduces a new, direct one-to-one and one-to-many voice communication service to GSM/GPRS networks.

With push to talk, mobile phone users can use their mobiles like walkie-talkies, communicating with a selected group or with individuals with the push of a single button. This simple, direct communication serves the needs of both business and private users.

Push to talk is especially suited for cases where users need to communicate repeatedly but occasionally with the same group or individual.

Nokia's push to talk solution offers a full feature set and smooth migration to the upcoming Open Mobile Architecture ( OMA ) standard. Nokia's solution is compatible with the IP multimedia subsystem as standardized in 3GPP, and it will be capable of supporting various push to medias, such as video.

Nokia's carrier-grade PoC solution provides competitive performance, a full feature set. Nokia is trialing its solution with more than 30 operators around the world.

Nokia launched its carrier-grade push to talk network products in October 2003, and the world's first push to talk phone, the Nokia 5140, in November 2003. Since then Nokia has introduced a full range of push to talk capable GSM phones, including non-Symbian terminals and Symbian OS-based smartphones. From 2005 onwards push to talk will become available for virtually all Nokia GPRS/WCDMA phones.

Nokia's carrier grade presence solution is based on Open Mobile Alliance ( OMA ) standard. The solution provides competitive performance, and a full feature set supporting PoC as well as a number of other applications. Nokia is trialing the Presence solution with a number of operators around the world.
