Pryme, a leading manufacturer of professional wireless and wired audio accessories for two-way radios and push-to-talk (PTT) communications, is expanding strategic partnership with PositionPTT, a provider of nationwide push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) solutions for businesses across the United States.

“The partnership pairs PositionPTT's PoC radios, smartphone application, and dispatch platform with Pryme's headsets, speaker mics, and PTT switches to meet Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements and enable employees to communicate hands-free without interrupting critical tasks,” said Dave George, president and Chief Technologist of Pryme.

Founded in 2018, PositionPTT delivers turnkey PoC communications over T-Mobile and AT&T nationwide cellular networks, enabling seamless communication between field personnel, dispatchers, and other team members using a streamlined ecosystem of handheld and in-vehicle radios, mobile application, and desktop dispatch software.

With GPS location tracking, central dispatch capabilities, and plug-and-play deployment, the system offers an ideal alternative to traditional two-way radio infrastructure while allowing organizations to easily connect users regardless of device type.

“Oftentimes it's mandated that communications be hands-free," said Bill Trout, president and owner of PositionPTT. "Our devices are DOT distracted-driver compliant, so anybody operating a vehicle should be using a hands-free solution. That’s where PRYME Audio Accessories make the perfect partner."

Customers across diverse industries have increasingly adopted the PositionPTT/Pryme solution including private security, hospitality, transportation, construction, distribution, waste management, and facilities administration, where reliable, hands-free communications improve worker safety and operational efficiency.

For example, a nationwide airport services company deployed more than 100 Pryme Trooper II speaker microphones with PositionPTT radios, enabling ground crews and other personnel to communicate hands-free.

In Chicago, a large food distribution company incorporated Pryme noise-canceling headphones with PositionPTT radios providing touchless communications as well as hearing protection.

In another deployment, a New York private security company equipped its personnel with PositionPTT radios bundled with Pryme acoustic tube surveillance earpieces, giving guards the ability to maintain a low-profile and communicate discreetly.

“In addition to delivering compatible communications solutions, we also collaborate on initiatives that help customers identify the accessories best suited for their needs,” George added.

"Pryme has been a trusted partner for over six years,” said Trout. “Their responsiveness, willingness to dropship directly to our customers, and help create sales materials has made them an extension of our own operation. That kind of support is rare, and it directly improves the experience we deliver to our customers."
