Three problems most mining comms solutions don’t solve at once.
UHF repeater networks were designed for smaller sites. On a large open-cut or underground operation, you know the dead zones better than your comms vendor does. You’ve mapped them. You’ve worked around them. The haul truck that drops out behind the ore dump. The portal where transmission cuts to static. Repeaters are expensive to install, expensive to maintain, and they still leave gaps.
Consumer smartphones don’t survive mine site conditions. Dust. Vibration. Drops. Wet hands. A consumer Android in a PPE pocket doesn’t last a shift. App-only PTT solutions that run on consumer devices compound the problem — the hardware fails before the software ever gets a chance to.
And then there’s the data question. App-only PTT solutions like Zello and many generic PoC platforms run on servers in the United States. For a mining company with government contracts, ASX disclosure obligations, or an explicit data residency policy, that’s not a minor inconvenience — it’s a procurement disqualifier. P2T solves all three.
Five reasons mine site operators choose P2T over the alternatives.
You’ve probably evaluated Motorola DMR, Tait TETRA, and a generic PoC reseller or two. Here’s where P2T lands differently.
Purpose-built field hardware
The T60K and T65 handportables were designed for fieldwork — not repurposed consumer devices with a rubber bumper added. 15-hour battery. IP-rated for dust and water ingress. GPS and duress built in. Every device ships pre-programmed with your talkgroups already configured. You receive it, turn it on, and your team talks. No on-site configuration. No technician. No delay.
Australia-wide coverage — no repeaters
P2T runs on 4GX/4G/3G cellular plus WiFi augmentation. If there’s a signal, your team can talk — from the pit to the site office to head office, all on the same talkgroup. No repeater infrastructure to install. No repeater sites to power and maintain. No coverage surveys to commission before you expand. The M50K vehicle-mounted unit runs on 12/24V DC — straight into the haul truck or plant vehicle, no inverter required.
Australian-owned servers — a technical guarantee
All voice calls, GPS data, recordings, and operational logs are processed and stored on servers P2T owns and operates in Australia. This is not a privacy policy claim — it’s how the system is built. Data does not leave the country. For mining companies operating under government contracts, holding ASX listings, or subject to explicit data residency requirements, this moves from preference to procurement requirement. We meet it.
WHS-grade safety features — standard, not add-ons
Duress/SOS, lone worker monitoring, GPS with 36-month breadcrumb retention, and timestamped voice recording are available across the T60K, T65, and Smartphone App — managed via Web Dispatcher. Lone worker timers are configured per device without any hardware modification. If a worker doesn’t check in, the dispatcher is alerted automatically. Everything you need to document an incident or defend a WHS investigation is retained for 36 months on Australian servers.
Fully-Integrated stack — one provider, one number to call
Hardware, network, software, dispatcher, and Australian support — all from Press2Talk. No blaming vendors. No integration overhead. No “that’s the radio manufacturer’s problem.” When the T60K on your haul truck doesn’t register on the dispatcher map at 2am on a Sunday, you call one number and speak to someone in your timezone who owns the entire stack.
What a typical mining deployment looks like.
Most operations run a mix of field handportables, vehicle-mounted units, and the Web Dispatcher at the site office — with supervisors and remote management on the Smartphone App. Here’s what each component does on a mine site. Push to Talk for Mining.
T60K
The primary handportable for field workers. 15-hour battery. Screen and keypad for individual dialling and group switching. GPS, duress, and NFC for safety patrol checkpoints. Arrives pre-programmed — ready for the shift the day it arrives.
T60K / T65 specs →
T65
Same coverage, same durability, no screen or keypad. For roles where simplicity matters more than individual dialling — bulk field crew, plant operators, and any position where fewer controls means fewer errors under pressure. Lower per-seat cost than the T60K.
T60K / T65 specs →
M50K
Compact mobile/base unit for haul trucks, plant vehicles, and site offices. 12/24V DC supply — direct wiring into the vehicle electrical system, no inverter required. Always-on comms for operators who can’t carry a handportable. Desk-mountable for site office use.
M50K specs →
Web Dispatcher
Live GPS map of all assets. Duress and lone worker management. Voice recording playback. Job ticketing. Runs in any browser — site office, remote management centre, or head office. No software to install. The lone worker timer, SOS alerts, and GPS breadcrumb history are all managed from here.
Web Dispatcher →Smartphone App
Site supervisors, remote management, and head-office staff on the same network as the field hardware — without an extra device. iOS and Android. The Smartphone App gives supervisors full talkgroup access, GPS visibility, and duress receive capability from wherever they are.
Smartphone App →If your WHS management plan calls for any of this — P2T checks the box.
Australian mining operators have real obligations under the WHS Act and state mining regulations — including WA’s WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022. This section is not a feature list. It’s a compliance checklist.
Duress / SOS
One-button alert sends live GPS location to the dispatcher and all designated responders simultaneously. Available on T60K, T65, and Smartphone App. Response coordination begins the moment the button is pressed — not when someone notices the worker hasn’t checked in.
Lone Worker Monitoring
Configurable timer per device — set the check-in interval appropriate to the role and the risk. If a worker doesn’t respond within the window, the Web Dispatcher issues an automatic alert. Configured via browser with no hardware modification required. No physical IT intervention at the device.
Voice Recording & Audit Trail
All PTT calls are recorded with timestamp and stored on Australian servers for 36 months. Available for playback via Web Dispatcher. If an incident occurs, the voice record exists — the conversation, the time, the participants. Available for WHS investigation, internal audit, or legal evidence as required.
GPS Breadcrumb — 36-Month History
Location history per device, retained for 36 months. Exportable. If a worker was in a hazardous area at the time of an incident, you can place them precisely. The 36-month retention period aligns with standard WHS documentation requirements under Australian mining regulations.
Data Residency — No Exceptions
All operational data — voice recordings, GPS logs, call records, system telemetry — remains on P2T-owned servers in Australia. There is no routing through offshore cloud infrastructure. No US data centres. No grey areas. For mining operators with government contracts or ASX disclosure obligations, this is verifiable and documented.
- 100% Network uptime — 48+ consecutive months
- AES‑256 Encrypted data backup — stored in Australia
- 36 mo GPS & voice recording retention
- Day 1 Hardware arrives pre-programmed and ready to use
