WAVE PTX

View All Glossary Terms

Definition

WAVE PTX is Motorola Solutions’ broadband PTT platform that bridges traditional radio systems and modern mobile devices. It allows a MOTOTRBO radio user to talk directly to a smartphone user running the WAVE PTX app — or to users on Motorola TLK devices — all on the same talk group. This is particularly valuable for organizations with field teams using traditional radios and management or remote personnel using smartphones who need to communicate with the same team in real time. WAVE PTX is cloud-based, subscription-based, and works over any internet-connected device.

Frequently Asked Questions

WAVE PTX is Motorola Solutions’ cloud-based platform that enables push-to-talk communication across traditional radios, PTT over Cellular devices (like the Motorola TLK), and smartphones running the WAVE PTX app — all on unified talk groups. Users on different device types communicate as if on the same radio system.
Yes. That is exactly the primary use case WAVE PTX is designed for. A manager anywhere with cellular or Wi-Fi can communicate instantly with field teams on traditional MOTOTRBO radios through a shared WAVE PTX talk group.
No. WAVE PTX extends radio communication to cellular and Wi-Fi devices — it is a bridge, not a replacement. Traditional radio remains the right choice for local field operations where cellular coverage may be inconsistent. WAVE PTX adds the ability to include remote participants and mobile device users in the same communication system.

Why It Matters

Organizations managing hybrid teams — some in the field with radios, some in offices or remote locations with smartphones — face a communication gap between the two groups. WAVE PTX closes that gap without requiring everyone to carry a dedicated radio device.

How SEI Wireless Solutions Uses It

SEI offers WAVE PTX as part of its PTT over Cellular solution set, particularly for enterprise clients with multi-site operations or management teams that need to stay connected to field radio teams without being on-site.
