Eastern China's Fujian Mobile Communications has chosen Nokia's Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC) platform for businesses in Fujian province, and plans expand the service to consumers at a later date.

In addition to the PoC platform, the contract includes Systems Integration (SI) services to Fujian MCC's provisioning and billing platforms. Nokia SI services integrate complex service platforms and related IT systems to work as a seamless entity in the customer environment.

Nokia's PoC solution offers one-to-one and one-to-many voice communication services in cellular networks. The ?always on? connection offers a direct voice connection at the press of a button. The end-to-end PoC solution will be compliant with the OMA standard and compatible with the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) as standardised in 3GPP.

* To date Nokia has over 45 PoC references globally.
