Abstract
A method of managing access to a push-to-talk-over-cellular (POC) talkgroup may include providing a control device configured to provide a POC service and manage a first POC talkgroup. The method may further include controlling the control device to grant a first non-subscriber device access to the POC service and the first POC talkgroup such that the first non-subscriber device is permitted to join the first POC talkgroup and communicate via the first POC talkgroup using the POC service. The method may further include transmitting, from the control device to the first non-subscriber device, a first communication including a link to download a POC software application configured to join the first POC talkgroup and communicate via the first POC talkgroup using the POC service.
