Diga-Talk Solutions
Achieve instant, island-wide, and nationwide Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) communication without the high costs of FCC licensing or private repeater infrastructure.
What Diga-Talk Solutions offer your operation
When your fleet’s operations extend far beyond the reach of a traditional two-way radio system, Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) is the ultimate solution. Diga-Talk+ utilizes the nation’s largest and fastest 4G LTE cellular networks to provide crystal-clear, digital voice communications anywhere you have cell service.
At Starcomm Wireless, we frequently recommend Diga-Talk for Hawaii-based transportation fleets, delivery services, school buses, and towing companies. With Diga-Talk, you get the unlimited, instant push-to-talk simplicity of a two-way radio combined with the massive coverage footprint of a smartphone—all for a predictable, flat monthly rate. No expensive repeaters to build, no frequencies to license, and no dead zones when your drivers cross the island.
Diga-Talk Portable Handheld Radios
Diga-Talk portables give your mobile workforce the rugged durability of a traditional walkie-talkie powered by a nationwide 4G LTE network.
DTP9750 Portable Radio
Known as the “workhorse” of the Diga-Talk lineup, the DTP9750 is a rugged, compact handheld device built for the demands of the workday. It features a bright, full-color display, a dedicated Emergency SOS button, and a massive 5200 mAh rechargeable battery that easily powers through long shifts. With the push of a button, users can make private one-to-one calls or instant group broadcasts. It is the perfect reliable companion for security, event management, and field service workers who need coverage across town or across the state.
Diga-Talk Mobile In-Vehicle Radios
For fleets navigating Hawaii’s highways, Diga-Talk mobile radios provide DOT-compliant, safe, and hands-free communication that keeps your drivers connected to dispatch no matter how far they travel.
DTP8900 Mobile Base Radio
The DTP8900 is Diga-Talk’s most popular in-vehicle radio for a reason. It features a compact, rugged design with a large, high-contrast color screen that is easy to read from the driver’s seat. The installation is incredibly streamlined thanks to an integrated LTE/GPS combination antenna. With low power consumption and the ability to integrate securely with optional PC Dispatch Software, the DTP8900 is the ultimate dashboard upgrade for logistics, waste management, and shuttle services.
Why partner with Starcomm Wireless for Diga-Talk?
While Diga-Talk operates on a national cellular network, managing your fleet requires local expertise. Starcomm Wireless provides the on-island support you need to keep your fleet moving.
-
Zero Infrastructure Required: Unlike traditional radio systems, Diga-Talk requires no base stations or repeaters. We simply activate your devices, and your team is instantly connected across Oahu, the neighbor islands, or even the mainland.
-
Advanced PC Dispatching & GPS: We can set up your command center with Diga-Talk’s PC Dispatch Software. This allows your dispatchers to track the real-time GPS location of your DTP9750s and DTP8900s, view route playback, set up geofences, and record call history directly from their desktop.
-
Local Activation and Support: We handle all the device programming, monthly service activations, and hardware mounting right here in Honolulu. If a driver has an issue, they don’t have to call a 1-800 number on the mainland—our Starcomm technicians are here to help same-day.
Frequently Asked Questions about Diga-Talk Equipment
Do I need an FCC license to use Diga-Talk radios?
No. Because Diga-Talk devices transmit over existing commercial 4G LTE cellular networks rather than private radio frequencies, there is absolutely no FCC licensing, frequency coordination, or repeater maintenance required.
Is there a monthly fee to use these radios?
Yes. Similar to a smartphone, Diga-Talk radios require an active cellular data subscription to connect to the 4G LTE network. Starcomm Wireless offers highly competitive, flat-rate monthly or annual plans that provide unlimited push-to-talk airtime with no hidden overage charges.
Will Diga-Talk work if I send a driver to a different Hawaiian island?
Yes! As long as there is 4G LTE cellular service in the area, the radios will work seamlessly. A dispatcher in Honolulu can instantly push-to-talk with a delivery driver in Hilo or Kahului just as clearly as if they were in the same building.
Are the mobile radios legal for my drivers to use while driving?
Yes. Unlike cellular smartphones, which are heavily restricted by DOT distracted driving laws, two-way mobile radios like the DTP8900 are classified differently. They provide a legal, hands-free compliant, and safe way for your commercial drivers to stay in constant contact with dispatch.
What happens if the cellular network goes down during an emergency?
This is an important distinction to make: Diga-Talk relies on public commercial cellular towers. If a major hurricane or disaster takes down the local cell towers, your Diga-Talk radios will lose service. If your operation requires 100% mission-critical, off-grid communication during disasters, we recommend speaking with our Starcomm engineers about building a private DMR system (like Hytera or Kenwood) instead.
Can I track the location of my drivers or staff using these radios?
Yes! Because Diga-Talk devices operate on cellular networks, both the DTP9750 portable and the DTP8900 mobile radio feature highly accurate, built-in GPS. When you pair your devices with the Diga-Talk PC Dispatch Software, your command center can view real-time locations on a live map, review historical route playback, and even set up geofences to receive alerts when a radio enters or leaves a specific area. This provides ultimate visibility over your workforce, whether they are running routes across Oahu or managing a large outdoor event.
