Hytera’s PoC Solutions Ensure Reliable Communications at Cycling Race in Greece

Hytera has announced that its Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) solutions provided uninterrupted communications during L’Étape Greece 2026, a cycling race held along the challenging mountainous routes of the Peloponnese. The project was delivered by Greek communications provider Cobra Center, which deployed an LTE-based communication system for race organizers, course marshals, and emergency response teams across the entire course.

The 150-kilometre route passed through forest trails, steep climbs, and remote areas where conventional communication systems often experience coverage limitations. To ensure reliable connectivity, Hytera’s PNC360 and MNC360 PoC radios were deployed, providing stable two-way communications over the nationwide LTE network. According to the company, the solution achieved full coverage of the entire race route without any unplanned technical interruptions, while operational and emergency information was exchanged in real time.

Following the successful implementation of the project, Cobra Center plans to expand the deployment of Hytera’s LTE and PoC solutions to other major sporting and commercial events across Greece. The company believes that unified cellular PoC communications could become the standard logistics and coordination solution for large-scale events that require reliable communications over long distances and in demanding environments.
