Case Study

Push to Talk

A collaboration with Liverpool 5G Health and Social Care Testbed, Push to Talk helps people build meaningful connections, reducing feelings of loneliness and boosting mental well-being.

Designed with circularity in mind, the Push to Talk buttons are injection-moulded using ABS plastic. The robust material means the buttons can be returned, refurbished and reused.

The devices use a multi-mode LPWA (low-power wide-area) module for coverage. Allowing for different connection technologies means that the Push to Talk buttons are future-proofed, minimising e-waste and overall costs.

Push to Talk provides a vital service to people experiencing loneliness. By using the circular economy model, we can reduce costs and ensure the service remains accessible.
