Max Media and Hytera continued to promote the PoC market throughout 2019 and the number of users has continued to expand. As of June 2020, the number of active users exceeded 5,000 and the daily call volume exceeded 200,000 calls. The PoC network continues to generate a profit.
The network is serving a variety of end users from different sectors and different application scenarios, supporting mega sports events, big music shows, hotels and tourism. For example, in 2018, Hytera helped its partner win the communications contract for the KAEC golf tournament in Jeddah. Also, the PoC solution is being used to provide communications services to the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabic, where it has been deployed to support the running of the Kingdom's healthcare system. What's more, Amanco Safety & Security, one of the kingdom's leading safety and security products and solutions supplier, offers a wide variety of products to large and complex private firms and governments institutions with the assistant of Hytera PoC solution.
During the height of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Max Media deployed its PTT communication equipment in Saudi Arabia's hospitals to enable safe, non-contact communications, including those run by the Saudi German Hospitals Group, which operates six multi-specialty tertiary level hospitals in the Kingdom.
