CritiComms

What CritiComms does

CritiComms provides Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) instant critical communications software for public-safety, government, and enterprise customers. The core platform, CritiComms PTT, delivers AES-256 encrypted voice, group and one-to-one messaging, live and historical GPS tracking, geofenced dispatch, and interoperability with legacy LMR/DMR radio networks (P25 via ISSI/CSSI, DMR via ASI, TETRA, Analog, NEXEDGE, MotoTRBO) through a Radio-over-IP gateway. The platform runs as an Over-The-Top service over 3G/4G/LTE/5G/WiFi and can be deployed on AWS-hosted cloud infrastructure or on-premise dedicated CritiComms servers, with companion Windows dispatch and mobile-device-management clients.

The product portfolio has expanded beyond the original PoC application into CritiComms Connect (a SmartSIM and eSIM connectivity layer routing across six carriers in Latin America and the Caribbean), MotoTalk (a peer-to-peer field-team communications app with shift management and MDM), and TrackVigilante/GuardTek (a command-center and workforce-management suite for the private-security vertical). CritiComms also certifies and resells rugged purpose-built devices (notably RugGear RG170/RG655/RG360, IP68/69 rated) and accessories from OTTO, Pryme, Savox, Aina, and others, enabling bundled hardware-plus-software deployments.

The business model is a customized, subscription-based recurring revenue model augmented by device and accessory sales, with multi-year enterprise contracts and pricing personalized per customer. The company sells through a consultative direct enterprise sales motion, supported by website-driven free-demo lead generation, and positions itself as a regional leader in the United States, Caribbean, and Latin America. Customer segments span public safety, private security, healthcare, logistics, transportation, construction/mining, education, and hospitality, with FirstNet and Motorola partnerships anchoring public-safety credibility. The company is privately held, headquartered in Miami with a regional office in Key Largo, Florida, and operates with a small team (11–50 employees).
