Sprint’s recently successful test of the first PTT (Push-To-Talk) connection between an iDEN and CDMA phone was leading up to this. Today Sprint (NYSE: S) announced that the PTT technology will be dubbed Nextel Direct Connect, regardless of whether the phone s used on the Nextel or Sprint network.
The Nextel Direct Connect feature will be a cross-network feature, allowing instant PTT communication between Sprint’s CDMA and Nextel’s iDEN phones. Sprint also announced new Nextel Direct Connect-enabled phones for the Sprint CDMA network. They aren’t the CDMA/iDEN hybrid phones that work on either network, but they’ll be able to communicate with Nextel phones through the Nextel Direct Connect feature.
