RUYAGE CT98 Zello-Compatible 4G LTE Vehicle Radio
The RUYAGE CT98 Zello-compatible vehicle radio is an Android-based mobile Push-to-Talk communication device designed for trucks, delivery vehicles, taxis, security patrols and professional fleets.
Using 4G LTE mobile data or WiFi, the CT98 connects drivers, dispatchers and mobile teams through the Zello Push-to-Talk app. Its included handheld microphone features a physical PTT button for quick voice communication from the driver's position.
This listing is for the Zello-compatible CT98 configuration. It is different from the RUYAGE CT98 PoC service version. All users who need to communicate together must use compatible Zello accounts and network connections.
Important: Communication coverage depends on compatible mobile data or WiFi access. SIM cards, mobile data plans and Zello services may be sold separately unless specifically included with the selected package.
Key Features
- Zello-Compatible Vehicle Push-to-Talk: Use Zello for direct PTT conversations and group channels between drivers, dispatchers and other connected team members.
- 4G LTE and WiFi Connectivity: Connect through a compatible 4G SIM card while travelling or use WiFi when the vehicle is parked within a suitable wireless network.
- Handheld PTT Microphone Included: The supplied microphone features a physical Push-to-Talk button, allowing users to transmit without navigating through multiple on-screen menus.
- Android Network Radio: The Android operating system supports the Zello application and compatible communication functions permitted by the installed firmware.
- Fleet and Dispatch Communication: Connect vehicles with dispatch locations, warehouses, offices and field teams to support delivery coordination, passenger transportation and mobile operations.
- Network-Dependent Long-Distance Communication: Unlike direct UHF or VHF vehicle radios, the CT98 communicates through internet networks. Its usable area is determined by compatible cellular or WiFi coverage rather than a fixed radio-to-radio distance.
- Compact Vehicle-Mounted Design: The radio body measures approximately 4.0 × 2.0 × 1.77 inches and weighs approximately 140g, helping conserve dashboard and console space.
- Direct and Group PTT: Communicate directly with an individual Zello contact or coordinate multiple users through configured Zello channels.
