Radio Interoperability

Employing an embedded Voice Over IP (VoIP) architecture, the SmartMsg Radio Interoperability Unit (RIU) enables simultaneous text and voice broadcast of alert notifications to two-way radios, push-to-talk (PTT) enabled devices (ie. Nextel and other supported cell phones), PCs, phones (PBX, IP-based, cell and satellite), pagers and wireless PDAs.  The SmartMsg radio interoperability module also facilitates integrated real-time communication between two-way radio talk groups, PTT groups, phones and PCs.  The SmartMsg solution supports radios regardless of the manufacturer, and across multiple bands/frequencies and pre-defined talk groups.

The Codespear-aligned RIU (Radio Interoperability Unit) consists of a customized computer (desktop PC, rack-mount, laptop or briefcase unit) with an integrated-compact hardware module accessory, which also acts as a standard SmartMsg server.  Once a radio is "docked" into SmartMsg, the VoIP architecture effectively enables that radio as a virtual repeater.  The device can now communicate over a SmartMsg distributed server, while operating on either a private and/or public internet infrastructure.

• Full communications interoperability - integrated voice and data communication allows PCs, radios and phones to communicate seamlessly.
• Distributed messaging architecture provides scalability, redundancy and automated fail-over in support of thousands of users across hundreds of servers.
