SyTech Corporation and communication interoperability, I

is, receive and transmit radio channels — and all transmissions may be recorded and played back, (911 requirement)

  • All channels are reconfigurable — all channels are reconfigurable on the fly; any radio maybe connected to any channel
  • Integrated Voice and Data — When using multiple RIOS, communications maybe via radio (voice) or a wireless data connection, for example, 802.XX or any wireless integrated network
  • Audio store and forward — Channels interface with radio trunking systems intelligently; the RIOS will wait for acknowledgement before passing the audio to non-trunking systems, thus no audio is lost
  • Built in digital recording and traffic analysis — The RIOS computer has a built-in digital recording capability; audio and data are recorded to the hard drive and archived on a permanent basis to archive media such as DVD
  • No limit on the number of talk groups — There is no limit on the number of Talk Groups; the number is limited only by the number of channels available on the system
  • Permanent archiving — Audio and data may be permanently archived to a 2 bay DVD array
  • PC remote client —This module allows remote users to control and communicate with the RIOS server via an 802.11 wired or wireless network; remote users can perform all functions
  • PDA remote client module — Same capability as the PC Remote Client but adapted to the more limited resources of a PDA
  • PBX — This option can be packaged in a separate box or integrated into the RIOS case to provide connections for standard analog, digital, or VoIP phones
  • Automatic report generation — The system has ability to produce reports automatically; reports will provide the time of all transmissions, incoming or outgoing, length of call, time.

    • The cost of interoperability
    The company says it understands that interoperability must be implemented at a reasonable price and on a reasonable time schedule. The use radio gateways at Public Service Answering Points (PSAPs) and at incident sites are the best solution, providing both affordability and a time schedule (installation can take as little as one day). The PSAPs and the incident sites are connected using IP networks utilizing VoIP technology. The problems of major incident sites where all communications are destroyed, or where multiple agencies using disparate radio systems arrive on site, may be addressed using a combination of mobile and transportable systems. SyTech has implemented complete voice interoperability solutions for PSAP’s, vehicle manufacturers, mobile vehicles, and for transportable shelters. In 2006 and
