SmartMSG RIU Radio Interoperability Unit
SmartMsg, Codespear’s flagship product, is a software-centric solution that provides comprehensive communications interoperability among multiple agencies and communication devices. Disparate, non-interoperable communication hardware has caused first responders and other public safety personnel significant difficulty in communicating with each other and there is still no real solution in place. In addition to the need for interoperable, live communications, public safety institutions must have the ability to broadcast time-sensitive alerts to both target groups and mass citizenry. Interoperability and alerting concerns need a more immediate solution and must be met in order for communities to have the best possible chance of minimizing catastrophe.
SmartMsg blends communications interoperability, alert notification, secure urgent messaging, and interactive data sharing into a single, stationary and / or highly portable, seamless software package. This approach to interoperable communications produces a complete solution which provides critical communications support for emergency preparedness and response, command and control, incident response, and continuity of operations across jurisdictions, agencies and first responders. Each of these capabilities can be used independent of one another, or, they can be used in conjunction to deliver a comprehensive, highly flexible, cost effective and easily expandable communications system.
The Federal SmartMSG radio interoperability unit’s (RIU) embedded voice-over- IP (VoIP) architecture enables the simultaneous text and voice broadcast of alert notifications to two-way radios, push-to-talk (“PTT”) enabled devices, PCs, phones, pagers and wireless PDAs. The radio interoperable module also enables integrated real-time communication between two-way radio talk groups, PTT groups, phone devices and PCs. This solution supports radios from different manufacturers, across multiple bands and frequencies (including HAM), and pre-defined talk groups. The SmartMSG RIU consists of a compact hardware appliance and a standard PC configuration, which also can operate as a standard SmartMSG server. Once a radio is docked into the RIU appliance, the VoIP architecture effectively enables that radio as a secure virtual repeater.
