Connecting Smartphones and Two-Way Radios
Posted by Two Way Direct on 18th Jun 2019
The future of wireless communication is here. We have interoperability technology that allows you to use your smartphone to communicate with your team’s two-way radios when you are outside of your two-way radio coverage area.
What is Interoperability?
Interoperability is the ability of computerized systems to exchange information to other over networked systems. Our Land Mobile Radio Interoperability kit allows your LTE network to communicate with your LMR infrastructure. In simpler terms, while using an enhanced push-to-talk feature on your smartphone, you are able to connect your smartphone to two-way radios.
Interoperability Benefits
There are many benefits to connecting smartphones and two-way radios, like costs, connectivity, and productivity.
Interoperability provides a low cost alternative to businesses that can use agency phones instead of purchasing new expensive radios to connect. Often, businesses can reduce the amount of devices used to communicate by carrying only one smartphone.
The connectivity of the push-to-talk service extends passed the LMR network. Get reliable and seamless nationwide coverage by your service provider towers. This allows you to have instant communication with your team across the country.
Increase productivity by staying connected at all times. Having LMR to LTE Interoperability gives your business the option to have group-to-group calling, talk-group scanning, and dispatch connectivity. Get your team to communicate on projects without delays.
Whether you slipped into a dead zone or are halfway across the country, we have the solution to enable your smartphone to communicate with your radio network no matter where you are.
