Today, one of the most important questions in building communication networks is how to create flexible systems that bring all means of communication together and allow effective coordinated action. Many organisations have long needed dispatch centres.
Interoperability with other agencies’ systems
Personnel using deployable communication systems very often need to work with other agencies. By combining their existing communication equipment with this system, users can quickly and easily set up an automated command post, establish communications instantly and start working with other units.
Rapid deployment
As an interoperable communication solution, this lightweight, portable system combines a wide range of technologies, including cellular and radio equipment, and IP and analogue telephony. Thanks to rapid deployment in the field, users get the full benefit of automatic routing, switching and multi-agency conferencing from a single command centre.
KY880 RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The system is designed for control and inter-agency integration
of radio networks.
The KY880 is a hardware and software suite consisting of
1) A portable shock- and water-resistant Windows computer.
Options:
– built-in industrial computer with touchscreen
– rugged tablet computer with touchscreen
– external Toughbook
2) Operator console
– desk microphone and headphones, or
– headset with PTT button
3) 8-port system controller
Ports are split into 6 radio E&M ports and 2 two-wire telephone ports.
If the system has no external telephone connections,
up to 8 E&M ports can be used.
Signal levels are adjusted in software.
Control interface: RS-232 serial
Various types of radio can be connected. Recommended: ICOM and KENWOOD mobile radios for VHF and CODAN for HF SSB.
The system includes interfaces for connecting other types of radio.
The KY980ROIP controller can additionally be used for remote connection to a radio over the Internet or a local IP network.
The KY980ROIP controller has a built-in SIP client, so it can also connect to a SIP-based VoIP server.
