Public safety
Radios for public safety teams
When separate teams cannot hear each other, an incident takes longer to handle than it should. Separate groups let one incident channel be opened across the devices already on scene.
What we put in front of this
Our shortlist for this kind of work. Prices exclude VAT.
Inrico T522A 4G PoC Radio
Inrico I-10 4G Body Worn Camera
Dispatcher & GPS Tracking Solution
Inrico T521 4G Radio (Linux)
One incident channel
The control room puts the units handling an incident into one talk group from the console, and the change reaches their radios over the air.
The nearest unit on the map
Every radio reports its GPS position to Dispatcher, so the control room can send whoever is closest.
Video from the scene
The I-10 body worn camera streams live audio and video back to the control room, and it is a push-to-talk radio too.
Coverage without masts
Radios use the mobile network, so coverage follows the network across a CBD or a whole metro, with no repeater sites to build.
Talking to the control room
Dispatcher has push-to-talk built into the console, so a controller speaks to any group from the desk with the mouse or the space bar.
Track playback shows where a unit has been, which helps when a report has to say who was where.
Case study
Cape Town CCID
The Central City Improvement District's Public Safety Officers run city-wide on Inrico T522A radios over the mobile network. The CCID now acts as first responder for incidents in the CBD.
Read the case studyQuestions we get asked
Can different teams share a channel during an incident?
Yes. Talk groups are built and changed in Dispatcher, so a dispatcher can bring units from different teams into one group, and the change reaches the radios over the air.
Can the control room talk to the radios?
Yes. Dispatcher has push-to-talk from the console, as long as the dispatcher has been added to the group.
Are the radios legal to use in South Africa?
Yes. The models we stock carry ICASA type approval, and each certificate is linked from its product page and listed in the Support centre.
