Radio Over IP Is Your Best Option

Radio over IP is rapidly gaining momentum as the preferred choice for two way wireless transmission and reception. This framework is simple to incorporate as it relies on the same network communication protocols as those found in almost every home, work and government networks, Internet Protocol or IP.

RoIP is really quasi to another widely used technology, VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol. Where they differ is that RoIP provides advanced directives that, in turn, gives it the capacity to offer Push-to-Talk and frequency modification features. The end result is a data exchange system across prevailing infrastructure and greater integrity.

Since this platform easily implements itself into voice and data existing networks already being utilized, the result is a cost effective format that circumvents the costly traditional use of copper and microwave connections. The past problems of poor signal quality and limitations of analog cabling are no longer problem using this platform. RoIP, therefore, not only provides an economically viable alternative but also a highly efficient modality.

So, why should interested parties make the change to radio over IP? The most obvious reason is to create linkage between multiple locations. Traditionally, this was a cost heavy endeavor for additional equipment, especially for sites that were not visible to one another. With RoIP, all that is necessary to establish communication is a shared network. This greatly reduces the cost. This function is known as Site Linking or Point-To-Point.

The ability to gain remote access between end users, or dispatchers, is another added quality to the RoIP technology. IP Dispatch, as it is called, involves establishing communication over LAN, WAN or Internet based networks. Dispatchers easily initiate communications through a number of platforms which include Windows or Linux based PCs and laptops as well as through web-enabled mobile devices such as tablets, Smartphones, PDAs and more. This wide range of connectivity makes RoIP perfect to link two or more individuals as well large groups like a command post or E-911 center.

There are two more highly promoted advantages to tuner over IP technology. The first is its ability to expedite connectivity between sites or systems that in the past were unable to communicate due to incompatibility. The bridge uses a universal junction established through either a microphone or auxiliary device. Control options vary from system to system but include frequency modulation

The second highly touted benefit of this kind of communications system is the Push-to-Talk function. The advantage is a broad, virtually unlimited range facilitated by the use of a simple cell phone or Smartphone application. This would eliminate having to carry a separate device. Historically, access was limited to an authorized and specified geographical area, limiting the range to that area. With RoIP, the communication area can cover international territories and would establish access for more than 90% of the global population.

The choice moving ahead is simple. Radio over IP offers dispatchers dependent on two-way communication fields a low cost, highly efficient communications platform that utilizes those voice and data channels already in place and being used around the world. And built-in features like Point-To-Point Linking, IP Dispatch and Push-to-Talk plus interoperability amongst historically non-compatible systems and makes choosing RoIP an easy decision.
