Radio over IP (RoIP)

Radio over IP offers a cost effective way to interconnect radio systems and operators together. It is a technology that enhances and adds value to radio communications networks.

The IPR Range of Gateways provide IP access to existing analog radios whilst the DRG Range provides advanced networking features and interoperability to digital radios.

Omnitronics gateways are designed to be used in conjunction with our range of Dispatch Solutions. They provide operators with voice and data from the radios, enabling operators to take advantage of the advanced functionality each radio provides. Alternatively, the gateways may be used without dispatch consoles to provide site–to-site connections over IP.

All of the Omnitronics gateways are vendor agnostic and will generally work with most brands and models of two-way radio.
