What Is Radio Over IP?

Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) is similar to VoIP technologies being used regularly by thousands of businesses all around the world.

Basically, RoIP technology provides a method of linking multiple radios or repeaters together though an Internet connection. This is known as Site Linking or Point-to-Point linking.

With an added command layer to control basic radio functions such as push-to-talk (PTT) and frequency change, RoIP technology can link different communication devices together in a single network.

What Can RoIP Do For Me?

Turn your phone into a two way radio! Eliminate the need to carry a radio.
Communicate securely anywhere! Your communication signal cannot be scanned in a complete ROIP system.
IP Dispatch or remote base station.
Allow otherwise incompatible radio systems to communicate seamlessly, sharing a common data connection.
Push-to-talk for mobile phones and PDAs allowing SmartPhone users to communicate directly with radio users and dispatchers.

The Different Types of RoIP

Site Linking Push To Talk (P2T) IP Dispatch Interoperability

Site Linking

The most common form of RoIP is using an internet connection to link two radio sites together. If both sites are already equipped with Internet, this can be a cost-effective solution.

Linking sites in the past usually required a telephone line or installation of special equipment that could require a large antenna. Even then, if the antenna were not in line-of-sight with each other, it could require multiple hops to make the connection.

Modern RoIP technology does not have a distance limitation, as long as both sides are able to connect to the internet.

Push To Talk (P2T)

Using a P2T app on a cell phone combines the unlimited range and security of a cell phone with the convenience of a two-way radio. A standard two-way radio signal can be intercepted with a common scanner, but a cell phone cannot.

Additionally, traditional land mobile radios (LMR) can only access the local or regional radio network they were programmed for. A cell phone however, is able to utilize networks covering more than 95% of the population. A P2T user can carry on a 2-way conversation with radio users anywhere in the world.

IP Dispatch

Whether it is a single user controlling a single radio or a full E-911 dispatch center with multiple operators, RoIP connects them to their end users.

Using software, users can operate radios from anywhere that has Internet connection. Available for most devices including desktops, laptops, tablets and PDAs.

End Points are GPS tracked for security and both sides are recorded for record keeping.

Interoperability

One of the most exciting applications of RoIP technology is its ability to quickly and easily bridge the gap between otherwise incompatible radio systems. Each radio is connected to a universal radio interface via the microphone jack or auxiliary connector.

At a minimum, all that’s needed is RX audio, TX audio and PTT control. Some more advanced systems offer additional radio controls, such as frequency change, monitor, ANI, etc.

FAQs

What Types of Devices Can Use RoIP?

End users can use any communications device they wish including legacy and new radios, analog and digital UHF and VHF radios, analog and digital PBX phones, cell phones, software phones, IP phones, PDAs, and computers. This flexibility allows agencies and individuals that do not use public safety radios to be tied into the emergency communications stream when necessary, whether it is the Mayor, hospitals, public health, the National Guard or an expert that is needed during an emergency event.

Is RoIP Secure?

RoIP systems use high levels of security including a variety of techniques. Some of these techniques include identity management for both user and IP based device authentication, access and using security based assigned permissions, encryption, and also the ability to monitor, audit and record activity.

These security techniques only affect the transmission while in the RoIP system. If the original transmission occurs outside of the RoIP system then the security does not cover that portion.
