IP|Console™
IP|Console is an advanced full-featured Radio Control over IP (RCoIP) PRIMARY dispatch system designed to meet the stringent reliability requirements of Public Safety, Utility, and Government dispatch applications. IP|Console fully supports radio systems from most manufacturers and a multitude of radio system technologies such as SMARTNET, EDACs, P25, Conventional, and LTR as well as cellular push to talk (PTT) networks.
Fully customizable user interface
Configurable User Interface
IP|Console features a fully customizable user interface to improve dispatcher efficiency and minimize operator errors. The system administrator designs the console configuration—what the dispatcher sees and what functions are available on the console—on a by-user basis. Configurations can be stored on an Administration Server and accessed by console positions as required, meaning that any dispatcher can sit at any physical console and load their own assigned layout.
Key Features
Key features include a dedicated module for each gateway, a full featured call recording and playback module, a powerful stacked paging module, alert tone generation, priority marker, support for a select and as many as 3 unselect speakers, and integration with Catalyst’s advanced interoperability (IntelliLink) module.
Scalable and Reliable Architecture
IP|Console is a scalable solution that can be cost effectively configured for a small number of positions that usually support primary dispatch for a large city. The robust distributed IP based client-server architecture eliminates the need for a central switch thus no single point of failure exists. At the heart of the system is Catalyst’s advanced RCoIP gateway technology which performs a host of functions to meet the extreme information and reliability requirements for critical communications. Examples are the ability to decode and display critical messages such as unit ID and Emergency as well as the ability to intelligently buffer audio to ensure transmission occurs as soon as possible but with no risk of lost audio. Catalyst Gateways may be mixed and matched in any combination to meet the requirements of centers that dispatch using multiple radio systems.
