Catalyst Communications — Pioneers in Critical-LTE Interworking
Since its founding in 1997, Catalyst Communications has firmly established itself as an innovator in Radio Control‑over‑IP solutions, enabling Push‑To‑Talk (PTT) voice communications for public safety, government, utilities, education, and other mission‑critical sectors.
As LTE networks evolve, Catalyst plays a pivotal role in bridging modern broadband systems — including standards‑compliant MCPTT applications — with legacy Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems. This essential “interworking” ensures that both new and existing users can communicate seamlessly during the transition to LTE-based networks.
Why Catalyst Stands Out
Trusted Innovation
Catalyst was the first to market with a Radio‑over‑IP dispatch solution for first responders — back in 1999 — replacing leased‑line links with IP networks.
End‑to‑End Interoperability
By working closely with multiple vendors, Catalyst ensures that different technologies and systems can interoperate smoothly in real-world deployments.
Continuity and Reliability
For over 25 years, Catalyst has delivered stable, high-performing communication systems backed by always‑on customer support.
Our Purpose
At Catalyst, our mission is clear: make critical communications simple, accessible, and dependable. Leveraging deep expertise in IP networking, radio systems, and intuitive user interfaces, we design solutions that connect first responders and vital infrastructure workers — especially when it matters most.
Multi-map workspace
Display multiple map types at once (e.g., street, hybrid). Customize the view with an operator-friendly toolkit to match incident needs.
Find anyone fast
“Find a Subscriber” centers the map on any unit instantly, cutting search time when seconds matter.
Integrated dispatching
InterLoc is natively integrated with Propulsion™ Dispatch and Catalyst interoperability tools—so mapping, voice, and messaging work as one.
Broad device coverage
Track individuals using portable LMR radios, MCPTT LTE devices/smartphones, and vehicles with mobile radios—on the same map.
Core Capabilities
✓ Radio‑over‑IP Dispatch: Proven and reliable dispatch technologies tailored for mission-critical environments.
✓ LMR + LTE Gateway Solutions: Robust interoperability tools that integrate traditional LMR, modern Broadband / LTE (MCPTT), and telephony infrastructures.
✓ Patented Incident Command Tools: Catalyst’s ICE™ (Incident Commander Element) and other solutions are enhanced by a patented system that manages communication across incompatible devices — including intelligent handling of busy or idle radios with clear, uninterrupted audio.
Join Us in the Future of Public Safety
Catalyst Communications is at the forefront of bridging the gap between legacy and next-gen networks — ensuring that emergency responders stay connected, regardless of the technology they’re using.
