The
PUSH TO TALK ORGANIZATION gets the message
Disaster
preparedness/ emergency planning is a multi-faceted beast to
conquer:
- Wireless carriers
are notorious for domino type failures during even slight emergencies.
Reduced dependency on them makes your operation hardened against
communications loss.
- The federal, state
and local agencies can commandeer the wireless carriers during an emergency
but NOT yours or
ours.
- Small or large; you
need to "OWN a piece of the network"©.
With PTT Digital
you can do that.
- One-size DOES fit
all with digital communications since all departments can have the same
type of radio (translation: economies of scale = low cost).
- All facilities in a
multi-campus operation can use the same radio type.
- Have multiple radio
channels at one or more of your facilities? Pool the resources and in
case one fails the rest take up the load automatically...ask us HOW!
- Facilities can
inter-operate for self-preservation during a crisis by Radio Over IP (RoIP)
communications on your own Local Area or Wide Area networks.
- Assistance from one
facility can be rapidly brought to another.
- Common "hailing" or
all-call channels can be maintained separate from others.
- Radio
systems designed to be in the same frequency band next to amateur radio "HAM"
operators can cross-function and reach even more assistance.
- Radios
can do double-duty when called upon and operate BOTH bands requiring a simple
HAM license to use both frequencies (see www.arrl.org
for more).
- Not
a licensed HAM operator? There are LOTS of them out there that can operate the
interlinks for you and there is NEVER a charge for the service.
- External-networks
are available for backup, redundancy and contingency planning; the Push To
Talk Organization can be YOUR backup plan using the same radio.
- You simply rent
airtime on the wide-area network and never maintain or license it...just
switch the radio to the "Wide Area" channel and talk.
- If the Internet
goes down each site operates independently for failure-proof local
operation.
Push To Talk Digital
Radio Systems have engineered-in failure hardening elements designed to overcome
the issues outlined above.
Local professional
2-way radio technicians will meet with you to evaluate, design, install and
maintain it to suit your exact needs.
Never pay for
features you don't need and won't help you in emergency situations:
- SMS Texting is a
one-to-one messaging format; useless in a crisis.
- Digital 2-way radio
is One-To-Many for instant alerting and notification.
- E-Mail is not a
fast or secure way to alert people of an issue.
- Private 2-way radio
networks can be voice-logged for administrative review, wireless carriers can
NOT be logged or monitored which means ABUSE.
- You can talk over
your own network all you want at NO COST, there is no per-minute charge on
YOUR OWN system.
- Communicate from
a PC, handheld, base or mobile radio that you control 100%.
PTT
radios are programmable to cross-connect into the local Amateur Radio "HAM"
operators community for emergency preparedness, disaster recovery,
etc.
Communicating on the
Amateur Radio channels requires a simple FCC license.
