The Challenge

Connecting Over Long Distances

The challenge is to connect a number of hospitals to the one MPT1327 radio network over a wide area of over 66,848km2.

Each location also has differing requirements on the level of dispatch and monitoring.

The Solution

RoIP Health Care Network

By placing IPR400 (4-port) and IPR110+ (single port) gateways at each repeater site, hospitals are now able to connect to each other using Radio over IP (RoIP).

RoIP provides a cost-effective means of connecting resources over wide areas as it uses existing IP networks.

Depending on their dispatch requirements, each location chose whether they used 960 Handset Consoles, a 960CC Consoles or IPRdispatch Touch Screen Consoles.

Using MPT1327 radios also provided another level of challenge. However, the IPR gateways proved to pass in-based signaling better than other VoIP gateways on the market.
