Daily operations of organizations across several sectors are more productive since making the leap from analog to digital voice communications. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology has allowed us to send voice data to digital devices more affordably. Instead of exchanging data through an aging network of copper wires, ethernet switches, transponders and PBX servers, data is transmitted today via the internet in the form of digital packets. Today's secure communication systems rely on voice encryption to relay and receive information promptly and minimize the risk of various security threats.
Radio over IP or RoIP works under the same principles as VoIP, although radio communications require a digital gateway. Previously, radio users communicated via radio frequencies with the help of microwave transmitters, extenders and antennas. Now they're sending data digitally through a local or wide area networks.
This digitization of voice data has also addressed many of the critical flaws of analog-based radio communications. When signals are jammed or when the location of the other user is too far away, the transmission of voice data was negatively affected. Today an organization enjoys a larger service area with a RoIP-integrated communication system — typically composed of two-way radios, consoles, routers, and a RoIP gateway.
Apart from greater coverage, here are the advantages of RoIP:
Enhanced reliability. In some organizations, there's information that needs to be quickly communicated. For instance, emergency response teams have to deploy respondents as quickly as possible, with respondents in the field reporting back to dispatchers. Because an IP network is generally more resilient than its analog counterparts, more efficient communications can be experienced. The quality of voice data being transmitted is also better and has better security features. Therefore, less prone to data breaches and eavesdropping.
Better interoperability. A RoIP gateway links several radio systems over an IP network. In a RoIP-powered system, the communications interoperability of radio types and brands is also permitted. By allowing device flexibility, it is easier for you as an organization to add (or replace) new users to an existing IP network. Additionally, you'll have more freedom when it comes to choosing which manufacturer or products you'll integrate into your system, depending on your needs, preference, and budget.
Improved productivity. When you can connect multiple base stations over huge areas, you can minimize errors and lags in communication. From the standpoint of those in the operation center, it facilitates a more streamlined remote management. In general, it can increase the productivity of the organization.
Lower expenses. Traditional analog radio hardware is costly to install and maintain. Switching to a RoIP-based communications network is more financially friendly in the long run. In addition, digital radios are becoming more affordable, you can also find hardware (e.g. Routers and extenders) to add to your network through many different resources. Interoperability is a key ingredient when buying digital radio hardware. The costs for digital radio devices continues to be more affordable as the technology improves.
Easier to maintain and repair. Especially if you frequently have critical and emergency situations, your need for secure communication systems becomes even more important than ever. Radio over IP software allows for high levels of digital encryption and is easier to repair and restore connectivity gateways. This is also another way you can save money and enhance productivity — while protecting your organization's reputation in the process.
