All your communications on one platform

A dispatcher that bridges networks

An organization runs two radios, one conventional and one DMR, with a single dispatcher managing both. During an emergency, the dispatcher bridges the person reporting the incident in the field and emergency services. The organization also needs to cover an area with no DMR reach, but good mobile signal.

Omnifunk integrates all three technologies (conventional, DMR, and PoC) into a single emergency channel. That way, the dispatcher coordinates everyone involved from one point, and can bring the corresponding emergency service onto the channel when needed.

The same architecture can link networks from different organizations into shared channels, for joint emergencies, shared operations, or other announcements.

Shared infrastructure across organizations

Several organizations working in the same area sometimes need to coordinate, but keep their communications separate the rest of the time. Each one has its own radio group and its own channel, with no access to the others' communications.

Omnifunk hosts these organizations on the same central infrastructure, with full logical separation between them: each organization only sees and hears its own traffic. When a joint operation or an emergency involving all of them comes up, the dispatcher opens a temporary shared channel for the organizations involved, without exposing the rest of their communications.

This architecture lowers infrastructure costs for each organization, since they share the server, gateway, and power backup, without giving up privacy in their day-to-day communications.
