Today two-way radio systems are used in almost every industry. Many businesses use land mobile radios as their primary means of communication.However, it is not always reasonable and cost-effective to provide all employees of a company with two-way radios. For example, office staff members can be tens or hundreds of kilometers away from a radio site where a radio network is deployed. In this case, office employees are likely to use telephones. Connecting field personnel to office staff requires an efficient gateway linking a radio system to a telephone network.
The Phone Interconnect feature is designed to extend the TRBOnet voice functions to SIP and PSTN endpoints. From the dispatcher's perspective, the multi-line phone connection becomes part of the voice dispatch workspace along with the radio PTT boxes.When the feature is activated, the phone subscribers registered on the built-in or external SIP servers as well as PSTN users become first-class peers in TRBOnet: the phone calls can be joined to a conference with the radio subscribers, the phone endpoints can directly dial into and be reachable for the radios and the dispatcher, the audio messages can be sent to phones (played back when the number answers), etc.TRBOnet includes an internal SIP telephony PBX server. You can also create SIP trunk connections with external PBX servers or route calls to an external PBX server as if it is just another SIP endpoint.
