Public Safety

Ensuring Interoperable, Real-time Group Communications for First Responders

First-responder organizations need secure, real-time communications, yet fire, police, emergency medical, rescue, public health, and defense organizations may have different radios, from multiple manufacturers, running on separate frequencies - all of which can hamper communications efforts.

While it may be possible to increase and standardize radio frequency spectrum allocations for public safety organizations, upgrade or replace incompatible radio systems, or develop and enforce new communications standards, none of these solutions provide answers for public safety organizations with funding constraints and the need for communications interoperability today. The answer is WAVE from Twisted Pair Solutions.

WAVE is a software application suite that manages secure, real-time group communications over the IP network, and with WAVE for LMR^TM, you can enable interoperable communications over any type of two-way radio, phone, or PC.

Importantly, WAVE has undergone rigorous testing to ensure dependability under extreme conditions. WAVE meets U.S. Department of Homeland Security requirements for interoperability and integration, and is used worldwide by critical facilities, public safety, and defense agencies with the most stringent security requirements.
