Integrated Dispatch Platform
Unified access, integrated switching, and multi-level dispatch across radio, telephone, LTE and video networks
Overview
The Integrated Dispatch Platform is an integrated communication and dispatch solution presented by FAAB Group. It provides a unified access, integrated switch, and application service platform capable of horizontal interconnection, vertically multi-level dispatch, and management based on authority and region. The system brings together conventional and trunked radio, telephone, LTE / cellular PTT, video, recording, group calling and locating into a single command and control environment. It is built from access gateways, server-based services (General/Basic, Media, and MRPS servers), and dispatch applications running on standard PC consoles, IP phones and portable tablets. The platform supports interconnection between multiple systems and unified dispatch across them, with backup/redundancy options for continuity.
Integrated Dispatch Platform designed to provide unified access, integrated switching, and an application service layer, capable of horizontal interconnection, vertically multi-level dispatch, and management based on authority and region.
System architecture is organized in four layers: a Video Wall layer; an Interface layer offering an SDK (API/Webservice/unified alarm call-taking) with modules for Trunked Radio, Conventional, Telephone, Group patching, Locating, Status, LTE, cellular PTT, Video, Recording, Multimedia Conference, Group Call and end-to-end encryption; a Service layer of General, Media and records servers; and an Access layer of gateway devices and access gateways (conventional and trunked radio, SIP, telephone, HF/short-wave, cellular PTT, LTE and video surveillance).
Network topology connects the platform's background servers (Switch Server, Media Server, records server), client workstations and a control matrix over Ethernet to an LCD video wall, with access units linking to trunked and conventional DMR radio systems (including repeater and MSO switching).
Dispatch components span three groups: Access (radio access units, gateway server, PSTN gateway) to realize interconnection among multiple systems; Service (Basic server, Multimedia server, records server); and dispatch applications (Standard PC console, IP phone, tablet) to realize unified dispatch among multiple systems.
The Gateway Server connects narrow-band and broad-band core networks over an IP network and acts as the access gateway for the dispatcher. Core network connectivity covers conventional and trunked DMR radio, cellular push-to-talk and LTE (3GPP). Full dispatch features include terminal/group/organization management, Voice Call, SDS, Video Call and MDS (for LTE). Minimum hardware: 4-core server-class CPU, 16GB DDR, 2x1000M Ethernet, 500GB 7.2K SATA disk; OS server-class 64-bit operating system.
The radio access unit supports access of two vehicle-mounted radio stations (digital and analog), from mainstream vendors. It offers 2x 100/1000M Base-T Ethernet interfaces, 12VDC/1.5A power, operating environment 0 to 40 C, storage -10 to 60 C, humidity 10 to 90% non-condensing, and multi-region power supply standards (China, UK, US, Europe, Australia). It serves as an interconnection gateway between two PMRs with no need of a dispatcher, and as an access gateway for the dispatcher.
