TRBOnet Enterprise 2.6: Advanced Dispatch System

We are proud to announce the release of TRBOnet Enterprise 2.6. This new release has a variety of added features and functions designed to solve many of the dispatch problems common in the radio communication industry.

The main release improvements are:

Voice Mail

The TRBOnet user can now use the Voice Mail function to record a personal message to transmit to an offline subscriber. The subscriber receives the personal call as soon they are online.

GPS Positioning

  • Support of the Open Street Map – the GPS Positioning tool now supports this type of map, which makes the monitoring much more convenient.

Text Messages

  • Message Passive – The dispatcher can send a text message to an offline subscriber. The subscriber gets the message as soon one gets online.
  • Text Message Interface in Separate Window – The dispatcher can open the Text Messages interface in a separate window
  • Dispatcher Name in the Text Message – The subscriber can see the sender’s name in the text message

RadioServer Log Management

The TRBOnet RadioServer Configurator tool now supports viewing the RadioServer system log and saving the log to an archive.

Features:

TRBOnet CrossPatch

The CrossPatch enables dispatchers to patch talk groups, channels, sites and systems together to enable seamless communication between all radio users of TRBOnet, regardless of frequency or if the radios are operating in Analog, Digital, IP site connect or Capacity plus. All from the click of a mouse.

TRBOnet RadioServer

TRBOnet RadioServer – the main component of the TRBOnet Enterprise – is software that allows you to retrieve and process the data from the radio network and from dispatchers then stores this data in the database. RadioServer provides the capability to control the radio network, register subscribers and set dispatchers’ rights etc.

TRBOnet Remote Dispatcher Console

The Remote Dispatcher Console interface provides remote access to the data from the database via IP. A dispatcher can communicate with any of the radio stations from a PC. A dispatcher with administrative rights can configure the parameters of the server.

TBOnet Agent (Remote Gateway)

The remote TRBOnet Agent is a gateway between the radio network and the IP network. It transfers all data from the radio network to the server via IP and all the commands from the server to the radio network. Remote agents unite geographically dispersed spots in one radio network.

VoIP (Voice over IP)

The VoIP communications technology offers the possibility of transmitting voice via IP networks. Thus, a remote dispatcher having access to the radioserver via the IP network can communicate with radio network subscribers and other dispatchers from any where in the world.

TX Passive

The TX Passive function allows the transmission to be delayed when the line is busy. The dispatcher records a message and queues it. TRBOnet RadioServer then transmits the message as soon as the line becomes free.

Intercom

The Intercom function allows dispatchers to communicate amongst themselves separately from the main line, thus, lessening the load of the line.

Voice Recording

TRBOnet provides the ability to record all conversations between dispatchers and subscribers (with the exception of private conversations and text messages between subscribers). The conversations are stored as audio files on the hard disk and are logged in the event log with date and time indication along with playback capability.

Emergency

The Emergency call is activated by the emergency button on a MOTOTRBO radio. When a subscriber presses the emergency button, the alarm mode is activated and the dispatcher gets the alarm message. All the calls from this subscriber are then broadcast and the system starts to monitor the subscriber.

The system also generates alarm signals after one of the following events:

  • Lone Worker Policy
  • Geofencing Policy
  • Speed Policy

GPS Positioning

The MOTOTRBO integrated GPS allows the location of subscribers and their routes to be indicated on a map. Vector and raster maps are supported (i.e. Google Earth, MapPoint, MapLib, etc).

Geofencing and Speed Control Policies

The Geofencing function allows the dispatcher to limit the movement of subscribers. The dispatcher can add regions on the map and make rules for entering or leaving a region. For example, when a subscriber leaves a region, the system sends the subscriber a message and generates an alarm signal for the dispatcher.

Messages (Predefined Messages, Scheduled Text Messages, Text Passive)

Both dispatchers and subscribers can send messages. The Predefined Messages function allows template messages to be sent. The Scheduled Text Messages function implements the possibility to send messages in an exact interval or in a time set by the dispatcher. The Text Passive function can be used in situations where a subscriber is offline. If a message has been sent it will be delivered when the subscriber is online.

  • Message Passive – The dispatcher can send a text message to an offline subscriber. The subscriber gets the message as soon one gets online.
  • Text Message Interface in Separate Window – The dispatcher can open the Text Messages interface in a separate window
  • Dispatcher Name in the Text Message – The subscriber can see the sender’s name in the text message

Telemetry

TRBOnet uses the data from telemetry sensors and buttons. For example, when a telemetry button on a subscriber’s radio is pressed the dispatcher receives a message about the telemetry. The dispatcher can set the parameters for telemetry.

Lone Worker

The Lone Worker Policy lets the dispatcher set a time interval during which communication with a subscriber is expected. For example, if a Lone Worker hasn’t called the dispatcher for 15 minutes, the subscriber receives a message and the dispatcher gets an alarm signal.

User Activity

The User Activity function lets the dispatcher create lists that subscribers can be assigned to due to their activity. For example, if a subscriber sends a message “On Duty” or presses an exact preset telemetry button, this subscriber gets assigned to the “On Duty” list in the Remote Dispatcher Console. The dispatcher can also assign subscribers to lists manually.

Stun Kill Passive

If the dispatcher gives a command to kill a radio which is offline TRBOnet can delay killing this radio. As soon as the radio is online the server kills it.

Voice Mail

The TRBOnet user can now use the Voice Mail function to record a personal message to transmit to an offline subscriber. The subscriber receives the personal call as soon as they are online.
